If youve played jurassic park u may notice during game play, a velociraptor runs across the dotmatrix display that u can shoot at ( if you got a free hand). This isnt during a skill shot. So i start pullin the trigger and also hit the start button, and the game resets! This only happens of u have extra credits, and doesnt start a multi player game mode.

I did notice i am running the 4.04 cpu. Does anyone know if there are newer rom chips and where i can get one?

Soooo...you hit the start button and it started a new game...

Isn't that like getting mad at the flipper because it keeps moving up when you touch the pesky flipper button?

This is in the middle of the game. Probably not that big of a deal; but its goin into a bar and i wanna make sure all the bugs are worked out.

The start button essentially has the potential to restart during gameplay. Erasing the one yer playing.

On some pins you can turn this feature off in the menu.

Yes. And you're expecting it to work differently?

Some games have a setting to allow that to not happen. In JP that's Adjustment 37.

This isn't a bug though, the way it normally works, if the start button is pressed during the first ball, a player is added. If it's pressed after the first ball, a new game starts. Some games will allow for an adjustment to delay the start, so you have to press and hold the start button to start a new game. Most games though will start a new game if you press the start button unless adjustable.

That's why I kick little kids in the shins when they get close to a game I'm playing. You know that little SOB is going to push the flashing light of that start button on a marathon game I'm having and set my score back to zero.

My hurricane restarts if I hit start during a game, totally normal.

Unless the father is nearby and you'd rather lose your high score than your life

Many of my games have a restart problem where a new game begins after ball 3 drains. It's terrible.

#10 11 years ago

Yep, and every time i manage to get that damn ball off the PF a new one pops back out.

#11 11 years ago

Aaah cool. Thanks guys just makin sure shes in tip top shape!

It's a feature...when no one is watching I can press the start button and it's all erased...no one knows the difference.
