I don't think any game lover that was around when SFII was released will forget it. It was just such a huge phenomenon in the game world. I remember in every arcade in Sydney, there was always crowds around the SFII machines. Arcade machines were already everywhere in Sydney back then. Every shopping centre had at least one huge arcade, sometimes 2. There was also chemists, fish and chip shops, pools, movie theatres, newsagents...you name it, you could find an arcade machine there. SFII just ramped that up even more though. It was such an amazing time. Online gaming has NOTHING on the arcade era.
That’s awesome. I love hearing about what the era was like in other regions, it’s fascinating. I totally agree with you, online just doesn’t replicate the experience.
Scarlet Sprites Absolutely! I will add that by 1993, SEGA New Astro Citys had become the standard here which continued with tge Blast City, Megalo's etc. Apart from the occasional dedicated cab that was a stand up. I finally just bought my first cab which arrived last week;, a New Astro City. I'm addicted already! I am also getting another NAC along with an original 4 player Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder soon. Can't wait! GA2 one of my all time favourite games, shame SEGA was too stupid to port it to the Saturn. Also got a Spiderman board to go with it. Another of my favourtie SEGA games that never got a hole release. I am a diehard SEGA fanboy but I also hate them when I look back on things SEGA Japan did, lol. I saw you other video with the VF machine, so jealous! There is a VF2 machine on ebay AU at the moment for $750 but it does not include the game. Quite the joke really. If it was complete, I wouldn't be able to resist. Apart from the cabs, I've bought Sunset Riders Snow Bros., Shinobi, SSFIIX, Alien vs Predator, Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha and SFII' Turbo. I love Turbo personally. I try to stick to Jp versions to get the untampered games. I also bought a bootleg Pandora's Box 4s so I can hack it. Just have to wait for something to arrive now so I can finally try the NAC out!
Congrats on all of those purchases, that’s quite the collection you’ve amassed in a short time. Interesting hearing about the Sega candy cabinets being so common, here in the States few people would recognize them outside of enthusiasts. West Coasters have a much easier time landing them, they are pretty scarce here on the East. I have a Naomi 2 NetBoot setup running in my Blast City, definitely look into that if you haven’t already. As for CPS1, Alien vs. Predator is one of my favorites, great pickup!
@@ScarletSprites CE is my fav also, so much I made a dedicated dynamo cab into a sf2 ce cab, bezel, cpo with plexi glass, side art, added led lights for the marquee to eliminate heating and warping of marquee, IL Eurosticks. Im tempted to put in an actual sf2 ce board but I find the pb4s+ is fine with options to play other games too
That sounds really nice, I bet it looks great too. Some day I’d like to come across an actual SF cab that I could run the original board in. I’m never fast enough when stuff pops up.
@@ScarletSprites ya original stuff hard to come buy, the lcd monitor sucked as everything looked blocky so I got a scan line generator which makes everything look like a crt and how I remembered it minus the screen curvature of the crt
I played through that in an arcade a little over a year ago. That one is definitely doable on here as well, I just haven’t gotten around to burning the chips. Good call!
It’s definitely the one I have the most nostalgia for. I always felt like Turbo was just trying to revive new life into something that had started to fade a little.
I remember back in the early 90s ,when Street Fighter II: Champion Edition arcade cabinet arrived in my city , the arcade cabinet was overcrowded for days , the arcade owner made a lot of cash out of it
It's crazy that you can play that on a phone. I wonder where we'll be in another 30 years... well I mean statistically I'll most likely be dead but the rest of you young peeps, it should be pretty damn sweet.
Yea i like champion edition the most i like the speed I've never really liked to play fast prefer to settle into a match and really gets some good combos going, also i love the champion edition colors for the players over the turbo. I bought 3 champion edition cps1s while i was in Japan a few years back 2 of them i converted to the usa hyper fighting and the other to the Japanese turbo edition, i like the jpn turbo the big turbo in big letters as it scrolls across the screen is pretty cool, i have got all of the original sf2 pcbs now, street fighter 2 world warriors, street fighter 2 Champion Edition, street fighter 2 hyper fighting, street fighter 2 turbo. super Street fighter 2 new challengers, super street fighter 2 x and hyper street fighter 2, I'm a proper mega fan of the original series, liked it up to the point of 3rd strike but it got a bit silly after that and lost interest.
Nice! I have been tempted to pick up a World Warrior board a few times but I always talk myself out of it. Realistically I know I’m just going to end up playing Champion Edition. Like you, I’ve never played any Street Fighter after 3S.
@@ScarletSprites yea this is why i like hyper street fighter 2, you can choose world warrior characters not only do you get the world warrior faces, victory poses but you also gets the strengths and weaknesses of the original game, i always found it odd in world warriors one hit would take off huge amounts of energy bar that is also the same with world warrior characters in hyper.
I like 3rd Strike and Zero 3, but it’s tough for me to go with anything other than Champion Edition as my top pick. I know that’s largely nostalgia based, but every time I play it there is this sense of being at home.
