Arcade operators face unique challenges in maintaining machine performance in areas with high microwave radiation, such as near communication towers or industrial facilities. Microwave radiation can cause electromagnetic interference (EMI), leading to game glitches, screen flickering, or complete system failures. To combat this, operators implement several key strategies. First, they use EMI shielding materials, like metal enclosures or conductive coatings, on vulnerable components to block external radiation. Regular maintenance includes testing machines for sensitivity to interference and repositioning them away from radiation sources when possible. Additionally, operators install ferrite beads on cables and upgrade to higher-quality power supplies with better noise filtration. Some also employ ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) to prevent electrical surges. For software, firmware updates that improve error-handling capabilities are applied. In extreme cases, operators collaborate with manufacturers to design custom shielding solutions. By combining these technical measures with proactive monitoring, arcade operators ensure reliable performance, minimizing downtime and preserving the player experience despite environmental challenges. This approach not only protects hardware but also maintains revenue streams by keeping machines operational in demanding conditions.
