Not All BB3 games will work in a BB2 with a BB3 CPU board. I believe the size of the monitor becomes an issue at some point.

If you have a BB2e (with the emotive lighting) you should be good to go. If you dont have the emot lighting you can use jumpers or just get lightning kit for the cab. Best upgrade ive done! Even works with BB2 games that run on OS 13

You need the bb3 power cable and a cpunxt 3.x mpu. That's really all you need to replace to get it going, since you already have a bb2e which has the emotive controller.

You cannot play bb2 games on a bb3 mpu.  People do the upgrade to play the newer games.  I wouldn't say they are better than the bb2 games, just different.  People's gaming preferences have changed over years, and the newer themes reflect that.  If you like lower volatility, bb2 games are better.  If you likie high volatility bb3 games are better.

Edid emulators are awesome.

They do work, But I found the Illinois game chest  games to be stripped down versions of the originals. I wasn't impressed with it.

All game chest versions of games are stripped down versions of full versions. They do it to shrink games down to fit more on. Ill gc is also a lottery tho so it also has denomination limitations.