@@ScarletSprites yes, I can watch the attract mode forever, the game never gets old. Putting in 25cents and taking on new challengers for hours was best value lol
Hey man. Hope you are still active. I did this on a Street Fighter II' - Hyper Fighting [B-Board 91635B-2] I believe this could be a Hyper Fighting or a championship edition from what I have seen on arcade museum. We have tried two different sets of eproms and both have resulted in no video then some "grunt" noises that sound like Ehonda then shortly after the game just days "SEVEN" over and over again. Any ideas?
RoomerJ I’m guessing your board works fine otherwise? Where did you get the files that you burned? I’d maybe source a different set (FBA Reference) and try different EPROMs if you have them. Not sure what else to suggest really, but I hope you get it solved.
@@ScarletSprites It came with the red wave ones when we got it but I've gotten two sets of eproms for Hyper Fighting from two different sellers and both do the same thing. It's the strangest thing. I've never run across this before
Nobody playes Turbo Hyper Fighting nowadays, I would keep it as SF2 CE, theres a lot more competition and even some new "tech" found in the recent years for CE.
No argument there, CE has always been my favorite. I can load Super Turbo now really easily via Darksoft’s Multi, so I’m even less inclined to pop chips on and off a board these days.
Awesome vid, man. I just gotin a SFII board today with some graphical issues. Going to pick up a burner and see if I can burn some new chips to see if that fixes the issue. Your vid helped make sense of the process.
Glad to hear it was helpful. The little burners are definitely nice to have on hand if you start collecting boards. I was even able to make a few Neo Geo repros, although that’s a more time consuming process. Best of luck with the board. I burned and replaced every eprom I could on a Final Fight board and it didn’t solve the issue. It still doesn’t hurt to try before going down other paths.
If its graphic glitch on a cps1 board you 99%have a poorly seated or faulty c board,just fixed a strider with a gng c board,there a compatability list online to explain what games have interchangable c boards,very common on cps1
Hi bro, amazing video!, I have two questions, can you overwrite the chip multiple times? Can minipro make rom backups?, Thank You for Your answer. Like!!!!!
Thanks kamps. Yes, the chips can be written over several times. You’ll need an eraser though (UV light box) if you want to reuse them for something else. Secondly, yes, the MiniPro can read original chips and dump the data to a file for you.
Impressive bro, thank you. Can You recommend me a UV light box for the task?, I see a lot of them... www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=UV+light+box+for+chip+erase&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=mini+pro+chip+burner
You should be ok with just about anything you fine, it’s a relatively simple device with a light and timer. I got mine on Amazon, it was $15 at the time. Just search for EPROM Eraser.
Great vid mate got a new sub over here!, Just a question though Ive got the turbo rom 21 and 22 are .bin but 23 isn't did you have to change the 23 extension to .bin or do i need to find a file where all three are .bins? any help would be appreciated cheers keep up the good stuff! PS going to get myself a cps2 adapter never new they were about
Thanks man! I actually don’t recall what format it was in, but the files I used came from the rom in the FBA reference set. Definitely check out JNX’s stuff, James does good work and is a great contributor to the community with both products and knowledge.
The converted CE boards into Hyperfighting run slower than a Hyperfighting dedicated cab. If you go to Streetfighter 2 Hyperfighting shoruyken.com, they talk about the speed differences in the converted arcade boards.
Im late to the party but there were never any official hyper fighting boards(thus there is no possible way to find two speed versions of hyper fighting out in the arcade world). Hyper fighting was always sold as an upgrade kit to the CE boards. The misconception where everyone's arcade board is slower than mame versions / emulation etc due to running HF roms on a CE board should be ignored because that reasoning is flat out wrong.
You have to take a small screwdriver and lift under tabs on each side of b to c connector back and forth til they start to unseat,most dont just pull off man,youll be fine and it will come off
Hyper fighting(was it even called turbo outside of the SNES edition?) was more refined and a better game, champion edition was the weird step child in-between.
We always referred to it as simply “Turbo” in the arcade, given that was the first word on the marquee. Like any lingo, that could be completely regional.
The Japanese version was released as Street Fighter II' Turbo: Hyper Fighting. For the releases outside Japan "Turbo" is omitted from the title screen itself for some reason but promotional material for it still contained it.
while everyone loved CE in that era CE was very busted with dictator and guile dominating the entire cast, while Hf was more balanced with the toning down of a few characters.
@@luisgalleagos6836 I like Hyper Fighing case CE is too slow.But im curious wich characters was toning(tonned?) down?Barlog maybe?I remember playing as him in the 90' i doing good.Now something not working as well as then.But im playing as a Ken now better then in 90' :)
I have a Hyper Fighting board, can i just swap the same chips over to my World Warrior board and do the same thing? or does this only work with Champion Edition?
I don’t think it works on a WW board, they are slightly different than what was used for CE & HF. I believe there are some hacked roms you can fool with, but no way to convert WW to an official version of CE or HF.
looks like i need to find me a new cab to build a hyper.. I was hoping to make a switcher..is that possible with the WW? like plug both boards in and a way to switch back and forth between them?
Like a Jamma switcher? I came across one that a few people were talking about that was supposedly pretty decent. There was a button combo you held down that made it switch between the boards. I’ve been considering something like that for my Astro City cab (CPS2 Multi, CPS3, Final Fight, Champion Edition).
Enrique Lopez Yes, it’s the same chips (21, 22, and 23) that you would swap. You just burn whichever version of the game you want to those three chips.
