CPS2 goings...

We've tried to stay out of the CPS2 situation going on and I'm sure most of you are sick of hearing about it, but as a news site we're obligated to keep everyone up to date, so here's the latest:
  • Final Burn: Yes, as of v0.97 Final Burn no longer supports CPS2 games. The author has not released any statements regarding the change, so one can only assume he's focusing on what Final Burn was originally intended to do...emulate After Burner hardware.
  • CPS2Shock: Razoola (the guy who decrypts the CPS2 roms) has made a statement on his site denying any involvement in commercializing the release of the decryption files. He states "If this third party had rights to sell CPS-2 games why do they need me to decrypt them?".
Above all, what we're seeing is nothing new...same thing happened when NESticle, Snes9x, and UltraHLE appeared.
