Introduction 3

Introduction for Experts

So you've got your games and you have a nice collection, what else could you possibly want to know! Well there is ALWAYS something else to learn, there are so many games out there that work in completely different ways - they were probably deemed as 'novel' in their day but now they're just a pain to troubleshoot! This section deals with a slightly more advanced approach to video games and covers troubleshooting tools and how to use them, a section on how games work (technical!) and some tips on what to look for when fixing your games. Be warned, fixing games requires a special knowledge of your own abilities, games which fail (in normal operation!) rarely have more than one faulty component - games which have been attempted to be fixed by someone who knows little else other than how to prod about always have many faults! I'm not saying you need to be an electrical genius to fix boards (far from it!) you only need a small amount of electrical know how and, of course how to use your tools properly to successfully repair boards. The main requirement is a little common sense! :o)
