Man the suprises this machine keeps giving me and good ones too. I got this Stargate and it would lock up on me when I would get to the settings screen for credits, lives, etc... You then have to manually reset it in the back and it comes up again ok. I thought somehting was wrong with my machine but when you insert a coin it comes up with some more interesting info. It only shows a colon instead of a number on lives smartbombs and inviso durring the start screen and has unlimited everything while playing. You can go on for ever! Is this a old rom hack someone ordered? I am assuming so but I have not seen anything like it offered on arcadeamusements or other sites. I made a short youtube video showing it off:

It's probably more likely bad CMOS. Do you get the "Factory Settings Restored" message when you start it up?

You might also want to think about changing the batteries.

Change your batteries. I've seen this before and failing batteries caused a corruption in the memory. Pull the old ones, leave them out for a minute, then put in the new ones. Reset everything and yer good...
 
Thanks yes that sounds like it would be the problem.


It's just now you shattered my dreams of an allnighter this Sunday. After breaking the world record I would send in my video to Twin Galaxies and set my name in history, girls would turn into groupies following me around, world piece would be restored, Obama would call me on the phone gongratulating me....

Now I will have to go back to not being able to get past level 3 :(
 
TG fame is fleeting, ask Billy Mitchell. Groupies leave residue, ask David Lee Roth. World Peace is overrated, ask John Lennon. And Obama ringtones are a dime a dozen, ask Sprint.

Any other dreams you need shattered? ... :D

Just keep working at it, if I can get my score past 15K anybody can....:)

Damn that blows. It's like suddenly developing a photographic memory and being labeled a genius only to find out it's due to a freaking brain tumor. lol
 
That was funny everyone. Ok, I got the game working with your help. It was doing those exact same things showed in your thread Jessie with it locking on that same screen. I removed the batteries and let it sit for a while. I cleaned the old old battery mounting with contact cleaner and put in some freash batteries. After turning it on it said to leave the coin door open and turn it off and on and now it all is working great. No random restarting or anything.

I did not know you could set it up to 20 lives a person. That is plenty. I put it on the easiest setting and it feels like I am playing in slooow motion.

Thanks guys!

The best way to get good isi to set it to a high number of ships and then set the difficulty way up. Then when you play it at a normal setting, it seems much easier.
