Title: MK2 Arcade Machine controls won't work in game
Post by: Jpstetsaiga on October 20, 2017, 08:39:58 pm
I got this cab off a friend and worked well for a while. But now, the controls only work in the dipswitch menu. If I load the game up, the only thing recognized is the joystick moving. Ive tried changing the battery on the board, as suggested by a local seller of modded cabs, but that didnt help either. I looked though and there's no loose cables, disconnected items, and nothing I search for on the web yields any results. Haven't been able to use the thing in almost 2 years. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So no buttons are working only joysticks? Check connections on pcb and check that all buttons are daisy chained together with grounds

They work when in the dipswitch menu, dipswitch #8 I believe. But in game, only the joysticks work...

Wow, that makes no sense. I've never seen that before. If your on Facebook or YouTube, search
Yourmkarcadesource or zenomorph on klov and pm him about this. He's very knowledgeable about midway stuff. I've probably done over a dozen of them but never has the switches worked on test and not in the game. Again check all the connections at the boards

That's what's got me baffled. Makes no sense why it works in one but not the other. I'll hit them up thanks
