Anyone else have Ikari Warriors? I need someone to see if they can replicate what seems like a bug to me...

1) Start a 2-player game.
2) Score high enough to make the high-score table with Player 2 (doesn't matter about PL1)
3) Try entering your initials (as player 2).

On mine, I can scroll thru the alphabet with the joystick, but cannot select the letter... with the PL2 buttons. However, the player-1 fire button DOES select letters.

Can anyone else duplicate this behavior?
 
I just tried this and I was able to enter my initials as normal. Is your Ikari Warriors boardset the SNK 44-pin version or the JAMMA version? Mine is the more common SNK 44-pin version.

Dump the roms and play in mame to see if it is actually a bug or hardware problem.

I have the JAMMA version.

I just played both versions (with ROMs found on the 'net), "ikari.zip" (which is the JAMMA version), and "ikaria.zip" (the non-JAMMA version). I was able to duplicate the issue on with ikari.zip, but was able to enter initials fine with ikaria.zip...

I have the JAMMA version board, but I dont have a Rotary Joystick so no go for me :( sorry.

Bah. The lowest default high-score is 20000. You can score 20k facing forward the whole time... That's how I just played it in mame... on a laptop keyboard :p
 
I can confirm that it happens in MAME with ikari.zip. So evidently this is a bug with the JAMMA version of the game only, which is weird. I think they did make some actual code changes for the JAMMA version though, because if I remember right, I can't enable continues on my boardset, even though there is a dipswitch setting for it. I'll have to get ahold of ikaria.zip and see if continues can be enabled on it. I know that continues can be enabled in the JAMMA version.

Want to sell it? I would like to have a backup boardset for my Ikari Warriors machine.
