ya know there really are alot of people on SRK who have alot of information to share regarding this sort of thing and frankly, the guys over at BYOAC in my personal experience know more about MAME and classic games then they do this sort of hardware. Honestly BYOAC would be the last place I would look to get help with this kind of thing. For general stuff dealing with monitors and wiring, sure. But for questions with specific hardware, especially later generation hardware, no way. And to imply that he should do away with the CPS3 set up, buy a computer and run MAME is…well…hurt. No offense.
Agreed, I’m sure there are plenty of people here who can offer sound advice, I myself own and have had experience with several CPS-III setups and have a collection of arcade boards.
Even though all the boards I have can be played via emulation (exept for Hyper Neo Geo) you still can’t beat the real thing. !
YYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
And like Gill coming back from a resurrection, my Third Strike works again!!! With UNBLOCKABLES intact.
After being depressed all day yesterday. I turned off my machine and called it a day. I went to work and when I came back home late in the afternoon I turned on my machine again and magically the disc began loading up and began rewriting the game until it was 100%. I sat and waited for 50 minutes making sure that it wouldn’t say ERROR.
I don’t know how it started to work again but it did. My theory is that I had it turned off since last night until the next afternoon. I think having it turned off for a while and resting it helped. When I turned it on it just started rewriting until it was 100%. It seemed like a miracle.
Well thank you guys for all your support. I don’t care what they say SRK is the best. I rather get my info here than anywhere else.
So I hope y’all learn from my CPS-3 experiences so that you yourself won’t get into the problems I do. Here is some information that I want to give you when it comes to the CPS-3 Third Strike.
Version 1 (Unblockables)
over the Third Strike Title when you boot it up: 990512
CD number: CAP-33S0A0 (Double check this number on the CD I’m not fully certain but I think its right. The CD is in the machine and I am not taking it out ever)
Version 2 (No Unblockables)
over the Third Strike Title when you boot it up: 990608
CD number: CAP-33S000 (I’m sure this is right I’m copying off the CD right now)
Could someone out there hurry up and phoenix this board so that I could relax. Thanks again guys. Take care.
cool man, glad to hear it. Enjoy those booger unblockables!
Hah nice one. This site might be of interest to you - they will renew the battery on your CPS-III so you can relax for another few years, haven’t used them myself but might be worth a look! (They charge 30 Euro for the privelage which is about $45)
Does any body know why the backgrounds in Third Strike suck compared to the ones in 2nd Impact and the first Street Fighter III? I mean in the first two III’s each character had their own background and they were beautifully detailed. In Third Strike, however, some characters like, alex and ken, sean and oro, 12 and necro share backgrounds. Ibuki’s background is boring. So is Elena’s. The backgrounds in third are not as detailed as they were in the first two. They are far more inferior than the ones in NG and 2I. Remember how great Alex’s stage was in NG and how detailed Elena’s stage was in 2I.
I’m guessing that this is a technical question. I think that because Capcom spend so much time creating new sprites and frames for the new characters (look it how detailed 12 is) that they ran out of memory in the CPS-3 when it came to making new backgrounds. That’s why the background aren’t as imaginative and that’s why a lot of characters share backgrounds.
What do you guys think?
Consider that 3rd Strike is literally twice as big as 2nd Impact.
I am running cps3 on my laptop and i was wondering why i had to delete the nvdata file everytime i want to get the cps3.exe to boot. is there a way around this or do i have to just deal with it. i have the cps3 v1.0a
Necro thread fail. Notice how no one in here is talking about emulation? Please make a new thread.
