Title: having trouble with a pandoras box 4....cant continue
Post by: 800screws on July 06, 2017, 03:53:29 pm
I have a new jamma harness 6 button wired cab....ive been using a game king 2019 in 1 in it with no problems...I just tried a pandoras box 4 645 in 1, and im having trouble continuing...the start button will work for player 2, but not for player one......seems to be on all games. any advice or ideas?

just watched a video about using a blue elf paradise adapter on the pandoras 4, but since I have a newer jamma harness that uses 6 buttons already, this doesn't pertain to me, does it?

Do you have every ground wire run in your harness?  I've read that some of those multi's need every ground pin wired.

I just went and checked........both boards have the same pin layout...I tried it with the elf adapter, still no go....the coin button works and player 1 start works to start the game, but u cant continue with player 1. when it says to continue player 2 will work....im lost.

sounds like more of a programming issue with the pandora's box software more than a wiring issue.  :dunno

sorry no idea. i just buy them and put them in as is.

maybe revert back to stock and see if the stock works properly. maybe your pause feature messed something.
