I have a r-1 rom in the machine now and want to change to the L-1 release rom. If I do so will it reset the high scores.
Quoted from koen12344:Is R-1 the proto rom? Mine has the proto roms. I believe the newer rom has a ball save for the Yagov kicker, and by default you lite two locks instead of one when you complete TOM-CAT for the first time?
It has the 2 ball lock on the first Tom cat spelling and the insurance in the Yagov kicker.
Question, I just turned on my machine today and when I do I get no music on the first ball just the other sounds. When the ball drains the music will play as normal and is fine from then on. Turn it off and it is intermittently doing it. Any suggestions or thoughts on what to check. I changed the speaker system to pinballpro last week but if the speakers were the problem then I would think that no sounds would come out.
Quoted from mikepmcs:Are you waiting a little bit prior to hitting the start button. I've researched a couple older posts for you and it appears to be normal if starting the game too fast after powering up. Maybe it will take even a little longer for the sound to boot up because of the additional mod you made?

Thanks will pay attention to that and see
Need help. I was changing out my rom chips today to the latest release and did so making sure all legs were in place before turning on the machine. I turned it on and the 2.5 amp slo blow fuse blew the beacons on top started turning and that was it. I turned off the machine, changed the roms back to the original ones replaced the fuse and turned it on and nothing but some G.I. lights come on. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Issue solved. Wait for the sound notification then start all is well.
Thanks
Having another sound issue. I replace the rom in the game with the l-1 rom from matts basement arcade. The rom world fine but the call outs aren’t happening correctly and sometimes it doesn’t say “I’m locked on” or yagov starts saying “you can’t win” bit it’s cuts off and he stops. The correct sound isn’t playing when you light Tom cat mostly no sound just a jet engine reving.
Secondly I noticed that the U10 chip wasn’t seated correctly so I removed it and the legs were so brittle that one broke off one was bent and when I put it back in place it broke. So now the game is dead until I get a replacement 6821 chip.
Any suggestions on the callouts not finishing or being right. I put the initial rom back in and it is now doing the same thing with the call outs. That was before the U10 chip disaster.
