Quoted from ForceFlow:It sounds like you have a WPC reset issue. Basically, when the 5v voltage drops below a certain point, the game automatically resets.

Using a kahr daughterboard is one quick way to test for the issue: https://www.kahr.us/
However, it's usually better to fix the source of the issue and not just rely on the kahr board to fix it.
Removing the z connector and direct soldering the connections solved the issue for me but I ended up selling TZ about a year ago to a friend. He ultimately ended up putting in a new daughter board after the issue started to creep back in. There are few things more frustrating than having a great game end for no reason. Mine would do it when I hit both flippers at the same time.
Quoted from Macman1979:Hello HurryUpPinball,
Thanks for the reply!
I'm jealous about TZ, that is probably going to be the next pin I buy if I can find a decent one near Atlanta! I love the theme and I love the game! Sorry yours had the issues, I hope mine can be fixed because STTNG has been a dream pinball for me for many years! I am very happy and thankful to finally have it! Did you try the adaptor board that ForceFlow mentioned by chance? Also thanks for the information and the links. I will start checking them out now.
Regards.
