Arcade Game: Constant reboot and rom check

Post by KDub »

So I have a T2 Arcade Game that keeps rebooting at random and then does a rom check.

It doesn't do it at the same time/point in the game and sometimes will even do it before starting a game or during the config screens.

When it does the rom check or when I do it all the rom chips turn green so the system says it is fine. I'm thinking it might be a power or ground issue.

Any thoughts?

Definitely sounds like a power supply issue. Can you fit a reliable spare to test it?
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Nah no spares sitting around. I've been tweaking it and I think I may have found the sweet spot, need to get a meter to test and watch that it doesn't get hot.
