Fabien Sanglard's The Book of CP-System

Unread post by pva »

While not strictly related to MiSTer (except through Jotego's excellent core), many might find Fabien Sanglard's (of Game Engine Black Book: DOOM fame) new book (and SDK) on the CPS-1 interesting. I know I certainly do!
If you want to learn about the hardware powering titles such as Street Fighter II, Ghouls’n Ghosts, or Final Fight, then "The Book of CP-System" is for you. Inside you will find the "Capcom System" (a.k.a CPS-1) explained in excruciating details, along more than one hundred explanatory drawings. The software is also covered with the description of the historical way of doing things and as well as a modern toolchain (CCPS).

I like how the book is under an open source license.

Not sure if this was posted here before. This is a pretty extensive technical book about the Capcom CP arcade machines, with lots of images and diagrams. Looks interesting to anyone who wants to know about the architecture and capabilities of this hardware. Freely downloadable, donate if it has value to you.
