Back on this!
I'm now in the mood to work on that one!
So here's the condition of the game 10 months ago :
Still two issues to fix :
1. (A NEW ONE), the PCB doesn't boot anymore after 5 minutes of play. Cold boot is always ok.... it sounds like a power supply issue... will check the voltages when they are warm...
2. Sounds (except the car engine) is *sometime* missing. Maybe a capkit of the external sound board would fix that? Anyway, it won't hurt...
Well, the situation is now worst :
- the game doesn't boot at all!
- the left screen has now sync/parasites issue!
As suggested by Fred 'Spectroman' when we came at home few months ago, the left monitor chassis is a waaayyy too dirty... which is probably causing some kind of short circuits? OK, I guess it must be cleaned!
Ok, there it is before the 'bath' :
...and after. Not totally cleaned but a way far better!
Great, no more sync issue for the left monitor :
(I will capkit that chassis because I can't extend the vertical picture size as much as the middle/right monitors)
But... the game still doesn't boot!
Next step, let's check the power supplies! (yeah, there are 2 PS inside that cabinet)
(to continue...)
