The CP System (CPシステム, shīpī shisutemu, CPS for short) is an arcade system board developed by Capcom that ran game software stored on removable daughterboards. More than two dozen arcade titles were released for CPS-1, before Capcom shifted game development over to its successor, the CP System II.

Among the 33 titles released for the original CP System included Street Fighter II: The World Warrior and its first two follow-ups, Street Fighter II: Champion Edition and Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting.

History[edit]

CP System's 10 MHz 68000 CPU and graphics IC

After a number of arcade game boards designed to run only one game, Capcom embarked upon a project to produce a system board that could be used to run multiple games, in order to reduce hardware costs and make the system more appealing to arcade operators.

Capcom had been developing the hardware for about two-and-a-half years (since about 1985 or 1986), during which time they developed two custom microchips that they called the super chips, equivalent to the power of ten normal arcade printed circuit boards at the time. The two chips cost £5.5 million or $9,783,515 (equivalent to $21,000,000 in 2020) to develop.[1]

The system was plagued by many bootleg versions of its games. In particular, there were so many bootleg versions of Street Fighter II that they were more common in some countries than the official version. This problem was virtually eliminated by Capcom in the later CP System II.

The CP System hardware was also utilized in Capcom's unsuccessful attempt at home console market penetration, the CPS Changer, a domestic version of the CP System similar to the Neo-Geo AES.

A year before releasing the CP System II, Capcom released an enhanced version of the original CP System dubbed the CP System Dash, which had some features that would later be used in the CP System II, such as the QSound chips.

The CP System Dash boards have four interlocking PCBs and are contained in gray plastic boxes. To combat piracy, 'suicide batteries' were implemented, which power the volatile RAM which contained the manual configuration of the display hardware registers, as well as the priorities registers. The CPS-1 Dash 68000 code is not encrypted at all. If the batteries' voltage should drop below +2V, the registers manually defined in factory by Capcom in RAM would be lost, and the PPU would no longer have access to the hardware specific register set on the game used, rendering the game inoperable, and necessitating the operator sending the board to Capcom to be fixed, at their own expense. Unlike the CP System II, CP System Dash sound ROMs were encrypted using 'Kabuki' Z80s.

Capcom Power System Changer[edit]

Cps

A home version of the CP System, the Capcom Power System Changer or CPS Changer was released in late 1994 in Japan to compete against SNK's Neo Geo.[4] Capcom released the CPS Changer as an attempt to sell their arcade games in a home-friendly format. The CPS Changer adapter was basically an encased SuperGun (Television JAMMA adapter), and was compatible with most JAMMA standard PCBs. Capcom's 'protection' against people using the CPS Changer on other arcade boards was the physical shape of the device. On a normal JAMMA PCB it would not attach firmly and tended to lean at odd angles, but it would work. The CPS Changer has outputs for composite video, S-video and line-level mono audio.

The CPS Changer featured Super Famicom controller ports, allowing the use of all Super NES controllers, including their six-button joystick, the 'CPS Fighter'.

All of the CPS Changer games used the CPS arcade hardware. The CPS Changer games were simply arcade PCBs in a special plastic shell suitable for home use. This concept was later re-used in the CP System II hardware. Some CPS1 games were changed slightly for home release, sometimes including debugging features or other easter eggs.[citation needed]

The CPS Changer was sold as a package deal of the console itself, one CPS Fighter joystick controller, and the Street Fighter II ′ (Dash) Turbo game for 39,800 yen. Additional games were sold for about 20,000 yen.

The final game for the CPS Changer was a back-ported version of Street Fighter Zero. Originally released on the CP System II hardware, this special CPS Changer version, released at a premium 35,000 yen, was degraded slightly for the older hardware: it had fewer frames of animation for the game characters, fewer onscreen colors[citation needed], and the sound and music effects were sampled at a lower rate.

