Gaia Crusaders - bugs

Post by Yamazaki »

Hi guys

bought a original Gaia Crusaders PCB several weeks ago.

Seller warned me that it takes several times before the PCB fires up correctly.

which it does properly with my MAK.

Problem is that i.e. the Logo at the beginning and grafik layers in the levels disappear or don't show up at all.


any idea what the issue is? Or is it an issue with my MAK?


thanks!

The easiest thing to look for is loose joints. Try lightly knocking on the pcb with some non-conductive object like the handle of a screwdriver.
You will see immediately if it's a loose-joint dependent issue.
Otherwise please post some photos or, even better, videos.
My 15kHz cabinet Peplos will never power up, with any item, and I am quite proud of that.

the status at the moment:


- using my MAK - game starts but with Background errors and missing graphic layers
- using my Blast City - I get a BG Ram 2 NG error - and the game won't start

- using my friends MAK - game needs several attempts but will in the end run without any bugs/glitches.


really strange

Sounds like low voltage to me. Check your +5v etc...
