My MegaMan 3 Tiger Handheld just bit the dust. I was hearing this errant squealing throughout the day... it seems it was my MegaMan 3. I did not have it powered on, but obviously something failed as it was getting current from the batteries while off and replacing the batteries didn't fix it. It's dead.
Opening it up was a worse idea. I knew when I originally got it that someone had spilled something on it (I suspect Coca Cola), but I was able to clean up the innards and it worked fine. However, the corrosion seems to have done it in in the end. The wires just snapped off of their solder points.
So my plan was to by another one and just ship it off to someone associated at the MAME team so it can be permanently preserved. It's truly not a bad game and I would much rather have it in MAME permanently than just buy another copy for myself. If anyone can let me know, I'd appreciate it. I know it was Sean Riddle who was doing this, but I'm not sure how back logged he is or how much real life he has going on.
