How to Reset High Scores on Arcade1Up

Resetting high scores on Arcade1Up machines can vary slightly depending on the model and game. However, the general procedure involves accessing the machine's settings menu and selecting the option to clear or reset high scores. Here’s a detailed guide to help you through the process:

1. Turn On the Arcade1Up Machine: Ensure the machine is powered on and fully booted up.

2. Access the Settings Menu:

   • For most Arcade1Up models, you will need to press a combination of buttons to access the settings menu. This often involves holding down a specific button or combination of buttons while the machine is starting up.
   • Check the manual for your specific model for the exact button combination. Common combinations include pressing the "Player 1" and "Player 2" buttons simultaneously or holding down the "Menu" button.

3. Navigate to High Score Settings:

   • Once in the settings menu, use the joystick or arrow keys to navigate to the “High Scores” or “Score Settings” option. This section might be labeled differently depending on the game or model.
   • Select the “Reset” or “Clear High Scores” option. This will bring up a confirmation prompt.

4. Confirm the Reset:

   • Follow the on-screen instructions to confirm that you want to reset the high scores. This usually involves selecting “Yes” or “Confirm” to proceed.
   • Be aware that resetting high scores is often irreversible. Make sure you really want to clear the scores before confirming.

5. Exit the Settings Menu:

   • After resetting the high scores, exit the settings menu by selecting the “Exit” or “Back” option. The machine will return to the main menu or gameplay screen.

6. Test the Reset:

   • To ensure the high scores have been reset, play a game and verify that the high score list is empty or set to default values.

Note: If you encounter any issues or if the above steps do not work, refer to the user manual for your specific Arcade1Up model. Some models may have unique procedures or additional options for managing high scores.

By following these steps, you can easily reset high scores on most Arcade1Up machines, allowing you to start fresh and challenge yourself or others for new high scores.
