Hi, New to the forum. I just picked up a TMNT arcade to start what already seems like its going to be a new hobby for me.
Anyway, the machine I bought works well unless there are 4 players playing. It seems when all four are playing that the machine will lag, sometimes alot. This especially seems to happen on later boards in the game.
I've a couple of thoughts, and I thought I might run them by everyone to see what they say.
Thought 1) The game dip switches have it set on the hardest setting. I wonder if perhaps the CPU just cant keep up with 4 turtles, and all the baddies that show up for 4 turtles on "very difficult" setting?
Thought 2) The game board is really old. Perhaps it has lost some speed in the last 20 years and no longer can keep up but used to be able to?
Thought 3) The game board is getting warm, and thus slowing things down. (Kind of like my laptop does when it gets hot? )
Anyone have any other input? Id really like NOT to turn the difficulty down. Ive thought about rigging up a fan to blow on the board to keep it cool? (If its getting hot... I've no idea if it is or not)
Any other input? Ive noticed the sound gets kind of choppy when the game slows down too.
Thanks everyone!
