Hello, everybody.

I was testing some of my PCB's, and I tried my Street Fighter 3: New Generation CPS3 cart, and this is what I got:

Is this what a dead CPS3 cart screen looks like, or could there be something else wrong here?

I appreciate any assistance in the matter. Thank you.

I'd guess you'd have to start playing and not hoarding :(

A moment of silence for the passing of SF3.

Honest to god, I really loved NG. I thought it was well done... that is one series that just kept on getting better. Wow.

Sorry for your loss. Good news is, that's a fairly inexpensive game to replace.

PS: PM me damn it !

Agreed, totally.

If there was any SF3 game I'd want it'd be SF3 NG , as that was how capcom originally wanted SF3, apart from Ryu and Ken being added last minute. I love that game and will definitely own it some day, its far better than 3S in 1p too. 3S is only good if you have a bunch of friends around ready to play versus.

See bibs, instead of just hoarding this it could have been in my cab being played and adored. :mad:

time to change all of your CPS3 batteries!

When is this encryption going to be defeated?? I can't wait for the day CPS3 universal carts exist, allowing you to play any game.

That time passed,

No one will make hardware that will run directly with a CPS3 unit.

If there is arcade piracy, it'll be on Mame.

Bullshit. It was only recently the CPS1 multi-game boards were brought out.

Totally disagree. Look at CPS1 and 2! 3, dare I say it, has even more appeal because of one of the greatest fighters of all time is on delicate hardware. There WILL be a fix.

(god, let there be a fix)

If anyone can do it, the chinese can. At the very least, it would be nice if the dead carts could be reprogrammed. I believe that CPS2 games can already be reprogrammed by certain individuals other than capcom, but it's been kept a secret.

Playing games devalues them and can cause scratches on the case and definitely on the edge connector. Games are best kept sealed in a humidity and temperature controlled room that is free of sunlight that can possibly fade labels or cause yellowing of plastic. What do you think games are for? Fun? :hammer:

CPS3

I have a dead new generation does anyone repair these? or is it just the 3rd strikes that can be repaired by Capcom Japan.
