Anyone care to hazard a guess as to what my NBA Jam problem might be?
Getting weird intermittent problems.
Tonight when I fired up NBA Jam, the game made a weird buzzing noise and the image on the monitor looked distorted so I powered it off. This was maybe a minute after the game came on and booted okay.
When I powered it back on again the game didn't boot properly (got garbage on screen but I waited a moment and then it booted).
And the marquee light blinked out and back on again a few seconds later. I've seen it do this before and I don't believe it's an issue with the light itself.
I've also seen some weird bootup type behavior with the game in the past. And now that I mention it, Gauntlet Legends (which shares the cab) has acted up a few times right after the game has come up. Game has refused to boot a few times, other times it has booted but the hard drive started making clicking sounds that weren't normal so I rebooted and everything was well.
When the games don't act up, which is 80% of the time, everything seems to be good.
I'm thinking a power supply issue but it's a new power supply? Other than checking voltages to make sure they are right at 5v or slightly higher, does anyone have any other suggestions?