Cyber Security for Critical Infrastructure

SCALABLE has developed a high-fidelity network emulator, EXata CPS, to simulate the underlying communication fabric of electrical grids and test the cyber resilience of such systems. EXata CPS is integrated with OPAL-RT’s HYPERSIM simulator on the same hardware (or box) to offer a complete real-time cyber-physical solution for the development, testing, and assessment of electrical grids with communication networks. HYPERSIM, which simulates the physical system, is the only real-time digital simulator with the power to simulate electromagnetic transients of large-scale power systems, tackling operational and reliability issues threatening a power system’s cybersecurity. This integration of EXata CPS and HYPERSIM provides a means to test the resilience of power systems to cyber attacks and improve their cyber defenses, thereby helping to ensure cybersecurity, reliability, and efficiency of such systems.

Since EXata CPS and HYPERSIM reside on the same box, they can employ low-latency communications at Layer 2 (MAC or link layer) to analyze cyber threats that can be injected at these lower layers in the physical system. An example is an attack on a power grid control system that modifies sensor messages to the controller, reporting less power than is actually available, leading the controller to shed power by stopping service to some residential consumers. Another example is an attack that delays a message from a controller to an actuator to shut down a generator, possibly leading to overloading and hence damaging parts of the grid. EXata CPS provides a means to more effectively identify and visualize the impact of cyber attacks on monitoring and control systems used by power systems. With EXata CPS, specific environments can be replicated in a lab, and “what if” scenarios can be quickly evaluated to determine what happens to power systems if they are subjected to cyber-attacks.

Ensure the Resilience of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS)

EXata for Cyber-Physical Systems (EXata CPS) supports the creation of network digital twins to improve the efficiency of their infrastructure systems while advancing the reliability of their grid. EXata CPS integrates with OPAL-RT power simulators to allow synchronized emulation of communication systems and power grid components.

  • Assess the effectiveness of tools, techniques, and architectures to protect SCADA systems from diverse cyber threats
  • Analyze and visualize network state and attacks without threatening operations
  • Measure and improve system resiliency and mission assurance

Innovative SCADA Cybersecurity Training Using Network Digital Twins

Explore our unique solution for protecting Critical Infrastructure using EXata for Cyber-Physical Systems (EXata CPS), and our Network Defense Trainer (NDT). NDT leverages EXata CPS network modeling capabilities and provides additional capabilities to identify and log human actions, correlating those actions with cyber-attack progression, network performance, and cyber-physical system behavior.

  • The impact of cyber-attacks on critical SCADA operations
  • How can we predict the complex interactions between cyber-attacks, defensive actions, and Cyber-Physical Systems?
  • How do we safely train operators to prevent or contain cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure?

Benefits of EXata CPS

EXata CPS provides a means to more effectively identify and visualize the impact of cyber attacks on monitoring and control systems used by power systems. With EXata CPS, specific environments can be replicated in a lab, and “what if” scenarios can be quickly evaluated to determine what happens to power systems if they are subjected to cyber attacks.

EXata CPS leverages SCALABLE’s EXata simulation/emulation software, to create software models of all types of communication networks. The models are then used to study the performance of networks under different operational conditions to identify and find solutions to potential problems and to investigate the resiliency of the network to cyber threats. The models are comprised of nodes representing network elements and endpoints (routers, switches, radios, sensors, PCs, servers, firewalls, and other security equipment) and the links that connect the nodes (buses, LAN segments, radio transmissions, Wi-Fi signals, LTE connections, etc.). Hardware elements (live or simulated by HYPERSIM) can be integrated into the EXata CPS emulation by means of the system-in-the loop capability. Since EXata CPS employs an efficient kernel designed to leverage multi-core and parallel processors to dramatically increase the event processing rate and hence simulation execution speeds, it can run emulations of networks comprised of thousands of nodes at realtime speeds with real-world high fidelity.

  • Integration of emulated network with equipment and physical system dynamics simulation.
  • Packet-level emulation to predict system behavior under attack.
  • Scalability to represent the entire network while respecting timing constraints.
  • Run ‘what-if’ scenarios of control systems under cyber-attack without threatening operations.

• Assess the effectiveness of tools, techniques, and architectures to ensure system availability.
• Measure and improve system resiliency, and develop plans to mitigate risks from cyber attacks.
• Packaging of EXata CPS and HYPERSIM in the same box enables fast communication at Layer 2, ensuring that the timing constraints of the overall system can be met.
