Arcade operators in regions prone to solar flare activity face unique challenges in maintaining machine performance. Solar flares release intense electromagnetic radiation that can interfere with electronic components, causing glitches, data corruption, or permanent damage to arcade cabinets. To mitigate these risks, operators implement robust shielding techniques, such as using Faraday cages or conductive coatings on sensitive parts like circuit boards and wiring. This electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding redirects or absorbs radiation, preventing disruptions. Additionally, surge protectors and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) are installed to guard against power surges induced by geomagnetic storms associated with solar events. Regular maintenance schedules include testing for radiation exposure and replacing vulnerable components preemptively. Some operators leverage predictive technology, monitoring space weather forecasts to power down machines during peak flare activity. By combining physical protections with proactive strategies, arcade businesses ensure reliable operation and longevity of their equipment, even in high-risk zones.
