Spy Hunter/MCR games not booting with Midway switcher adaptor solution found?

You guys may have already know this, but I didn't and after years of researching my mysterious problem with spy hunter that seemed to never boot cleanly and need to constantly be readjusted for 20 minutes before it would start playing I never found anything like this...so I though I'd write it up. Especially since most of the info I found claims that MCR games just are picky and don't like switchers..

If you are having problems where your spy hunter or other MCR game won't boot reliably on a check out the info below.

hope it helps someone, not to throw their spy hunter out the trash as I almost got to the point of doing.
 
Good writeup. This is similar to the reason why some people can cut the reset line on their Tron and get it to work. If you dont' have a battery on your power supply, it won't work, but if you have a strong battery on your power supply and cut the reset line, sometimes it'll bleed over enough to let it boot up.
