ikari warriors - better memory

MameMaster said he had the same problems with the Happ joysticks and Druins interface.  In your case, I think you want to flip the cables over.

MameMaster!:

....hmmm...I hadn't even thought about that (that Happ wired them backwards and I had to reverse the connection)....but until I reversed the cable....it didn't work at all....so that fix may not help this guy out.

I'm guessing that since this is an original board...everyone's first guess is correct....he has his wires mixed up elsewhere.

Hmmm.....

 ???

Now I just need to figure out how to get it right.  Is there any possibility the joysticks could be backwards somehow?  I only took the stick out when I mounted it on the control panel, and it doesn't look like there is any 'wrong way' to put it back in.

Guessing, but sounds like every pin except the ground pins are reversed.

Suppose the PCB pins go:

G1234567890ab ("G" = common ground, "0" = pin 10, "a" = pin 11, "b" = pin 12)

My guess is happs pins go:

Gba0987654321

I don't know if happs pins are designed that way, or you have a mis-wired set.  [shrug]  If my guess is right, you can try rewiring.  I don't advise cutting anything yet, though; try to make a temporary adapter first.

Another possibility is happs is NO and the PCB expects NC (or visa versa).  Less likely IMO, though.

sp0rk:

yeah, i've tried 'flipping them over' and they don't even work then.  I think because the ground is in the wrong place.  Well, it works for now, and I don't feel like messing arround with it yet.  I might try to make an adapter first if I can find the parts.  I'd hate to cut into the happs parts. :\

Thanks for your help guys.

daywane:

you should be able to push the pins out from the cable and switch there location.
no cutting . No disassemble as Johny 5 would say  :police:
