That sounds right; I don't remember if your settings included free-play, but
that's how I have mine set; everything else is recommended settings, with
Aliens selected OFF.

If I remember correctly, the high score of CLC 102XXX high score is displayed
during the games that get stuck in PRESS START mode. Would clearing the high
scores have anything to do with it? I ask because I haven't cleared the high
scores for Tempest or V-breakout like you ask/recommend. Also, I have the
reset board installed on the boardset. If you would like, I can send you the
boardset so that you can work with a reproducable scenario.
