Does Capcom of Japan still revive dead CPS3 security carts?

[CPS2]

New Gen updated. Anyone tried it yet?

Yep, I get a black screen after the title screen. Pressing start and just leaving it in attract mode.

New version of new gen is out (Update 3)

Same Ryu vs Elana freeze bug on first CPU match

Before I **** up my 2nd impact cart, can I just check.

I've got version D.
I just need to desolder the battery, since I have no wires.

[richy13]

Yes just desolder the battery and your good to go!

Thanks man.

I need to check on that too actually, idc did mine and added a wire to make the battery swap easier next time, I'll have to ask him if it's easy to do

kernow, if you want to purposely zombify your cart, just remove the battery. You can then either remove the black wire entirely or otherwise reattach it to the negative terminal where the battery was. You should leave the red and blue wires in place. The black and grey wires do the same thing, so you need to leave at least one of them in place.

For those with unmodified Tornade carts, just remove the battery, then make sure that the black wire is reattached to the negative terminal once the battery is gone. You won't need to touch the red and blue wires.

For those with normal, CP SYSTEM III (non-Tornade) carts without the extra wires and little PCB, just simply remove the battery.

Regardless of what type of 2i cart you have, leave the soldering iron at home and just wiggle the battery to snap the tags. Job done.

If a job worth doing....

[cools]

Does nobody have wire cutters on this forum?

[Spectre]

Makes absoluely sod all difference if you desolder, so why bother? In fact it's no doubt a riskier process.

You could use cutters, but that means opening the toolbox...

[richy13]

You can't just cut the leads on "this" type of battery it's not like the normal cps2 type,the leads are square and can damage the surface of the cartridge pcb on the parts side if you just roll it off.

only take 2 mins to do it properly

[Spectre]

Cobblers, just do it carefully. Mine is fine.

It might well be, but what worked for you, might not for someone else. If Richy13 is suggesting it's risky, then I would take him at his word. As he said, it takes 2 mins to desolder a battery. Saftey first

[cools]

E first.

I'm not doubting richy's expertise when it comes to all things capcom and I agree with you, what works for one might well not work for another. For example, some charlie might end up with a stray blob of solder somewhere which damages a component, or could overheat the battery terminals and cause damage etc.

Do whatever works for you, I'm just suggesting an alternative. For me personally, just clipping the battery off is quicker, easier and totally safe unless you're an utter cack-handed larry. If you are an utter cack-handed larry, I wouldn't recomend touching a soldering iron either.

So yeah, nobody called charlie or larry should attempt to remove a battery from anything ever, by any means.

New Gen seems fixed. (Update 5)

From what I can see, works perfectly - battery free cart now too

[richy13]

Update 5 is perfect not seen one bug or any freezing at all
