Seems just before an announcement the Capcom Japan website has a SF Teaser Trailer up. With the obvious ink effects shown from Street Fighter 4. On the bottom is 2009.09.29 1700hrs JST.

Capcom Japan

After a few weeks of cleaning, adding in some custom wiring, and deciding on a Egret II color themed Control Panel here are the fruits on my labor.

Got a CPS III system coming my way with SFIII Giant Attack. The Security cart has never had its battery replaced but it still working.

For those that aren't familar with CPS III. Alot of people usually stay away from these. There is a lithium battery inside each game cart that holds the encryption coding to the custom processor. If that battery dies, the encryption is lost and can not be recovered at all. This means you are left with a dead game and at this time can't even be revived.

Capcom Coin-Op is no longer. The company that bought them doesnt have the machine anymore to redo the carts. Apparently some guy, former Capcom Coin-Op or Betson has this machine and will not recover carts. However you can apparently buy the machine off him for $1M US....

This motherboard also has enough Simms (memory) to run 3rd Strike as well. I might attempt to replace the battery in the security cart, however to do this you need to have voltage applied while desoldering the old battery and replacing it. If voltage is removed in anyway or period of time. Congrats! you have a suicided cart.

Gotta love Capcom encryption... This was used so no one could make bootlegs of the CPS III games back in the day, however also is a ticking time bomb to kill CPS III down the road. One of my friends has 15 dead 3rd Strike Carts just sitting there in a pile. Just sucks for us Arcade Preservationists that are trying to keep original hardware games alive and running.

Got a Taito Egret II otw from the west coast.
