RE: [ukvac] [Tech] Nightmare Hyper Olympic

Hmmmm... I wonder whether the connectors/ sockets to the sound board are
bad then? Maybe the game is trying to test the sound board and not getting
through. I reckon it probably hangs because it expects the watchdog to
reset it when it doesn't get a reply and you've disconnected it so it just
crashes? Does a worker run without a sound board connected? Might be
something to try...

I could attach rocks to you and drop you out of a boat for not sending my
pcb?

Would it have killed Konami to put text in to say what its testing, there
are too many things that it does while there are N's on the screen. I'm
pretty sure the connection to sound board is ok, it wont hurt me to flow
some solder over the ribbon conector.

That is true, if I reconnected it, i'd just be getting N's with resets
inbetween.

The edge connector is on the sound board so it would take some serious
kludging in to try and run the cpuboard on its own.

I think the only solution will be to hot air gun the whole pcb and rebuid it
from scratch. At least then I'll have a pcb that should last me a few years
without going wrong again.

Cheers

So much hate on this list.... so much bitterness towards Luke.. One
feels he must really deserve it

On a lighter note, just to let you all know, I'm off to America tomorrow
morning until Tuesday, so if you can't get hold of me, its because I'm
busy buying games stateside
