I had a friend over last night and we were looking over the Firepower. I installed some new LEDs and the game was on for around 30-40 minutes in attract mode. We started to smell electronics burning (Yeah, THAT smell) and the game turned off. I did some troubleshooting and determined that the CPU, a Motorola 6808, fried. OH NOES! I don’t have any 6808s so I have to order a few. Now I have to figure out why it died in the first place.
I guess while I am waiting I might as well start on the Earthshaker
