Show this to the original Capcom engineers and film it, I want to see the look on their faces.

[@selfelected3832]

I bought two to save my Marvel superheroes and X-Men vs. Street Fighter thank you so much for this awesome little board

[@Adam-rt7lp]

Really nice soldering skills. My points are always pointing and sharp

[@rubenmejia4881]

Use flux it will fix the pointing problem and make your joints shine ✨️😎

[@stage1]

Just bought 10 and will get more for my collection

[@AtariBorn]

These bad boys are on my list of "must haves" as well. Have a few Phoenixed boards that need to be undone too.

[@godashram]

Just brought my D&D Tower of Doom back to life!!!! Rev 4 board, got it right the 1st time. Easier and faster than trying to phoenix rom it or replace the battery while it's still alive.!!!

[@skeletorment]

I just bought that same board myself. God, it feels great to be an owner for a change!

[@onlydans-thedailyhustle528]

Just saved my Rev7 Marvel Super heroes vs street fighter J with one of these! thanks!

[@ivanminshull8056]

Thanks mate just brought from sneek net top product bro

[@taggounet]

You're my hero.

[@owlnonymous]

Huge thank you for your product!

[@hyp36rmax]

This is great thank you!

[@kentheonlywellmaybedontoo9754]

this is amazing!!! i just did all 5 of my cps2 games! no problems. thank you so much!!! quick question. i have a brazilian shell puzzle fighter. the guts are the USA version. i would need to buy an eprom programmer to change to hispanic correct?? thank you so much. youre a damned genius!

[@lookitskazzy]

Thanks for uploading this, and for producing the Infinikeys. A couple of questions: 1) Do you recommend any specific gauge conductor to use for +5V & GND on Rev 3/4 boards? 2) Are there any long-term concerns from writing the encryption keys on every boot?

[@undamned]

No recommendations on wire gauge. It's all so low current, you should be fine as low as 30awg. InfiniKey is writing to RAM, so nothing to wear out.

[@lookitskazzy]

@@undamned Awesome, thank you for the blazing fast reply! Just installed this on a Rev 4 board (A2/Z2), and I foolishly set the jumpers incorrectly multiple times before I got it correct. First time, I didn't realize the sheet lists the jumpers from 7-0, and then the second time, I used the jumpers for A1... once I got the jumpers correct, I experienced a lot of weird behavior and had to power cycle multiple times before it started working. Everything seems great now! Time to work on my other boards. Will be more careful with the jumper order going forward. Thanks again!

[@nathanjmapp]

Thank you for bringing such a great product to the CAPCOM gaming enthusiasts. I recently purchased 2 INFINIKEYS and am planning to install them soon to my rev 7 boards. I have 2 questions: #1. Can the INFINIKEY be connected to CN9 via a jumper wire on top of the board? #2. I have a DEAD MVC rev 7 board. Is there a way to revive it or should I throw it away? Any help/advice you can give will be appreciated..... Thanks 👍👍👍

[@undamned]

Hey! Yep, you could connect to CN9 using wires to the top of the board. Just be sure to keep the same order of the wires. Regarding your "dead" MVC, in what way is it dead? Was it ever working while in your possession?

[@nathanjmapp]

@@undamned Yes, it was working until it suicided a few years ago. I removed the battery immediately when it did. The reason I mentioned it was a DEAD BOARD is because when I attached it to my working A boards, the fans wouldn't even turn on!!! But when I placed a different suicided B board the fans would operate just fine.

[@undamned]

@@nathanjmapp wow, that's pretty weird that the fan would be affected. I guess, start with the other board and once thats working, do the same procedure to the "dead" one (using appropriate game code on the solder jumpers, of course).

[@BadMouseRM]

Great tutorial! Really helpful! BTW, may I ask what monitor are you using there!? Have a RGB input or something for use the RGBS from the Jamma!?

[@undamned]

It's an Amiga 1080. Nothing really remarkable about it. Just be sure to have something between your JAMMA video and RGB monitor to drop the voltage to an acceptable level.

[@BadMouseRM]

@@undamned Thanks! I research and found about the RGB G and Sync pins but I couldn't found anything about the voltage. How much voltage you dropped? 1 2 VID GND 3 RED 4 GREEN 5 BLUE 6 7 8 SYNC 9

[@8bittoaster]

Fantastic product. I've got 2. Do you happen to have a list of the game codes? I'd like to remove the battery on my X-Men Vs Street Fighter

Pro Gear is going to have a key put in...I gotta admit I am a little nervous.

[@segasonic9117]

Fantastic! I will be installing these in my 14 CPS-II games I own. The board is pricey here, AUD$25 so it will be a few at a time. Any chance of something like this for CPS-I or SYSTEM-16/18/24/32?

[@undamned]

Cool! CPS1 and Kabuki versions are done, I just need to produce them. I've not looked into the Sega stuff yet. No immediate plans for them.

[@segasonic9117]

@@undamned Fantastic! Nice to know there will be a CPS-I option soon! I have 6 dead boards that I bought dead with the intention of fixing. Just never got around to buying the arduino stuff. To have them 100% unaltered AND no battery is just perfect. Too bad the Captain Commando board's C board had already been altered, they just had'nt burnt new ROMs. The Wonder 3 from the same seller had a nastier surprise when I got it, no B-21 chip! C boards are fairly easy to come by thankfully.

[@justsayin4632]

Any timeframe on restocks for both the CPS1 and 2 infinikeys?

[@Technosphile]

Does installing one of these on a phoenixed board restore the factory settings, and circumvent the phoenixing?

[@senorstackpay9150]

Hi undamned, this product looks fantastic. May I ask what make and model number soldering iron you are using for this video?

