Wierd joystick issue..Need help please

I wonder if there is a way to rig the x arcade so that you dont have to push that load button.

postmortem:

make sure numlock/scroll lock isnt on, try resetting the direction inputs on ur frontend. make sure the xarcade is mode 1 and make sure the little red light is on. I know if you use a psx adapter with the xarcade there is a way to switch from the playstation dpad to the analog and that will make it not work for games. there is a button combo to toggle it. on my machine its coin insert + (what would be on street fighter) weak punch.

How would any emu settings effect it failing the x-arcade test/note pad test? I have it in mode 1 all the time..i wonder if something is wrong with my mame pc? But what wierd issues would make up not work? Which by default is mapped to number 8...this is seriously on odd problem..i wonder if theres some windows key settings that got messed up somehow? Idk.. Sigh more input guys ill try everything..thanks everyone

severdhed:

this is pretty weird that it works fine on one pc and not the other.  are you positive you dont have an autohotkey script or something like that still running on that PC?    this might be more than you are willing to try, but what about booting your arcade cab pc off of a live linux cd?  you could then bring up a text editor and see if it responds in there, which would eliminate any software issues on your mame pc.

could it be a loose connection at that switch?  or even a switch going bad?  perhaps in moving it to the other pc, it moved into the right position and worked it's way loose when you moved it back.....i know it is a long shot.  what if you open it up and pull the wires off of that switch and just touch them together...does it work then? 

also, did you look closely at the wiring inside the x-arcade?  make sure all of those wire harnesses are fully connected at the pcb.  also check the wires at the sliding switch...i had one of those wires come loose one time and it caused some weird problems with my xarcade.
