Is there a test board ***update*** found one!

mvsfan:

first thing to do is figure out the pinout of the board you are trying to find out the controls for.

next thing would be to follow the wires from that board to each button, and you have your answer.

otherwise you will have to trace each wire from each button and figure out where it goes.

if somebody has already taken it apart and messed with it or worse, cut the harness, you could take a multimeter and set it to ohms and ohm out the wires one by one.



mvsfan:

let me update this what i mean by using a mm is when someone has cut and spliced wires using different colors and such and you cant really tell whats what from your cp to the end of the wire anymore. in other words its a mess. but if wires are still cut and havent been spliced back somewhere, you wont get a sound out of it.

glad you asked, i had a program that did this years ago.. but i dunno what i did with it and dont remember the name.

so i went looking and found this http://www.brothersoft.com/keyboard-199795.html
very small, and this looks to be nicer then the one i had years ago..

writen by a guy named jason hood, http://www.geocities.com/jadoxa

his website is on geocities which is getting shut down in a few months.
looks like he has a lot of cool software but i did'nt see his keyboard program for down there for some reason.

it runs fine in winxp, i believe it's dos compatible, but i have'nt tried it out.

i've attached a copy here for convenience.

my anti virus (norton june 21st definitions) says it's clean.. but you might wanna run it as a low level user just in case.


for controllers you can go to the control panel (windows), and select gaming controllers, you'll see a list of controllers open the one you want to test by double clicking on it, you'll see all buttons and axis for it, can't test rumble feature this way but i doubt you care about that.

I use Darkstalkers for mine.  It tests 2 coins, sticks, 6 buttons, p1/2, and menu and test.