[@wladimirdalhke1696]

Bom dia amigo aonde eu consigo comprar essa plaquinha infnitykey para minhas cps2 ???

[@arttu76]

My 10 infinikeys arrived today. Amazing stuff, I can finally stop worrying about swapping new batteries into my cps2 boards! This is purely theoretical, but I guess it doesn't matter if you set up game selection jumpers for wrong region/version? Game just doesn't boot because of incorrect key and one can just change the solder pad config and start again? I mean, it's faster that way than dumping the roms and checking them with romident.... Or as the b-board has a big cap for holding the voltage (when changing batteries), does that somehow prevent you from rapidly changing region / infinikey programming a new key into the system? PS. Eagerly waiting for Kabuki/qsound version!

[@undamned]

Wrong key won't hurt anything :) Capacitor does not need discharge. If you tried every key for that title and it still doesn't work, check soldering, etc. If everything else checks out, there's a rare possibility you have an undumped version. Hit me up if you get stuck.

[@arttu76]

Everything is 100% fine, I was just speculating :) All my games are either euro or japanese so there were no surprises with the romsets. Actually some of the mame dumps are from my arcade boards so didn't have that problem either. Thanks again for providing a brilliant product!

[@brandonhann2051]

If we wanted to keep that resistor installed on CN2 for the sake of "just in case," would it cause any issues with the Infinikey?

[@jonathanoliveros5697]

Does this work for the cps2 all in one ?? If so can you explain how to install into the board ?

[@0LycanFX]

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but I just realized you made it possible for a consolized CPS-2 I was wondering where can I get a kit?

[@wladimirdalhke1696]

Por favor amigo, você poderia fazer um vídeo de como faz com a cps2 caixa cor laranja ?

[@mathieunguyen4310]

Hi, fantastic is it possible after install infinity key adn desuicided the B-board to put a new battery and remove the infinity key? best regard

[@undamned]

Yes, that is possible.

[@mathieunguyen4310]

@@undamned i tried And it works ;)

[@goukisama]

I had installed an infinikey on a usa marvel vs capcom. Now I get a diagonal line and miscolored graphics. Any ideas why?

[@undamned]

I've never seen an InfiniKey cause graphics issues. Either it works or it doesn't. You'll have to investigate further as to what other issue is amiss. Could be as simple as A and B board not connected well or dirty JAMMA edge.

[@TITANONEOONE]

Odd thing happened for me Keyed a rev 4 board, worked fine for a few days. Powered it on and white screen again. I opened it up went over a few things and still nothing :(

[@undamned]

If it worked once, that's a good indicator you were headed I the right direction. I would just double check all solder points and make sure they are nice.

[@TITANONEOONE]

undamned thank you! I just thought it was weird that it stopped. I’ll check everything over again

[@dcvmu]

@@TITANONEOONE How did it go? Did you fix it?

[@TITANONEOONE]

dcvmu I went over some areas that I thought may have been suspect but nothing, I’m thinking about pulling it and starting over. I haven’t really had a chance to dive into it lately as I’ve have some other arcade projects I’m trying to finish. I’ve put a key in a X-men vs sf, that has been working perfect for me.

[@wagnerapinheiro]

Hello Undamned I saw the forum and there it says I can buy directly from you. I've created my forum account but it's waiting to be approved. Do you still have those boards for sale? I saw on the links that they are out of stock. Thanks

[@encorempw]

We’re all damned

[@nateruffin1364]

Just got 4 of these Keys and installed 2 but the 2 boards are those "Wild West" type boards...are you still fixing Roms? or know another that can?? please help!

[@undamned]

Best way to ensure you know what's in the program EPROMs is to verify them against the MAME ROMs. I'm told that the "TL866 II Plus" is a good low cost USB device to read them.

[@ArcadesMX]

Hi! Do you know how could i reset the coin, service and free play meters in the test menu on the cps2? Is it possible? I got a japanese SFZ3. Thanks man!. :)

[@undamned]

I've never tried, actually! I'm curious if it's stored in the A or B board, because I believe they both have the ability to store certain settings.

[@goukisama]

Is it possible that if you put the wrong code in that the game will boot but you have wrong colors displayed?

[@undamned]

I don't think so. I've never seen it.

[@0LycanFX]

Any idea when more will be in stock for the US?

[@undamned]

Now!

[@0LycanFX]

​@@undamned , You're the best! [Edit] you may want to change the link

[@goukisama]

Do you have to take the battery off, like can you leave it on?

[@undamned]

Don't leave the battery in. They eventually corrode and permanently damage the game.

[@goukisama]

I understand that but if let's say you leave it on, it wont cause any damage would it?

[@undamned]

@@goukisama Not electrically, no.

[@saulavilas332]

Hi how you installed in mvcversion 7 help

[@AceTrainerX3]

Same as with the Pocket Fighter board he revived.

[@Mike-B-Jackson]

If your board hasn't suicided yet, would this help or hurt collector value? I could see it going either way. On the one hand, the new owner would never have to worry about it, but on the other, it's not 100% original. Thoughts?

[@undamned]

I'm biased of course, but I think it adds a bit of value knowing it is battery free while running 100% original code.

Hello undamned, Do you still sell CPS2 Infinikeys (by 10 if I read well)? If yes, I'd like to buy some from you because I have some games to save. I have sent you a message about that on arcade-projects. Thanks for any reply.

Hello, I have a Street fighter zero 2(mexico) board. I installed the infinikey but the game doesnt boot. The code I used is 10100100. I also try another codes but not work at all

Did you get it to work

Is it "Zero 2" (SZ2) or "Zero 2 Alpha" (SZA)? They use different codes.

Hey 👋 Are you on Klov? & can you do my board?
