Yesterday, installed the Donkey Kong board I got for Christmas in my DK Junior cab.
I had the game on for several hours with no problems. Toward the end of the day I started up a game and had sound but no Mario, barrels, or Pauline. I could hear that Mario was moving around when I moved the joystick and I could hear invisible Mario die when hit with an invisible barrel.
I of course crapped my pants when this happened. Once I regained my composure I unplugged the game, plugged it back in, and everything was okay again.
Did this ever happen to anybody else?
This obviously isn't good and I imagine I'll eventually have to replace some ROMS on the board. Mike at Mike's arcade has some info about this, so that's good.
Another question. The High Score save kit has diagnostics with it. Would these diagnostics help me determine exactly which rom I need to replace when the time comes?
