Yeah you have to wait a bit on any game before turning it off so the HS saves.

Think dail up speed not Fiber Optic......

Here's my PCB - let me know, I'd love to upgrade this, as I have a 25th Cocktail that I absolutely LOVE!

Yes. Socketed. This can use upgraded eprom to play 25th

I have the feeling that U6 could be the reason.
The photos are not good enough to let me read the imprint on the chip, but I assume it's the serial EEPROM holding the FPGA config and the did a little change to move the port.
J1 looks like a JTAG connector to program the serial EEPROM in circuit.

[UPDATE]
Yes, it is a serial EEPROM, but likely only holds HIGH SCORE and CONFIG.
J1 seems to be a JTAG, but the two chips with the heatsink are not FPGAs they are just CPLDs and CPLDs hold the firmware or schematics how ever you will call it inside.
Without a dump there is likely no other way then the patch
[/UPDATE]

So 3 years later and I finally did this, works great. Huge necrobump thanks and just in case anyone with a board still doesn't know about it yet.

I have a question for the 25th anniversary PCB. Does it have settings for attack sounds?
