• CPS2 suicide overcome: CPS2Shock has done it yet again, and thus dead CPS2 boards can now be brought back to life by simply replacing the program ROMs with a revised version of the game! This is definately good news for all you peeps out there with dead boards lying around I also updated our Game List to include the dead boards in Raz's possesion, as they now should be fully functional. - cyrussd
