got a pair of linked Daytona USA sitdown twins at my family's arcade that every 3 months or so will start to tweak out with garbage on one screen, and I guess cause they're linked it messes the other one up too.
I've replaced both power supplies on these, as I used to have even more problems prior to changing them out, but my first plan of attack when this problem comes up now is to press down on the roms and on each board about 7 or 8 chips will actually make the cruuuuuunch sound.
I guess the question is are these games more succeptible to chip creep from all the little mutant kids jumping in and out of the seats all the time and creating so much shock, or am I looking at having to pop every chip out and clean the legs? (probably should do this anyway, but my bandaid seems to be working fine for now and I got gobs of other shit to do all the time, by myself)
it's worth noting that I've broken down both boardsets and cleaned them already, and I cover the cage with a piece of posterboard between the 2 floor panels so garbage (how??) and dust/dirt doesn't get in anymore.
