It's a pain, but replacing the two 24 pin headers and then ALL ROM and PROM
sockets on the AUX and AVG will get the reliability back. Replacing the 24
pin interconnect cable also is a good idea. If you use the Braze kit, you
still need to replace the two Vector ROM sockets as they need to stay
inserted (ones ending in "421" and "422"). The set in my BZ cab has run for
over two years now with no issues.

I did the HS hack myself years ago and it's been working great. The board
interconnects, on the other hand, are a different story. I wish there was a
kit to change the connectors to something more reliable.

I have a HUGE high score in my BZ due to a some glitch in game. The game was
set for public free-play during old-game happening in a museum. When I got
it back there was highest score something like over 10 million.

Battlezone has a history of being unstable over the long run. Much of it
related to the roms/sockets. Is there any documented hack out there to
reduce the bank of roms down to a single rom?

Or is the Braze high score kit about the best solution for this problem?

Thanks,
David
