yeah piggybacking also doesn't work. even though I've fixed probably 12 of those doing exactly that the last 10 years. lol

credit where it's due, he does know what he's talking about on a level I both don't understand and don't really care about because it's not really a component of what I do. he's not a game technician, I would venture he's a very high level engineer and that's great for him. I am a game technician, I have to deal with all of this every day. I don't specialize in one area; my job consists of me being able to take on any area. it just happens the Williams games were something that interested me years ago and my old job we got several non-working games that I had to make work. it was also something of a personal vendetta for me because I saw a lot of Robotrons, Jousts, and Sinistars not working out in the world. coupled with the fact that Ken Graham left, I thought it was something I could do for the community and arcades where I used to live. there's people here that have vast expertise with maybe 1 or 2 platforms, good for them. I can't be that person. I have to do video games, pinball, monitors, formerly redemption games, cranes, whatever. if it's something I don't do I flat out refuse to do it, cause there's someone else more qualified and it would inevitably probably wind up costing less.Spath smack downs are my favorite.
I invented @SCUBA King and @tron guy, and @Arcadenut I gather doesn't like me either and that's fine, he's great too.

Brad Raedel is a high level engineer that I know for fact, he's a brilliant mind for the Williams thing. I don't own it, if he wants to he can do that. I interpret there to be some kind of rift between him and me, so I'm going to say it so everyone in the back can hear: I don't fix Williams games for people anymore. there's no conflict between us. I have enough responsibility where I work now doing things that are literally damaging to my spine, I don't need the added stress of fixing games for people through the mail just for them to get everything back and shit on me in the aftermath.
I don't have beef with anyone here. I fix things, that's my purpose in life. I respect anyone that's also committed to that goal. including you @Charles Kline

@gamefixer is the GOAT
for the rest of you, enjoy the moment while it lasts, cause my run here is nearing its end.
that's it for my rant. let's keep pre-war technology alive.

...mainly because you're too stupid to understand when the "smackdown" is wrong...
Jrok should know better, but he is who he is.
I'm going to read the roms and compare the images to known good ones.
So how does that work? If you've pulled all the ROMS except for E7, how will the ROM test, test all the rest of the ROMS?IIRC, the entirety of the self-test is in the E7 ROM, so you can test that one and pull the others... once you get your RAM test happy, let the ROM test test the rest of the ROMs.

Two bad chips on the ROM board - 7411 and 7425. After testing in circuit I pulled them and both failed on the tester. I don't have either so I'm ordering a few. Update when they're in.
