Title: Help with Spiderman
Post by: zds76 on April 19, 2014, 10:22:56 am
Finally got my Sega Spiderman working. Let my two sons play it last night. Game froze about 30 minutes into game play. Any suggestion as to what I could do to solve the problem. I am suspecting I have a power supply issue unrelated to this issue. But was wondering if a weak power supply could freeze the game?

I would definitely suspect the power supply. Check your 5V and adjust it to just over +5V.

I think the power supply is shot. On a few occasions I have turned on the game and the screen would be blank. I would turn up the power supply a little and it worked fine. I have a newer supply just need to put it in. Thanks will let you guys know of the new PS solves the problem.
