Title: Kick-harness wiring on New Astro City
Post by: c0nn0r on October 20, 2016, 04:00:27 pm
Hey guys,

I need help getting a 2-player 6-button setup working. Does anyone have a wiring diagram that I can use to get this working?

A previous owner of the machine seems to have cut off the terminating connector that brings the button presses down to the terminating kick-harness plug inside the cab. Instead of a nice plug, I have a set of bare wires (see pic)

I tried brute-forcing the combinations to learn which wires go where, but it was tedious. I was able to get something working, but the kick would only register if I was pushing two buttons at the same time. Weird!

Do any of you have insight on why this is happening?
