There's some really cool news on the emulation front. Someone has FINALLY cracked Capcom's CPS III hardware encryption.

For those that don't know what that is....the easiest way to explain it is that CPS III is Capcom's latest hardware that they release certain games on in the arcades.
Namely the Street Fighter III Trilogy and Red Earth (Warzard in Japan), and a few oddities like Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure. These once unplayable roms are now working and work surprisingly well. The only thing I noticed was a slight audio glitch occasionally. But no dropped frames or sprite glitches yet.

CPS II was the hardware that games like Marvel vs. Capcom 2, X-men vs. Streetfighter and Aliens vs. Predator ran on back in the day. But up until now, trying to decrypt a CPS III board let to failure and a fried arcade board...which CPS III hardware is still expensive.

I'll post more on all of this later along with some screen shots.

Looks like my arcade console will finally get my favorite fighter after all!

Gatsu OUT!


EDIT/LATE ADDITION:

Jet Li is a lying doucherface. He said a while back that he wasn't doing kung fu/action movies anymore.
Well Jet Li...what the fuck is this?

He and Jason Stathom (Snatch, Transporter, Crank) fight in the flick.

So Jet Li is a big stinky lying poo-poo face.

lol

Jet Li did not say he was no longer doing kung fu/action movies. He said he was no longer doing "epic" films. Quote from Wiki "Jet Li has stated in an interview with the Shenzhen Daily newspaper that this will be his last martial arts epic (Fearless), which is also stated in the movie's television promotions. However, he plans to continue his film career in other genres. Specifically, he plans to continue acting in action and martial arts films; epic films deal more with religious and philosophical issues"

bah. thats not what he said in the interview on the Fearless DVD. He said that fighting was now against his beliefs and he wanted to follow a career path and make films that didn't have fighting.
