CPS2 Final Beta
(español abajo)
We finally close the CPS2 beta series this week with four titles:
Hyper SF2 Anniversary Edition
Armored Warriors
Gigawing
Mars Matrix
I am very thankful to all of you for supporting the development of this core. However, I must say that it is still not perfect. A bug makes Mars Matrix run at a crazy speed and breaks Gigawing final boss logic. I still haven't run the PCB speed checks either. Finally, support for the tournament board isn't done yet.
The work will continue on the core once I make the public release. And, starting next week, we will resume the System 16 betas. I think the bugs remaining in CPS2 are related to the Shinobi bug we saw before. So I will dig into it.
I know many people join to enjoy the betas, but a lot of maintenance and refinement work is done after a core goes public. Your contribution to the project especially supports these less exciting development tasks.
Thanks again!

Finalmente cerramos la serie beta de CPS2 esta semana con cuatro títulos:
1. Edición de aniversario de Hyper SF2
2. Armored Warriors
3. Gigawing
4. Mars Matrix
Estoy muy agradecido a todos vosotros por apoyar el desarrollo de este núcleo. Sin embargo, debo decir que todavía no es perfecto. Un error hace que Mars Matrix corra a una velocidad loca y rompe la lógica del jefe final de Gigawing. Todavía no he realizado las comprobaciones de velocidad de la PCB. Finalmente, el soporte para la placa torneo (juego en red) aún no está disponible.
El trabajo continuará en el cor una vez que haga el lanzamiento público. Y, a partir de la semana que viene, reanudaremos las betas de System 16. Creo que los errores que quedan en CPS2 están relacionados con el error de Shinobi que ya vimos. Así que indagaré en ello.
Sé que muchas personas se suman a Patreon para disfrutar de las versiones beta, pero hay mucho trabajo de mantenimiento y refinamiento después de que un cor es público. Vuestra contribución al proyecto apoya especialmente estas tareas de desarrollo más grises.
¡Gracias de nuevo y nos vemos la semana que viene!

I have a banner saying the core is in beta phase, place the file beta.zip in games/mame, I already put the jtcps2.zip in that file. the game is loading nd working, but with the banner in front. Does anybody knows what´s wrong in my aproach? Thank you very much endeed!
Thanks! I I saw there's an update_all integration now for the beta cores. Should I purge my current beta cores before using the update_all beta script or would they simply overwrite the older files? Also, if I need to manually remove mine, I'm not sure which files I have to purge exactly. Also, once the final cores are public, do we also need to manually purge the beta cores before updating? Thanks again for the great work!
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I became a patron cos of all the marvelous capcom fighters, and the awesome development work you've been doing. Keep it up.
Thank you Jose, Glad I can finally support :)
Favourite part of this now the fine tweaking!! Amazing work and you’ll have my support through system 16 too
gracias!
I have enjoyed being a patron and being on the CPS2 journey with you. Whatever you turn your hand to next will be of great benefit to the Mister Community for sure I’m looking forward to and will be very grateful for the next project. Thanks for all your hard work. 😃
Amazing job Jotego. Keep up the good work.
Great work!
My MiSTer has basically been a permanent SSFIIX box for the last few weeks. Thank you for everything.
That’s a wonderful usage!
As always, you are amazing! Thank you so much for these!
Thank you once again Jose, fantastic work
Any idea why Mars Matrix might be running really fast and has no hit detection?
Thanks alot Jose :)
I’m really looking forward to sitting and playing tonight. I’m such a huge fan of the CPS2. As a system there are some exceptional titles. Honestly capcom should be paying you for preserving this history. Thank you JT
Do I have to put the .MD files in the arcade folder?
Sweet, Super Mars Matrix Hyper Turbo Edition! Kidding man, excellent work as always, thank you!
It runs so fast that it feels like the MiSTer will break!
It's like every-weekend-xmas. You have an idea what would be the next present and are curious about the next after that. Still stunning. Thanks for this continueing childhood with way more technical background!
This is Legend! Thanksful your all of work! So so exciting to me. I'm so happy :)
Felicitaciones Jose!! ya está casi terminado, siempre va a haber lugar para mejoras, es increíble que ya se puedan jugar todos los títulos de este sistema, un trabajo maravilloso!!!! Saludos! Pd: en todas las versiones de super street fighter II turbo hay un error en el nivel de M. Bison la parte del fondo del escenario tiembla y se mueve a destiempo, te aviso por si nadie lo notó, saludos!!
Thanks for Gigawing!! So been looking forward to this. Can confirm the graphical glitches you showed in another post is still present in stage one and two then it glitched out totally in stage three at one point leaving the sound stuck as well. Still I'm super happy you made it so far!! 😁 Got a new record as well 2745934383110. :)
Indeed, on a couple of occasions you may get a small graphical glitch, but those are rare in the whole game. The one that worries me is when the sound gets stuck. Congratulations on your new record! I'm troubled reading so many digits ;-)
Honestly only joined for the CPS2 beta but man you put in so much work you deserve every penny. Thanks for everything!!
I am in admiration of taking your personal time and knowledge to put these out. Thank you!
The original idea for me was to pay for your Patreon only to get access to the CPS2 Beta. I couldn't wait :-) But I'm astonished by your work, your dedication, the feedbacks you give, the explanations about your progress and so on. So I've decided some time ago that I will continue to support your Patreon after the Beta. And for a long time. Congrats again and thanks for your incredible work 😄
Thank you, 1040STF :-) By the way, I was a 520STE
Vampire Hunter 2 works again, thank you!!! i'm here for the long haul, bring on System 16 :)
wonderful progress, Jotego !! seeing CPS2 so close to being finished is truly impressive! really looking forward to seeing mars matrix running correctly, and to learn what the next core youre going to work on next is. (praying for CPS3, but PGM will be very welcomed as well)
Mars matrix is running very fast , any ideas folks? thankyou

Como un buen vino, un Core que ha ido madurando poco a poco, enhorabuena a tí y al team betatester, sin duda un poco más de fermentación y saldrá un exquisito caldo, abrazos cracks ;-)
Thank you you for all the work you've done on these.
Thanks. Too bad that two good shmups couldn't get fixed for the public release.
Yes, Gigawing is playable though.
Love your work Jotego!
Thank you Jotego, very excited about System 16. Late 80s arcade games ftw! Appreciate all that you do.
