JPac SHIFT Issue

Pages: << < (2/3) > >>

rpgposer:

Thanks Jim Jelly.  If it does this again after further testing, I'll take your advice.

FrizzleFried:

I use MAMEWAH... I have an extra button that I currently use for PAUSE... but it's in a spot right north of the trackball and gets bumped from time to time.  I much prefer to use the P1 START + P2 START option if at all possible but this happens EVERY time I use the MAME cabinet if I play more than a game or two...

It's getting old...



AndyWarne:


This would be caused by a switch becoming stuck closed. Usual suspects are the coin door switch or cabinet service switch, "door open" switch etc.

rpgposer:

You heard the man... take those buttons apart and clean the petrified cola out of them.

This is what I was told before... however, a reboot fixes the issue for a while until it happens again... then a reboot fixes the issue again?   It seems to me that if it was a stuck button,  it would be consistent.  It would also seem to me that most stuck buttons can be seen when writing a text file... but none are showing up (but again, not a fool-proof test)...

I've double...triple...quadruple checked my buttons and they are all fine.  I don't have a coin door switch... no service switch... etc... plus,  like I said,  it works fine every reboot for a certain number of games/button pushes...  Am I wrong to assume that if it was a stuck button the issue would present itself immediately upon boot up?

EDIT: Can anyone suggest a program for checking all button inputs?
