I have this weird issue with my Food Fight machine where if I score higher than 200k it erases all of my high scores and boots with the NVRAM high scores failure.

I've replaced the ARII board due to initial problems I had with the cabinet. I'm pretty certain that the current set-up is solid...just this odd high score thing. I'm not certain as to why the actual score would matter, unless it simply hits some different memory space that is faulty...but that really doesn't make sense. Regardless I can get really consistent results when testing the issue.

The guys who sold me the machine replaced the ram...at least they said they replaced the ram after I sent the board back to them. That's where we got into swapping the ARII boards, for which I now have 3 (long story), cause they felt the voltage may be too low.

I'm curious if anyone else has experienced an issue like this. Additionally I'm not sure how I could test to see if the memory is functional or if it's something else. I was told by people on the forum that I should replace the edge connector, which I purchased a new one...but I'm a bit timid to rip it all apart because I fear the wires are too old and if I jack it up, I'm dead in the water :). I may just have to grow a pair :).

Anyway...I'd love your feedback. Thanks again!
