This project aims to reproduce the CAT702 security chip as found on the ZN-2 arcade board. It uses an FPGA chip.
This is a side project from the CPS reverse engineering project where the goal was to reverse also the multiple custom chips on those arcade boards.
As part of the FGC, I was confronted at the input lag problem in games and decided to conduct my own research on the topic. This eventually lead to the creation of the website inputlag.science which compiled all the results of this research.
The dream goal of this project is to lay out the full schematics of all the CPS2 arcade boards. For years, CPS2 held its secrets but it has prevented arcade collectors to preserve their board in their prime glory.
