Issue Description

Sometimes your arcade game might freeze, fail to start, or display errors preventing normal play. These technical hiccups can happen due to various reasons such as software glitches, hardware connection issues, or outdated firmware.

3. Make sure the coin/card system is properly functioning if applicable.
