Hello I am buying a Rush the Rock sit down. When I was playing it a message came up at the bottom left of the screen saying Rename Font Blit Char (font 1.0) Failed. When I was playing a race, the game reset and came back on. The message was no longer there when it restarted. It passes all its diagnostic tests that it does in the test menu. Also I noticed that the bottom right sides of the monitor have a purple color to them. The monitor was replaced with a better one so could they just not have adjusted to monitor or does it need degaussed or something? Thanks

As for the error message, you may need to buy a new hard drive. These are for sell on eBay. If I recall correctly, there is a flash drive assembly for $80. These lasts years longer than the hard drive.

As for the monitor, sounds like you need to degauss it. Buy a degaussing coil online if you don't already have one.
 
One of my Rush the Rock had the same error message about the font, then a few months later the hard drive completely died. Instead of buying a new hard drive I took a 30gig I had laying around (I think you only need an 8 gig or something like that) and I downloaded the new hard drive image file from this site and followed his directions. Minutes later I had a perfect working rush the rock again. Here is the site. Hope it helps.

Hey thanks a lot this will be very helpful. I am almost relieved it is just a harddrive issue as that will be easy to fix
 
Another question I forgot to ask. Hopefully you can answer since you have seen this same error message before. Would a failing HD cause the game to reboot? Did that ever happen when your HD was bad? When the message came up when I was playing it, I was in the middle of a game and it rebooted. The message was no longer there and the game played fine for the rest of the time I tested it.
 
I never got a error message, but when mine was rebooting, I fixed it by turning the 5V up a tad. I set it so that when testing at the game board, it was +5.1V.
I also plugged the power for the hard drive directly into the power supply, not using the power off the PCB. Hasn't rebooted since.
 
My Rush never rebooted but instead just froze usually on the startup video of the game or while playing.. it was a hit or miss when I would turn the game on if the hard drive wanted to work and then eventually it was dead and making ticking sounds. I agree john2654, upping the voltage a tad might fix the rebooting issue, I have heard that fix before for other games that reboot by themselves.
