You are lift tilted. Check the captive ball in the cabinet. I bet it stuck with the switch closed. Don't ask how I know this.

Quoted from barakandl:

Stuck slam tilt should just cause instant reboot once attract mode hits. The CPU is not monitoring the switches until attract mode begins.

Nope. With the lift tilt stuck closed it just sits there dead. Turning the cabinet on end to move to move the game, jams the ball to the end of the guide. Because of this I always remove the lift tilt ball.

Ok. Here is my Catacomb booted with a slam tilt locked closed. There is no rebooting.

I'll look. The game this originally happened on was F2K. I'm working on it so it isn't setup to test on right now.

I didn't find any faults in the slam tilt. During game play a slam tilt does not reboot the game just locks it until the circuit is returned open. Then it reboots. If I close the switch multiple times quickly, it looks like it is throwing up pieces of assembly language in the player 4 display.
