Just got Warzard installed on my motherboard, previously working fine with NG, and have had an issue with the game constantly freezing.

It doesn't lockup or anything, just pauses for a half a second or so and then resumes playing---kinda like watching streaming video. This happens on the Attract Sequence and during Gameplay.

The +5V reads 5.05 on my cab.

Only odd thing I've noticed is it asks me to confirm the CD in on startup and the drive will spin up & down quite a bit while it's running. This may be normal for Warzard? ..but you wouldn't know there was a drive hooked up while playing New Generation. I've also tried both a CDR and the original disc.

Any help would be appreciated. Going to try this in another cab in the meantime :dragb:

one of my past third strikes did this before kicking the bucket... one time it froze and did not un-freeze itself-- I left it for about 10 minutes hoping it would catch and then ultimately ended up restarting the machine and the cart was dead.

This skipping could however be a problem with the SIMM I would guess? That could have something to do with it asking you to confirm the CD.. though honestly I have never even heard of that happening. Totally new to me...

Noticed every time it froze, the drive seemed to spin up again. Raided a 15 year old Dell and nabbed another one, working perfectly.

Not entirely sure why that was an issue, maybe Warzard loads stuff in real time? Ah wells, I'm just happy I never got around to throwing out these old comps :buttrock:
