Problem with Happ Super Joystick
dexterclaire:
Hi!
I totally rewired the control panel of my three-year-old mame cab yesterday, and everything worked fine until tonight. When I click the joystick 'right', the corresponding microswitch registers two keystrokes. It registers one when the microswitch is pressed, and one when the switch is released. This seems to totally confuse mame, so I'm thinking i need to replace the switch. Has this happened to anyone else? Up, left, and down all register just one keystroke.

Sounds like a bad microswitch. Just change it out and your problem should go away.

1st rule of data-comm: check the cable! Sounds like you wired to the NO and NC instead of the NO and GRND! Thoughts?

Bill Mote:
Well?! Did you fix it?!

I swapped out one of the microswitches from the Player 2 stick into the one in question on the Player 1 stick, and it works fine, so yeah it's just a bad switch. I emailed happ about it and they're sending me a couple of replacements free of charge. Nice folks they are!
