Hello everyone!
So I recently got into the world of arcade machines and been having a great time. I've been able to play 3rd strike on my Blast City for the most part, however, I have a re-occurring issue that is quite consistent when I let the game do its idle CPU battles and such. After about 20-30ish minutes the game will just freeze during the CPU matches, nothing will fix it other than a restart. It freezes during normal player matches much less frequently. The game is on an original CPS3 JAMMA board and original 3rd strike cart/cd.
Things I have done so far to try and fix it:
- Checked the voltages from the PSU, I am getting 5.026-5.029 when I test the first and third pin on the JAMMA board while the game is running. Same voltage when the game freezes, no fluctuation.
- Cleaned the Connections on the PSU, JAMMA, SIMMs, Cart, and made sure the grounds were good.
- Looked at all of the caps, none of them seem bulging or broken.
Not really sure where to go from here, I don't have another JAMMA board to test if that's the issue.
Anyone have any ideas for a fix? Thanks in advance!
