having prolems with multijamma
jimmah:
My wife got me a multijamma kit for x-mas for my mk cabinet in which will be running all the mk boards. I have yet to get it running, not to much tinkering time with it but none the less can't get anything to work. as of right now I have the master board hooked up and 1 switch board hooked up to test it. I have the jumpers set to 8 games as the manual says to test to make sure everything works right. the problem is no matter how many time I press the switch button nothing happens. the game never seems to get power. the power supply I have has enough specs to power 8 boards if it needed to but I only have it hooked up to 1. any help would be appreciated. ive tried contacting clay a couple different ways and he has not replied.
Spaz Monkey:
Is the power connected to the board you are trying to test and not just to the kit? Is the monitor powered up? Looking at the diagrams, you need to power each PBC.
*Disclaimer: I've never used this product and I am a major n00b on electrical stuff. I am only trying to help*

power is hooked up to both the switch and master board as the manual says. monitor turns on as well but nothing on screen. the manual suggests pressing the button 8-12 times untill you find the board and it lights up but i've sat there for minutes pressing the button and nothing has happened.
CheffoJeffo:
Can I see a pic of your boards (connected, of course) ?
What connection are you using to power the switch board ?
Are your power supplies sharing a common ground ?
Cheers.

I can snap a picture when I get home from work today. I have one power supply hooked up at the moment just to test everything and see how I want to arrange everything. The power supply is not connected to any other grounds and is powering everything via the pc connectors it comes with. Sorry if there's some ignorance with this but I'm new to arcade machines and have quickly become addicted. I appreciate all the help.
