What's my first step? Sinistar - not working
Level42:
Am I starting to get Alzheimer's at 41 or did I already wrote that he should get rid of the batteries ? :dunno :dunno
And no he should NOT put new baterties in there for these reasons:
1) the battery holder that Williams used is a piece of ---Cleveland steamer---. Even when it's brand new. The construction simply sucks.
2) After what happened to the batteries, the holder is definitely written off. No way that is going to give good contact anymore
3) If you put batteries again in there, the same thing may happen in a couple of years.
The best solution is the one I suggested in my initial response.
Also, the batteries are not going to make this game work or not. They're only there for backing up settings etc.
Sorry but if people post questions/ask for advice here and then they don't READ it then that's it for me.
Like this:
--- Quote ---Does the JROK board come with a Jamma to Williams adapter ?
--- End quote ---
I mean I WROTE that in my very first reply and also you obviously didn't take the effort to actually read Jrok's page about this board.....
Another thing from my first reply:
--- Quote ---If you want to keep the original hardware I would say that that screen is an indication of bad Ram. The 4116's are known for failing. They also need 3 different power supply voltages. Most people replace the 4116's with 4164's because they are more reliable (don't get so hot) and only require one supply voltage.
You can either do a very easy mod to the board to be able to use 4164's or you can use an adapter connector. Here's more info:

I think that says pretty clear that he can't swap out the 4116's for 4164's......
CheffoJeffo:
It seems that Level42 is both older AND grumpier than I am ! ;)
SirPeale:
Oh, one point of interest: you can't just put new 4164 RAM straight in. You either need to modify the board, or use an adapter.
Also, don't worry about the batteries. They won't make the game work. You do need to get the ones that are in there OUT though.
:D

I've got the right to my grumpy moments like everybody else. :laugh:
