Woah, interesting, I didn't know much about arcade tech so I had no idea you could go without the cab itself. Then again, that's half the fun, so who knows. On the other hand, for some reason I'm pathetic with a joystick.
Unrelatedly, I'm glad you have Contra Densetsu linked, I just used that today when some friends and I were trying to remember whether Super Contra was in fact on Super Famicom when, counterintuitively, it actually wasn't. Contra Spirits forever.

Wow looks nice Is that thing compatible with CPS-I board? Have you tried it? The site seems pretty old, are they still in business?
This thing looks practical, but I won't get the true RGB colors of the arcade on a TV. And If I use this thing I need to get the extra monitor (which looks awesome), even though its very expensive, I would get it. BTW, whats a supergun?

The Supernova is a "Supergun"; they are... essentially the guts of a cab in a box to which you can hook up PCBs and your T.V. A real space saver to us arcade collectors who lack lots of space. Anyway, to answer your other questions in order:
1.)Yes, CPS-1 boards work on it, and it has pre-wired kick harnesses that are compatible with CPS-1(at least the two I have, no two are exactly alike, admittedly). Any JAMMA compatible board will work on it.
2.)Yes, I own two of them, although the one is in "cold storage" right now.
3.) They really should still be in business, a lot of tourneygoers buy sticks from them. Call them up and ask them yourself. Don't be surprised if it is some old woman and there are babies crying in the background; that's normal for them.

quote: What, whats the problem with the CPS-3 board?
They are total crap. Poorly constructed, tempermental, and unlike with the CPS-2, there is no known way to bypass the suicide battery, so unless you accurately predict when one is going to die and replace it in time (which is quite dangerous, needs to be done while the system is powered up and there are all kinds of other risks, like the battery exploding) the game will die and there is no way to fix it; the cart is "erased", it's essentially a blank game cart. Buh, Capcom and its suicide batteries... Most shameless money-grabbing attempt by a company that makes arcade games until the "Arcana Hearts" disaster... actually, I think the suicide batteries are still a lot worse.
