My Tron arcade resets during the MCP cone let me know if anyone has any reasons why it would be doing this. 


Here's a video of it happening. (20 seconds in, to 35 is where it resets)

I would guess a loose or corrupt eprom. They do tend to wiggle out of their sockets over time due to heating and cooling.

Go through them and push down on each one down. Saw a trick to use a stiff ruler to get ones in the middle board so you don't have to take boards apart.

If that doesn't work pull and re-seat each eprom in their sockets. if that doesn't work you may have bit rot on an eprom.

If you have a eprom programmer You can verify each eprom. If not see if you can find someone to burn you a new set and shotgun them.
