Need help with an Xmen 4 player cabinet

I have an original Xmen 4 player cab, the sound was bad so I ordered a replacement board on ebay.  The new board works, but it says to "press start".  I have no start buttons, I am wondering if this could be a 2 player version of the game?  Can I swap the roms from my original board to the new one?  Should I?  My original board says version UBB, the replacement says version AEA. 

PL1:

Press Button 1 (Attack) -- that should work as start.   :cheers:

UBB and AEA are both 4-player versions, not sure what the exact differences are, probably geographic region.

EDIT: UBB confirmed as the U.S. version and AEA appears to be an Asian or Australian version.   :dunno

I tried the attack button and no dice.  Also, the third and fourth joysticks and coin doors are not active.  I put this board in a regular jamma cabinet with 2 joysticks, and it works perfect.  You put in a quarter, and you can use the joystick to select any player and press start.  In my 4p xmen cab, it does not work at all. i have attached the i/o check screen from my original board, it has the check feature for all 4 coin slots.  On the AEA board, it only shows 2.  I am thinking this board was possibly converted to a 2p. 

Malenko:

I believe you need to go into the test menu and change the settings to 4 player, there arent any hardware dipswitches on the board.

That was my first instinct as well, but there is no option to change it listed, so that is out.  I personally think there is probably a different rom on the board for 2p vs 4p, i will do some more research.
