My Asteroids Deluxe wasn't storing high scores very well. When I brought it back to life, it occationally seemed to store a high score but then it also seemed to wipe them out. Even when it appeared to work, it never stored more than 1 high score.
I looked at the schematic and saw that C49 and C50, which are 1uf 50V radial caps, plays an important part in the high score process. I ordered 2 of these from Bob. They arrived yesterday...
I just replaced these two caps, played a few games, got a high score, powered off the game.... powered it back on and the score was saved!
I'm hopeful the problem is fixed. I'll need to give it a little more time to ensure the scores don't go away.
Hope this is helpful to someone...
