    Flappy Birds with 42" LCD seems like a A/D board issue? Thoughts on WGF4259-SFES16C Wells Gardner LCD Monitor issues..

    Verify power supply voltages under load. That can give odd monitor behavior. Testing with a different power supply is what I would do.

    Control question on JAMMA switched cabinet

    I have always found it better to make the board work with the cabinet, not the cabinet work with the board, especially when using a switcher system. JAMMA standard is just 3 buttons rather than 4, so fingers crossed op's setup has that 4th wire.

    Control question on JAMMA switched cabinet

    how are you connecting the smash tv to the ez switcher? I am assuming EZ game interface Jamma? What i have done with many of my EZ game interfaces is I have cut the traces to remap any way I needed. Could also use the EZ any game interface, but I have found cutting traces and remapping is...

    I would go with a hdmi to vga adapter then use something like GBS Control to downscale.

    Stern Tazz Mania Pinout and Level Jump Cheat

    Looking at the one that @VectorCollector posted so many years ago, looks like he had parts and solder flipped :) I dug through all sorts of stern hardware similar manuals and didn't see any reference to the rack mode :)

    Stern Tazz Mania Pinout and Level Jump Cheat

    Ah, setup-wise, player 2 controls shouldn't be hooked up for upright mode. I have read documentation somewhere for rack mode. Maybe another manual for a stern-like game. Found the mame note: "- In Tazmania, when set to Upright mode, player 2 left skips the current level."

    are you sure you got the pinout correct? I'll check the manual but there is a rack mode that uses service or test plus button. I had a pickle of a time making a jamma adapter for my Tazz pcb a few years ago and also ran into what I felt was undocumented territory :)
