Hi guys (and gals);
I've never messed with System 1 stuff, but I've got a roadblasters I'm trying to get up and going again. I got the power supply voltages right, but now the game just keeps looping through the error message with the blue letters that says "No Cartridge". If you remove the cartridge it does the same thing. I cleaned the edge connectors and both boards look new, really clean nice shape and are installed in a cab... so I'm not bench testing them or anything. It's a kitted system 1 cabinet that's had this game in it for probably 20 years, so there shouldn't be any motherboard/cartridge mismatch issues I don't believe.

Anyways, if you throw it into test mode it goes through a couple blank screens, then goes to the No Cartridge screen again, and does this over and over again.

Anything specific to look for on this?
