Just picked up an Asteroids and the game plays at about 2x normal speed.
It has PROMS on it, so it's not an upgrade (unless the factory had a speed up hack). I looked for hardware hacks and didn't see anything. So at this point I'm thinking it's a PCB fault.
It appears that it's been fixed before, so maybe one of the components that they replaced, failed again...
I replaced C4 (it was one of the chips that had been replaced prior) and it didn't change. I'll probably swap B4 out as well and see if anything changes.
Any other Ideas on where to look? Could C5 cause this behavior?
Thanks!
