Tech: CPS3 system

[Eric]

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade (More info?)

Newbie question here....I see that some of the Capcom boards use a CPS3
system. The boards don't appear to be regular JAMMA boards, though the
couple of auctions I have seen indicate they are JAMMA.

I have also noticed that there are usually two of them that somehow plug
together.

How do these CPS3 boards work? Do I need some special adapter to plug them
into, or are they just JAMMA boards in a fancy case?

Any help would be great. I'm looking to get a Marvel Super Heroes game up
and running.

MSH is CPS 2. The difference between CPS 2 and CPS 3, among other things,
is that CPS 3 uses a board and a drive to hold data.
