Whenever I hit the switch to power up the arcade, the Stargate always comes up to all systems go, then tells me that I need to open the coin-door to reset bookkeeping. So I have to go get the keys and do just that and it comes up.
Is my lithium CR2032 battery dieing? How often do you have to have this thing running to keep a charge in the battery? I thought the lithium conversion would eliminate something like this.
Can you imagine having to change out all the lithium batteries every couple years for boards where this conversion is run?
I'm wondering if it's just because I don't keep the games powered on for long periods of time?
I mean occasionally I'll power them all up just to ensure that they all still work or if any one is having a problem. Might keep them up for a bit but I get his overriding feeling of my electricity meter spinning out of it's enclosure. Plus I'm always apprehensive on the initial powerup with the vector games.
I need to get past this when I actually get an arcade built.
