A side efect until i replace the resistor is the system will shutdown after several hours of play. But has restarted so far.

After awhile (3 to 4 hours) of play the machine will shut down. I have not replaced the resistor as of yet. I might do this on the upcoming weekend. So beware when short out the f1 resisitor.............

Hey, did you by chance use the same controllers in each test? Maybe you have a bad controller that blew the resistors in the consoles. I wouldn't trust the controller if this is the case.

Just my 2 cents worth....

Different controllers. Tried a brand new dreamcast control pad. Also a fishing controller.
