Hello, I got a Maximum Speed the other day and the game randomly locks up. Very Frequently it locks up right after your race starts. Other times I get 3 laps and sometimes I get 3 races. If anyone has any ideas what I might do to fix it I would appreciate it. Let me know. PEACE Bart
 
Is the fan in the atomiswave unit running? First thing I'd do is make sure it is clean any everything and not overheating. Also have you run the self test on it? Behind the coin door you should have a test button to drop the game into the menu's.
 
OK so I cleaned everything, fan works great. So when the game locks up sound keeps playing and I get a stopped screen.

Game still stopped quick right after cleaning. Also in test mode, screen slow faded away and locked up.

So I took apart the game cartridge and cleaned it, it worked better i played part of a race and it locked, then I sprayed keyboard cleaner in the cartridge it got cold and played for 7 games before locking up.

Any idea what could go wrong in the cartridge?
 
So I just washed the cartridge board then used can air to blow it dry. Then I put the cartridge in but left off the case. I just got done playing about 10 games no problem, well i hope it keeps going. PEACE Bart
 
mine works just fine...if you want to send me the cart i'll test it for you...that'd tell you if it's the cart or the mother board...
 
I think I figured it out, it has poor connectivity/conductivity between board and cartridge. any idea how to improve the connection?
