About kofXI


Recommended Posts

King of Fighters XI is not a Neo-Geo game. Samurai Shodown V Special was/is the last commercial Neo-Geo game released. KOF XI is for the Atomiswave arcade hardware and the PS2.

King of Fighters XI runs on Atomiswave hardware in the arcades. Atomiswave is based on Dreamcast hardware. Dreamcast hardware is far more advanced than the Neo Geo 16-bit cartridge system so it will NEVER be emulated for KAWAKS or Nebula.

 

This is why it was easily ported over to the Playstation 2 since that hardware was similar if not more advanced to the Dreamcast.

You could wait 20 years before anyone would emulate that hardware. They can't even do the CPS3 yet.

Seeing as how most of the popular games for the CPS3 were available on the Dreamcast ... I don't expect this system to ever be emulated. Most people will just download the latest copy of the nullDC dreamcast emulator, grab a backup CD of the game they wanted to play with a "cps3 emulator" and have fun.

 

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPS-3 ...........

 

The CPS-3 features a very elaborate security mechanism. Games are supplied with a CD, which contains the encrypted game contents, and a security cartridge containing a battery-powered decryption chip and the game BIOS. When the CPS-3 board is first powered on, the contents of the CD are flashed onto a bank of SIMMs. The data is then decrypted via the security cartridge. The security cartridge is extremely sensitive to any sort of tampering, which will result in the decryption key being erased and the cartridge being rendered useless.

And, in the latest mame, they have started work on Atomiswave!

 

Wow things have really changed since I got into all this. That's great news.

 

Still, no CPS-3 means no Warzard... ever...

 

It seems like it will come down to when and if Capcom decides to include it as part of its network strategy, which is a shame. But who knows aye.
