Title: PCB Problems! (Donkey Kong and VS. Super Mario Bros.) Post by: godfather on August 19, 2013, 12:25:10 am Donkey Kong PCB
Issues: Once i get to the 3rd rivet stage(the one after the pie factory) Mario automatically dies as if it were the kill screen. i'll lose the man board will start again and then he automatically dies, untill it's game over. Tried this again and it repeated exact same stage. VS. Super Mario Bros. Issues: Luigi will not go down tubes or duck? The left side of the control panel is the 2nd player? Pretty weird not sure what i should do here. When i pop 2 credits in, hit player 2 start. Mario is controlled from the right control panel, once he dies the left control panel will control luigi however pressing down on the joystick does not get registered in the game?? Any ideas?

The DK issue is really odd. I have never heard of anything like that before. I'd look at voltages and maybe try reseating roms or do other simple things first. On your Vs. Super Mario it sounds like your joystick is having issues. Look at the connections and make sure the switch is good for down. Title: Re: PCB Problems! (Donkey Kong and VS. Super Mario Bros.)

Left control panel will control Mario and the down works!!!!? this is really weird. for some reason only in 2 player mode the down does not work? Title: Re: PCB Problems! (Donkey Kong and VS.

Try disconnect and reconnect ??? Sounds really odd Title: Re: PCB Problems! (Donkey Kong and VS. Super Mario Bros.) Post by: godfather on September 25, 2013, 09:21:53 am I am proud to report Donkey Kong is now fully working, seems I had a bad rom set. Seller shipped out new one at his expense. I've installed it and now no more issues.
As for SmB I will try reconnecting everything and see what happens. Title: Re: PCB Problems! (Donkey Kong and VS. Super Mario Bros.)

Title: Re: PCB Problems! (Donkey Kong and VS. Super Mario Bros.) Post by: godfather on October 06, 2013, 01:59:56 pm I really cannot figure out why the machine behaves this way. VS. SUPER MARIO BROS
1. In One player mode i can use either the 1 player or the 2 player controls, no problem everything works, left. right, up, down, b ,a 2. In 2 player mode Mario is controlled by the 2nd player controls(right side) and he is locked out on the left(left control panel). everything works. HOWEVER Luigi plays on the left side control panel and again the right side of the control panel(mario) is locked up. All works on the left side but the "Down". How is this possible, when in 1 player mode everything works?? It's frustrating because i really would liek to get 2 player mode working where Luigi can acually duck and go down tubes! Someone please help!!! :-\ |
