CPS2 Metal Protective Case/Enclosure.

INSTALL GUIDE - GENERAL - READ BEFORE ORDERING

The Capcom Play System 2, also known as the CPS2, is an incredibly popular arcade platform amongst arcade hobbyists. With the Darksoft MultiKit, real arcade hardware use at home and in tournaments has never been easier. I designed the first CPS2 case years ago to solve a need I had, to put my MultiKit in a nice complete case. The design was simple, clean, and offered an easy way to protect your hardware. In 2020, I officially closed up shop to start on my MBA but the demand for these cases remained. In 2021 I did offer a single run of the cases at the request of a few folks with the addition of a single HDMI passthrough cutout. It was a great success.

What you will receive:  CPS2 Case with basic assembly hardware (See INSTALL GUIDE for DETAILED LIST)

CASE UPDATE 2025.04.05: This new version of the case supports the Link PCB. To do this, we had to move the overall PCB mounting further into the case which recessed the JAMMA edge. If your JAMMA connector has ears - it will not fit onto the PCB, it will be blocked by the case. You can trim those off (carefully at your own risk) and it will fit. Because of the way the comms board fits into the B board, this had to be done to ensure everything could be assembled as easily as possible. Additionally, we created two "support pillars" that you will need to fit under the comms board and screw into. This prevents the board flexing down and holds it in place better. It won't stop it from moving UP though. I intend on solving that in the next interaction of these cases by adding a securing post to the bottom of the case. The Comms Board and overall assembly sits back about 5mm from the edge the case. The next revision will address this as well.

The colors are: Blue Top and Black Bottom. Fitment is TIGHT. Be careful separating the halves so you don't scratch them at the mating points.

Due to the need for MINOR revisions. I have discounted these $20. This discount will not follow through to the next iteration. These are in stock and shipping now.

Previous Case Updates still in effect: Two – 12mm button for the DigitalAV controls. Refined bottom mounting points using metric fasteners and a slightly altered layout due to some fitment issues brought up. (I bought a second CPS2 A board to measure and averaged the two I have to finalize the mounting points).
