RE: Omega Race - help!

Usually acid from the battery eats away at the ram and rom sockets....clean
the board in vinegar, baking powder and a tooth brush. Rinse with distilled
water and dry in the oven (electric) on a low heat. Replace all the bad
sockets. Check the Roms are good with an eprom reader if you have one, check
all the ram IC's on another game board that uses 2114's. Good luck. Great
Game!

   I recall that there is no *easy* way to disable the WD on Omega Race.
You may have to muck around with the WD circuit itself, or lift a few
pins. Maybe lifting the reset pin on the CPU and holding it
manually...?

   See if the game can go into self-test. Some games that crash
normally can still spit out some useful info (tones) when placed into
self-test mode. Slim chance, but maybe a bad CPU? You tried cleaning
and reseating/wiggling it? Bad socket?

   Peace!
