Ok, so been wanting a Defender for some time and picked one up Sunday. I have owned a Robotron and StarGate before, so I am aware of some of the issues with Williams games such as the RAM. I have a left over RAM kit from Bob to swap out the normal issues with the RAMs. So here are my questions..
1: Was looking at the PS as the game will reboot at times. I did find that the voltage is a tad low at 4.8v. Is there a way on this PS to adjust voltage? Just rebuild?
2: I also read that the reboot can be cause by bad RAMs? I did the RAM check and they passed the test, but at one point when starting up the game a RAM error came up, but then the game started. Almost seems like a voltage issue to me.
3: Up/Down control has tons of slop... I know my StarGate was kinda sloppy as well, but not nearly as bad as Defender. Looked at it and just has the stick on the axis and two leaf switches? Is there supposed to be a rubber grommet or springs in there to add some tension?
Ideas?
