openkey-cps2 (inifinikey)

Similar in function to the legendary Infinikey, from undamned/UD-Tech, the openkey-cps2 enables a games decryption keys to be injected on boot without the need for a battery.

openkey-cps2 can also bring back to life suicided games without requiring any modified code.

openkey-cps2 is compatible with all CPS-2 games from any region.

CPS-2 batteries are ticking time bomb that are notorious for leaking and therefore damaging the games PCB.

Removal of batteries are a preventative measure that all CPS-2 game owners should take. There is absolutely zero difference in game function between openkey-cps2 and a live battery.

Our current inventory of openkey-cps2 PCBs are coloured purple. We will rotate the PCB colours every batch. The colour you receive will be at random. If you have a preference of colour, please note this at checkout and we will do out best to fulfill your request if we have any stock on hand.

Information about our manufacturing process: Artisenal small-batch produced in sunny New Zealand by a fellow arcade enthusiast "hatmoose" with the same love care and attention that you have for your boards.

Every Openkey is assembled by hand using top quality parts and equipment from reputable suppliers. The bare boards are sourced from JLCPBC.

Our openkey-cps2 edge holes are made with a castelated hole process - this makes the pins easy to solder and the resulting joins both durable and easy to re-work if you want to resolder or choose to remove and re-use the openkey-cps2 later.

Every part is hand-assembled using top quality Kester 63/37 RA Solder, genuine Amtech (STiRRI) V3-TF flux, and genuine Hakko tools and tips.

Every completed board is visually inspected, indivdually programmed, tested for electrcial QA, then cleaned in a 3-stage ultrasonic process using Electrolube SWAS PCB cleaner, de-ionised water, and Isopropoal alchol. After cleaning every board is dried in a dehydrator and inspected again under UV light to ensure no trace of manufacturing residue remains.
