Arcade operators in regions with intense auroral activity, such as Alaska or Northern Scandinavia, face unique challenges in maintaining machine performance due to electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by solar particles interacting with Earth's atmosphere. This interference can cause game freezes, graphical glitches, and data corruption in sensitive electronic components. To combat these issues, operators implement robust shielding techniques, including Faraday cage principles on critical circuits, enhanced grounding systems, and surge protectors rated for high-EMI environments. Regular maintenance schedules are adjusted to monitor and replace components prone to EMI damage, such as power supplies and memory boards. Additionally, some operators use localized EMI filters and opt for solid-state components over mechanical ones where possible, reducing failure rates. By combining proactive hardware strategies with real-time monitoring of space weather forecasts, arcade businesses ensure reliable operation and minimize downtime, preserving both player experience and profitability in these electrically dynamic areas.
