Title: PS2 JPAC Issues
Post by: gsoul on December 04, 2005, 06:20:13 pm

I'm having an issue with my JPAC. Not sure if anyone is able to help.

My cabinet is a Mortal Kombat 1 cabinet, that I believe is Jamma+. When I plug in the JPAC the following works.

L Joystick
L Button 1
L Start

R Joystick
R Button 1
R Start

Coin Slot

Anyways, thats all okay, so I solder up a wiring harness and solder it from the buttons to the jpac. Now I can access all the buttons on player 1. Everything is working great.

Anyways, I wired up the wiring harness for player 2 and now when I boot the computer I cannot access anything. The other weird issue is that when I connect the JAMMA harness back to my MK3 board, the block button is continuously on. As soon as I turn the PC on, the block button turns off.

Anyone come across this before? Any advice?

Make sure the buttons are wired to NO, not NC.

And make sure the grounds are correct ...

How should I do that?

All the buttons are wired already, with the buttons that don't work, I've put a wire from BUTTON5 on the jpac, and soldered it to the button (not ground) on the CP. Do I also need to solder a wire from the GROUND on the JPAC to one of the buttons on the CPO?
