CPS3 now Suicide Free!!

Not really suicide free. It was found that the 2nd Impact carts never actually suicide due to an error on Capcom's part.

Darksoft released a tool that allowed working carts to play any game using a modified CD iso. It can be confusing. It doesn't let you play 2nd impact and does not work using working 2i carts for the same reason that 2i carts don't suicide. We are waiting for Darksoft to release his new tool that works with 2i carts.

Then essentially, any cart could be converted to 2i and then play any game. 3rd strike would take an extra step because it uses more memory than 2i.

Still a ways off before the carts are actually suicide free. It's being worked on but I think is at a standstill.

Thanks for elaborating Jeremy! I was confused. So with any cart besides a 2i cart you can convert it to work with any CPS3 game besides third strike?
 
I'm waiting for that Christmas present. I've a bunch of dead carts...
 
I will have a full CPS3 w/ 3S capacity memory on a 3S US cart set FS.
I have a spare that died on me after I got it revived in the Asian version... Sigh....

This fix is especially for people like me... that had 2 3S carts die on me in one day from a weird short...
 
Wow... Welcome to months ago... there's another thread on this subject somewhere.
 
Here are three... yes... three threads about CPS3 encryption.

Decisions, decisions...

To merge, or not to merge: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of multiple posting,
Or to take arms against a sea of duplicates,
And by merging end them? To delete: to lock;
No more; and by a lock to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That posting is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To delete, to lock;
To lock: perchance to close: ay, there's the rub;
For in that lock of death what posts may come
When we have shuffled off this web-based forum,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of KLOV,
The poster's wrong, the troll man's contumely,
The pangs of despised words, the mod's delay,
The insolence of replies and the spurns
That patient merit of the noobs takes,
When he himself might his postings make
With a cool story bro? who would Pac Jr. bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary thread,
But that the dread of something after 404,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No troll returns, puzzles the forums
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than dogpile to others that we know not of?
Thus internet does make bravado of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great post and picture
With this regard their replies turn awry,
And lose the name of action. - Soft you now!
The fair Josie! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my posts remember'd.

Wow, thanks Darksoft for posting this! I can assume that 2nd impact carts are going to explode in price? :D

In your video I see you showing NG, when do you think 3rd strike will be running?

Do you have a list of games these are for?

Darksoft has made ISOs for each game (except JoJo's Venture) that allows you to run them on a Street Fighter III - 2nd Impact Cart. The conversions of Street Fighter II - New Generation and Street Fighter III - 3rd Strike appear to be 100% working, the Red Earth and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure are still in testing.
