Have a nice CC machine here. My wife rules at it - but we notice the high scores (top 3 of course) are not saving between powering. Other settings like difficulty / coinage save.

What should i check first in order to get this thing saving? Thanks for any direction / assistance.

* Put the game into self-test mode. Check the technical manual for details on determining if the EAROM is bad.

* Check the -30V.

* Remove and re-seat the EAROM. Run the self-test again.

* Send to me for repair. :)

CC uses x2212s, not EAROMs, as anyone who repairs them should know.

You're right, my bad. I've been repairing all other Atari titles over the weekend and got stuck in that mode of thinking. :)

Still try self-test mode. IIRC it also saves the bookkeeping info so if you don't see that and/or if self-test fails then one or both of the x2212's are bad. I don't think they come socketed on a stock board, unfortunately.
