Good question. No, it does not happen at the exact same time. It's something I observed happening on both machines individually.

96-in-1 may not be a bad solution. Thought $145 is more than I'm hoping to spend. I guess it's because I really don't want all those other variants. Though if you can boot straight to a single one like Bjk mentions, that could work. All that said if there was just a save hi-scores kit for $40...

Haha...yes

Are all the ROMs properly seated? Have you tried pulling them, gently cleaning the tips with a pencil eraser, and reseating them in place?

Slight "hiccup" (momentary flicker) on monitor I have two games - NBA Jam and Ms Pacman - both plugged into the same basic powertap and they're both experiencing an intermittent issue. During play, the monitors on both machines seems to "hiccup" occasionally. That is, the image seems to breathe...

Scucci, thanks for the info! Too bad that kit got discontinued, I'd totally buy it as well.

I just got a beautiful Ms Pacman cab and am very excited about it. It's in great shape and my technical question is more of a want than a need. What I'm wondering about is finding an easy method to retain high scores in memory, so that when I shut the machine off (which I do every night) it can...

Great, thanks so much. Hopefully this will solve the issue once and for all!

Need help cleaning a JAMMA board and reseating ROMs I've been having some trouble with my NBA Jam (see this thread) and I want to give my board a full once-over. I plan to take out the main board and clean the edge connectors with a pencil eraser, and then I want to reseat and clean all the...

Heh, I have a black w/ white stripe, red w/ white stripe, tan, and white. Go figure.

It's happening again :( I thought I was out of the woods but the issue seems to be back. It's not as bad as it was before - now, it's just quickly flickering and then reseting. I'm going to try pressing down on the ROMs again, but I wonder if there's anything else I can do? The CPU diag checks...

I did this and it seems to have helped! This morning when I turned on the machine it went straight to the flickering. I did what you mentioned just now and was able to play 3 games so far with no issue. It's on attract right now, hopefully it lasts! I wasn't sure if it would work because the...

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction with a crash I'm having with my NBA Jam cabinet. It's not an official Midway cab, but it's fairly well built. Here's the problem: During play (or more typically, a few seconds after turning the machine on) the screen will begin to flicker...
