Whatever the problem was went away when I reseated the multigame parts and
disconnected/reconnected the mathbox board connector. It didn't work
right away but after going into the multigame menu and selecting version 3,
it seems to work fine. I'm sure the problem will come back but I'll wait
until dies more permanently.
