Weird Ultimarc Behavior

[MameJunkie]

I was hooking up my modular player 2 controls over the weekend and was having this weird problem.

I have the Mini-PAC and was using the Ctrl-Alt-P notepad for configuration and tesing.  I have no shorts in the wiring and everything tested out okay from the joystick/button to the Mini-PAC.  But my Player 2 Joy Down wasn't working.

In any plan editor, the down registers as a 'g' which is my right, when I use the Ctrl-Alt-P testing mode, anytime I press down, nothing happens.  BUT when I let go, I appears to backspace/delete about a lines worth of characters.

I ended up connecting joy down to P2 Sw7 and just map that to 'f' which is down.  Everything works but its just a strange behavior.

Got to say is again.  Love the Ctrl-Alt-P.  Saved my life many a times. 
GREAT JOB ANDY

unplug from the board and wire it up directly and see if it works regular.

I'm guessing there is a wire problem.  But if you get it working from there, reprogram and try again.
