Capcom didn't want this stuff emulated or bootlegged. They did a DAMN good job. Problem is, it was too good of a job. I have two mother boards that I gave to one of the members here. The number of motherboards to security carts gets bigger every day. Thank god they only made six games on here. Can you imagine if they made more games that people wanted on this thing? Sure, the games on it are nice, but this is a third strike hardware. Thank god they didn't make SF4 or MvsC2 on here. Everyone here should know now the woes that I am going through to get a third strike set up in my house working. They're just a real fragile piece of equipment.
The cart is dead because of the battery, and as of now, nobody can fix it. I'm sorry to say that the day this IS emulated will mean the day that we can bring all these dead carts back to life. I can't wait for that day, to be honest. It's taking far too long.
