Ok so this problem started awhile ago and I think it has been getting progressively worse.
I have a neo geo dedicated 4 slot big wooden cabinet that I traded my four slot for and got a 6 slot.
Anyway the problem is the cabinet does something strange after a while of play. What it does is kinda hard to explain. You guys know that green blocky splash screen before it boots the neo geo song with text? Well after a little bit of play the cabinet starts freaking out and that green splash screen comes up and keeps stuttering rapidly. The coin indicators flicker as well and there is snapping over the speakers.
Things I wonder if it is:
1. Power supply? The cabinet has been doing this for awhile but it used to take a long time before it would start. Now it does it after a couple minutes after boot.
2. Bios? I bought the board as a Japanese board and had a burned EEPROM of a regular Europe bios so I threw that in there. I had been intending on getting a universe bios but hadn't gotten around to it yet.
3. 6 slot? I heard after trading mine out that the 6 slot was notorious for failing and I wondered if my time was up. I have a 4 slot I can try out in the cabinet but it is in my neo candy and is on loan to my wife's elementary school for their summer program that I help out with so I won't have access to it for quite some time.
Anyway, does anyone have a similar experience that they can share with me or know of this problem? Any help would be appreciated!
