Today I installed Road Blasters into my System 1 Cabinet (change it up a bit from Marble Madness). Got everything wired up, but unfortunately there's a glitch. I did some searching and reading and it seems that the SLAGS chips go bad. These are numbered 137415-001 Atari.
My little dude wanted to play so bad he did so with the glitches and all (1st pic). After dinner I pulled some of the SLAGS, ran the eraser on them and reseated them. Noted that the one at P4/5 seems to have rust on the inside? Reseating didn't change the situation. To see if a problem could be isolated I swapped P4/5 and P2/3. Problem moved (see 2nd pic).
To make sure it was the one originally at P4/5, I swapped P2/3 and P6/7. Problem moved again (3rd pic).
Anyway, my guess is one of the SLAGS is bad. Looking for consensus from folks that might have been there.
There's a gent (ColinD) on the UK board that seems to be reverse engineering the SLAGS (details here: http://www.ukvac.com/forum/reverse-engineering-atari-slags-ics_topic340909.html) but I don't know if he's making it available for sale.
Anyone got any of these available?
