Trying to troubleshoot my Meteor. It was working fine. Now it boots up fine but the game won't start when I press the start button. I have an Altek MPU and Rottendog rectifier board. Self test on the Altek runs fine. Not sure if I need to be looking for something there. What else should I look for? Any help would be appreciated.

Quoted from zacaj:

Credits? Does the start button register in switch test?

I didn't realize there were switch tests on the early machines. I'll look into it and report back. Thanks!

Ok, yes it does register in switch test when the start button is pressed.

Thanks for the help!

Also. One way to avoid having to add credits in the future, you can go into the settings and set the high score levels really low and have it award credits for reaching them. Then you shouldn't need to add credits ever again.

Thanks for the tip!
