QIX - I need to turn it on, then off, then on again - EVERYTIME
I am having this really annoying issue with my QIX. The game never boots on the first try. I need to turn the game on, then off, then on again to get it to boot. The first time I turn it on I get a black screen.
I am using the arcade shop switcher adapter with an old used Peter Chaou switching power supply. I also tried an ATX adapter and that didn't work at all. So, I am at a loss here. I have a cordless phone battery installed and the game is saving my settings and high scores perfect.
Could it be related to the coin door interlocks somehow? It's just a guess as it is the only variable I haven't investigated yet. It's a stab in the dark.
I have tried TWO different working PCBS also, same thing with both. I also have a brand new set of ribbon cables.
I wonder if I should try a different switching power supply with the adapter. Or, do you guys know anything I can try? I was thinking it was a reset issue. But I use this same style adapter with my Zoo Keeper and it works perfect.
