After 10 years I've rejoined the Nascar club.
This game is doing something I don't remember my old game doing.
Whenever the game is powered up, or reset after going into the menu, the game will eject all 4 balls into the shooter lane and then auto plunge them. Once all 4 are back in the trough it will play just fine and never do it again. Until the next power up.
Game is running 4.5 code. I've checked all of the trough and upkicker switches/optos and all seem to be working in the switch test.
Is this normal behavior? I think not, but of course I could be wrong.
