According to gameinit.dat, when the bad ram message appears, hold down 1 and 9, hit F3, when it says RAM INIT, let go of the keys.

Tested and works.

Yes, I know and mentioned in the description, but it is improbable in the original game cabinet, every time one start the cabinet, have to hit start+service button and restart the game.
