Recap

Virtua Racing Deluxe back in action after a recap and a clean. Whether the cap was actually the cause or the IPA did the real work is unclear, but it works now.

There we go, as good as new. Virtua Racing Deluxe back in action. Still not convinced it was the capacitor's fault. Even though I did clean it with isopropyl 3 times prior, it could still be a coincidence. Regardless, I'll take it. Better it works than not. #RETROGAMING #Sega
