![]() ![]() Looking at Model 2 there are 5 fighting games, 2 SHMUPs, a Beat 'em up, Baseball, Soccer, and Virtual On. Unlike Model 2 though there doesn't seem to be any game that was released on both Step 1.0 and Step 1.5, though most of the Virtua Strikers were on both 1.5 and 2.0. So for Model 3 the list of "playable" games is much much smaller and again Virtua Fighter finds itself on the odd hardware. With that in mind the non-special cab games look like this: From what I understand Step 2.0 and step 2.1 are functionally the same and any game for one you can play on the other. It's my understanding that they all use the same CPU and ROM boards but Step 1 and 1.5 each have unique GPU boards. (IMO These are the next most likely to be played in a standard Cab):Ĭlick to expand.Model 3 has Step 1.0, Step 1.5, Step 2.0 and Step 2.1 While still a small game list it would get all of the "playable" games on one hardware platform.įor the sake of completeness these are the other Model 2 games: I wonder if a game like Dynamite Cop that has ROM versions for 2A, 2B, and 2C could be used as a template for converting Virtua Fighter 2's program ROMs to Model 2B hardware. not only that but the only game here without a Model 2B ROM release is Virtua Fighter 2.Īs I understand it, of those games that have ROMs for more than one hardware version, the asset ROMs are the same and it's only the program ROMs that are different. The "Model 2" and "Model 2C" hardware are nothing but specialized games, and so all of the standard-cab-capable games all fall under "Model 2A" and "Model 2B". Sonic Championship/Sonic the Fighters (2B only) ![]() Kicking out games with specialized cabinets (like racing games, gun games, an other weird games like top skate and rail chase) and leaving in games that could be played on a candy cab with an appropriate panel (like Virtual on and Dynamite baseball) we're left with this:ĭynamite Cop/Dynamite Deka 2 (2A or 2B or 2C) So I was thinking about this a bit more today and was looking at the game list for Model 2.įrom what I understand you can't interchange ROMs between Model 2/2A/2B/2C PCB sets, however there were a number of games that were released on more than 1 hardware version so there are ROM sets available for each supported hardware version. ![]()
