Title: 138 in 1 Jamma board.
Post by: spacel0rd on June 06, 2013, 11:06:01 am
I have a classic horizontal arcade multigame jamma pcb put into a Joust cabinet.  But I cannot figure out how to get the Joust game to have more than one life.  You die once, the game is over.  It's such a buzzkill. 
Does anyone know a trick when it comes to this board?

Thanks

PER THE MANUAL:

5. Single game setting and operation
1) Please refer to “edit game list” as above, and enter the edit game list menu (see figure 12)
2) Select game list by moving 1P joystick and press 1P D button to set. If it shows “SET” in front of game title you selected, that means the setting is successful.
3) Enter the DIP Switch settings menu as figure 9, set the Game mode to Single mode, and System mode to “Normal play” mode and save. The single game will be started after the system reboot.
6. Game configuration settings
Way 1 for Game configuration settings:
1) Enter the DIP Switch settings menu as figure 9, set System mode to “Config/Edit” mode, save and quit the system settings menu, then system reboot and enter the game list menu (figure 2).
2) Moving 1P joystick down or up to select the game you want to change, Press 1P A button to start game and enter the game configuration settings as figure 14.

We had 4 buttons on each side of the cabinet, but it required 6.  One of the two extra buttons we installed controled the preferences to Joust and six other games.
So..we got it.  :)
