Newbie here. Hello.
I just bought an upright Ms Pacman. It's been kept outside on a patio in open air. As you might imagine, it's not in the best shape. The cabinet is extremely worn and all of the paint is peeling. None of the side art remains. I'm imagining that I will have to replace the cabinet sides for sure.
Initially, the machine would not power up. With closer inspection, the power cord was damaged. I replaced it. Still no power. Fuses were blown. I replaced them. Woohoo! Power up!
The edge connector is loose and audio is humming horribly. I will go through that and try to fix it. The game itself does not work properly. There is a double character problem (sometimes). Sometimes, the game crashes and goes black. Sometimes, it doesn't even boot up completely. When the game is "playable", Ms. pacman runs REALLY fast.
1. Can the loose edge connector be a big part of the game crash problems or is that definitely board problem?
2. Is the fast speed because of a hack or board problem?
3. Where in the heck can I get a coin door?
I'll post some pictures of the cabinet in a bit. Poor machine.
