board swap question

Pages: << < (2/3) > >>

dndcollect:

i'll post pics soon. in the mean time i have a question:

it says in the manuel to press "Test SW" or "Service SW" and then power on to get into the system set up.

What is "Test SW" or "Service SW"?

I cant find this anywhere.

spacies:

Test SW and Service SW *edit* ARE switches.

Check your wiring loom and see if there is any wires attached to pin 15 on the parts side or 14 ( N ) on the solder side on the PCB. OIf there are follow them and they should lead to a button/switch.

If not, you will have to attach some.

When you have some, hold the test button down and then turn the machine on. That will take you to the setup mode.
Use Test to advance to the next screen and service to go back.

Since your joysticks and buttons aren't working you can't do much until they are because they are needed to make changes in the menu.

ok i figured this part out. now i can add credits and get the joystick to work. however when i play a game like galaga i can move, but i can shoot.

i have a pacman set up with one joystick and 2 1player 2player buttons.

any ideas on how i can get this to fire?

i am assuming this is why i cant enter the set up screen.

Ah, now I see,

If thats all the buttons you have on your panel then you need to make them your fire/jump buttons also.

Run wires from the microswitches on those button to pins 22 and 23 on your Jamma connector for SW1 (fire)  and SW2 ( jump) on the parts side. Link the earths to the existing earths on the microswitches.

You still need to have the test and service buttons to enter the menu.

You could add some more buttons to you panel but if its a genuine Pacman then you prob dont want to do that.




dndcollect:

that sounds fine. i am a total newb, is there anywhere i can get info on how to do this?
