Re: Self Test with Tempest multigame

I think my board is continually getting reset by the watchdog. I get about
90% of a Tempest logo on the screen (upside down) and then it redraws. So
when I hit the test switch, it's behaving like a power-on reset. I'll
disable the watchdog and see if I can get into test mode. I'm guessing the
mathbox board is having problems (upside down screen) plus Clay's menu
works fine but the game itself doesn't run.
