wwf superstars not working in street smart cabinet jamma

[mrcram]

for some reason, I cannot get wwf superstars to work in my street smart cabinet.  street smart will work but when I put in wwf superstars, it stays frozen with a half image of the FBI dont do drugs screen.  But wwf superstars works perfect in my mortal kombat 3 cabinet and final fight cabinet, so what is the deal? Can anyone help me with this. Thank you.

You should *never* just "mess" with the +5V adjustment.  Get a multimeter.  Set it to measure DC voltage.  First check the voltage @ the power supply.  It should be in the 5V range.  Then measure the voltage at the JAMMA harness, WITHOUT THE GAME BOARD PLUGGED INTO IT.  It should be ~5.18V.

Clean the edge connector on the JAMMA connector with an pink (not white) eraser, or 99% alcohol with a cotton swab.

Reseat the socketed chips on the board by *gently* pulling them - just a hair - and pressing them back into their sockets.  If you want to go the super extra mile, you can pull them altogether and clean the legs VERY CAREFULLY.

After verifying these voltages, and cleaning the board in the manner described above, THEN plug your board in, and measure the voltage.  Measure on a chip if you can (diaganol pins to each other, make sure you don't bridge other pins!) and adjust the voltage as necessary.  If there is a socket without a chip in it, this is a perfect place to verify the voltage.

I just wanted him to answer the question. I hate when people post for help and then completely ignore the suggestions made.

Agreed.  But if he's going to do this, he should do it correctly.  Otherwise, it's for naught.

I did try switch the +5 and now the wwf superstars board comes up all scrambled.  I shouldnt of messed with it without a volt meter but thank you.  wwf superstars is gone 

[SirPeale]

It may not be totally gone.  You may have the voltage way off, and it could be causing problems.  Correct your voltage and try again.

... but use a volt meter, otherwise you will not know what the voltage is.
