    March 18 2018 was his last post about the game.

    He says he installed an Alltek MPU board hoping that some of the game glitches would be cured by the board.

    Apparently the Alltek did not help, so the bugs might be in the wiring?

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    I think the bugs were in the code. It was never finished or tweaked.

    It is just an early-stage proto from a company that was about to go under, after all.

    I wish Ken would post a video, then we could see what bugs he's got.

    I don't have to tell anyone how frustrating the switch matrix can be to someone who does not troubleshoot them all the time.

    Experienced techs that work for ops will tell me how they had to pull a machine because it's "possessed".

    Not having a Switch Matrix chart makes things even worse for a nubie.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    This guy is a newbie?!
    Hope he didn't bite off more than he can chew.

    Sometimes Karma bites off more of your ass than it can chew.

    Quoted from too-many-pins:

    All because a few people thought seller should try to get more money instead of selling it to someone who would have actually done something with it.

    The seller was not a pinball guy.

    He did not know who Clay was.

    If anyone came off like a jerk to him, he did what anyone else would do - sell it to somebody else.

    Ken - if you are reading this.

    It can often help to draw out the switch matrix (just follow the wire color codes) into a grid.

    Then you can "draw the box" to find when a flaky diode in one row is putting a ghost into another.

    Here is one I did for Time Warp because the original was incomplete, you can do the same in a few minutes:

    Hopefully someone who knows Ken can invite him to turn his account back on (or someone who has Facebook can invite him through his blog).

    There are a couple dozen good techs here, I'm sure we can get it figured out.
