Reset Switch

[bigal6450]

I have a old galaga cockatail table which was convereted to a 48 and one multicade.  Is there a way to instal a reset button?  I have already installed an on off switch but would like a reset button.

Is the On/Off switch you installed a latching two position switch?  If it is a reset button would be as simple as a NC (Normally Closed) momentary switch placed in line with your power switch.

To reset what exactly? The multi-boards have a built in reset already. I'm not sure exactly what buttons to push. It's the 48-in-1, yes?

If i am playing a game and I want to go back to the main menu,  I installed a simple toggle switch to control the on/off

So you are having to wait for the whole boot up sequence again ?

You need to read what people write. On/Off is probably the worst solution. Like I ALREADY SAID, if you are talking about one of those 48-in-1, or 60-in-1 THERE IS ALREADY A WAY TO GO BACK TO THE MENU!!!

I don't think there is a way to get back while a game is active, which is what I think he wants.

I'll confirm this soon enough. It would really surprise me if the "Test" or "Service" switches did nothing even with a game in play.

Even if that were true... how hard is it to kill off a few lives to end the game??

The reason I'm strongly reacting here is that frequent on/off could be "hard" on the electricals and could eventually lead to damage from a spike. But it's hard to tell what the guy's set up is cuz he doesn't answer questions from people trying to help him.

I am definitely +1 about the powering cycling.

I tried both Test and Service on my 48-in-1 and 60-in-1 last night to no avail.

if I get bored of a game, I either tank the remaining lives or walk over to another machine and play there until the first game is over.

So nothing is mapped to the escape key on those mame on chips?

No escape key in the JAMMA standard.
