    Saturn + 4MB RAM cart can do the same and more.

        what e-celebs?
        *check my own copies of vampire Savior and SFA3 on Saturn and then compare them to my actual CPS2 in Astrocity cab*
        Yup, it can do the same thing. Plus other stuff like ST-V games.

          Saturn cant output the originals horizontal resolution, 384x224 vs 352x224.

            And the CPS-2 can't play Radiant Silvergun or Real Bout Special.
            I'll trade a few extra pixels on the sides of the screen for being able to play games from other companies that aren't Capcom.
            But yeah, Capcom made the most amazing arcade ports for the Saturn.
            Not to mention, games like Vampire Savior are virtually arcade perfect (no cut frames, no load times) AND has the extra characters from Vampire Hunter.

              Yeah but none of that has anything do do with the point you made, it can’t do the same thing.

                Fine anon, fine. I'll help you a bit: the sound is also a bit different.
                But, these nitpicks are virtually non-important when the Saturn (with the extra RAM) can do virtually perfect ports with no missing frames of animation and no loading times, both way more important than a few pixels of difference or small sound differences.

    No. MVS is.

      This. With the AES included, the value and quality are truly astounding. An AES can use an adapter to play MVS carts, so you figure a $500(about $1100 current dorrar) system to play commercial arcade games is an amazing thing. At that same time, idiots and dolts were paying $1500 for IBM/Apple PCs just to design shitty spreadsheets with and play shitty games on.
      TONS of great arcade games to play on the system.

      CPS2 is a very close second. If Capcom had made a home version of the CPS1 and 2, it could match the MVS/AES.

        There is a home version thing for it. Is very rare. You can use snes controllers with it I think

          They tried:
          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP_System#Capcom_Power_System_Changer

          CPS Changer Alpha 1 is neat. It was basically the last CPS1 game. The soundtrack was redone in FM.

          Another good FM remix of a CPS2 game is the X68000 port of Super Street Fighter 2.

          It's a shame that the Genesis port of SSF2 had such an awful soundtrack. The hardware was capable of much more.

    Greatest arcade hardware is, and always will be, The Addams Family pinball machine.

    Is talking about arcade hardware as though they're consoles (for another sort of fruitless online console wars debates) a newer thing?
