Capcom Play System 3 finally decrypted
Fans have been clamoring for it for years, and finally we are all one step closer to CPS3 emulation. After about two months of hard work, the encryption in the Capcom Play System 3 has finally been broken down by a coder who goes by the name of Andreas.
This new development doesn’t actually guarantee CPS3 emulation just yet, as MAME developer David “Haze” Haywood points out. The decryption’s already done but the emulation side of the equation still has a ways to go. Nevertheless, this is without a doubt one of the many memorable emulation milestones in recent years.
If you’re wondering what CPS3’s decryption will bring to the emulation world, here’s a list of titles that run on CPS3. It’s pretty short, but the games on it are quite good, cementing the CPS3’s rep as an extremely powerful 2D system with smooth, fluid animation.
- JoJo’s Venture
- JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
- Street Fighter III: New generation
- Street Fighter III, 2nd Impact: Giant Attack
- Street Fighter III, 3rd Strike: Fight for the Future
- Warzard/Red Earth
