Player 2 Button Problems, please help, going nuts!

(1/2) > >>

Mikezilla:
I cant get my damn player 2 buttons to work. I got 1 and 2 working, but the rest wont work at all. I have a jamma harness wired to a JPAC, and last night I attempted to wire the buttons to the JPAC. I successfully got all of player one buttons to work, but I couldnt do the same for player 2. Its a typical 6 button setup.You guys got any suggestions why they wouldnt work? Do I need to configure something somewhere else? I tried going through notepad to see if they actually generated key strokes, but alas I got nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

BobA:
Did you check the ground on your player 2 buttons?   Could you have a break in the GND between P2B2 and P2B3?  Are your grounds daisychained?

Mikezilla:
Yeah I checked the grounds and everything works. I go into notepad to see if I can get values for the buttons when I press them, and I do, they just dont work in the games. Should I just go into MAME and change the vales to the controls that populate when I hit the buttons in notepad?

Im not too saavy on this, so forgive my retardation.

I was going on the assumption that they did not work at all.   Go into MAME and see what they are set for in the GENERAL settings.

Mikezilla:
Im sorry, I forgot to edit my original post last night to reflect that they DID generate characters last night in notepad after I reconnected it to the PC. After I did that, it generated the characters.

Thanks BobA I really appreciate you responding to my pleas for help! Its been driving me nuts, this is the last thing I need configured to get my cabinet up and running.
