412-in-1 Game Elf review
EarlFuzzy:
Hope that someone is still watching this! I installed this board in my cocktail style Ms. Pac-Man cabinet. Everything is working perfectly, except when I hold down the Player 1 button for 3 seconds to exit a game, nothing happens. I also tried the Player 1 D button, nothing. Both buttons work fine for all other purposes... Any ideas? :hissy:

It sounds like maybe you have a stuck button?
First, obviously make sure that your wiring is all correct. Specifically that you don't have a stuck button or a button wired NC when it should be NO. I don't recall if these have a way to test inputs or not but if they do start there.
Hold down S1 on boot and go in to config menu. Do a factory reset. Then go back in and configure for cocktail
If that doesn't work then make sure that your JAMMA harness matches the pinout for the Elf board and specifically that pin 27 on solder and parts side is NOT wired to ground.
If that doesn't work, get another board.
Good luck.

In regards to button not working. Make sure the button is hooked up correctly. I messed up my player1 switch when doing some rewire and ran into this problem.
On the switch There are 3 prongs, the ground is at the top. Make sure you have the positive connected to
The prong closest to grd. The other switch it will still work but have a different effect. Connecting to the wrong prong the circuit remains always closed. When you press the button it opens the circuit, when you release it, it gives you a credit. However the 3 second feature won't work. This seems obvious but I ran accoss several people who made this same mistake.

You cant always tell by the position of the tabs -- check the markings on the switch.
Use the NO (Normally Open) and COM (Common) tabs, not the NC. (Normally Closed)
If you get a switch that isn't clearly marked, use a multimeter to check for continuity between COM and NO when the switch is pushed and an open when it isn't pushed. ;D

Hello all, I am new to the forum and hope someone can help me out with a question. I bought a 60 in 1 multicade upright machine. I am thinking about upgrading to the 412 in 1 and was wondering if anyone knows if Tempest will work with a trackball. My unit has a trackball and 1 and 2 player joysticks and buttons. Also does anyone know how Qbert plays? Is it worth it to upgrade for 2 games? Thanks everyone.
