A long winded explanation of your plight!! And it's a very simple sollution. Space Ace has 3 difficulty settings - easy, medium and hard. When you take the actions to insert a coin and press start to play the game, you'll notice it will beep a few times. It's indicating that it's waiting for you to choose one of the difficulties. If you don't choose one, it will defailt to easy, in which it will just keep the game moving on if you die, not making you repeat the part where you died. You want to choose either medium or difficult. Either one of those will make you repeat the scene over if you die.
I don't remember what the default keys are, but you can go into the configuration and look at the input settings. Look where it shows the Skills and what keys they're mapped to. You can, of course change them if you'd like.
Thanks for the explanation. I didn't know Space Ace allowed you to select a difficulty and that was what the beeps were waiting for. The difference between home versions and the arcade is more than I thought. I just assumed there was one difficulty like Dragon's Lair. Well I'm just glad that it was just my ignorance that was the problem. Live and learn. Thanks again!
