JPac SHIFT Issue
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?
