60-in-1 Phoenix High Score Save - Not All Multis Equal?
So, I just ordered a new 60-in-1 for a multi project I've been working on. I have another cabinet at home, which is for my own personal use that also has a 60-in-1. Both boards were of the "B" quality, and look close to the same. A few months ago I noticed that Phoenix on the 60-in-1 had a series of "?????????" where the HS is supposed to be. I had played it many times and never was able to replace the question marks with high scores.
So today when I got my new 60-in-1 installed, I decided to give Phoenix a go. I noticed upon hitting the P1 button, that there were no question marks in the High Score area, it was just a series of 00000s. So I put up a measly high score, and the game exited like usual and I then played it again to see my High Score saved. I cut off the power and rebooted the game, and there was my high score saved.
Concerning my original board, I have the High Score saved dip switch "3" on, and every other game saves my high score but Phoenix. These boards were purchased only several months apart. I know that the PCB's are made by several different companies too. So anybody else notice this? Is there something I'm doing wrong? I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but it sort of irritates me. I know I could just switch out the boards, and keep the one that saves the scores, but I have a lot of scores on all the other games that I want to keep.
I figured I'd just give a heads up to others, or see if anyone else has the same problem. I've not seen this really discussed before, and thought I'd start a thread about it.
