Finally got my Blitz 2000 Gold up and running, and I'm having an issue with the coin slots and cmos.
The PCB works fine - no errors on boot or in any tests. 20 gb Western Digital HD works fine.
This is an NBA Jam TE Cab that was converted to NHL Open Ice.
First, the Coin Slots:
The coin slots only work when i use my monitor discharging cable...by attaching on end to a ground, and short out the coin mech.
Does this just mean that the coin slot mechanism are not grounded? I thought that all Jamma cab coin slots were basically the same?
CMOS
The board will not recognize dip switch settings for "Free Play". When I set the switches on free play and enter the config screen, it correctly reports that the DIP Switch settings for coinage are active, and even says CMOS Coinage disabled.
When I go back to the game, it prompts me to put in some quarters.
When I reset all the dip switch settings to default, and try to set up Free Play in the CMOS, I get this:
"The CMOS setting of free play is invalid"
"resetting to free play off"
I get this same basic error message when I try to enable language, violence, along with a bunch of other settings...including "Restore Factory Settings". It basically says "(whatever setting) Failed"
All the other tests - hd, pcb, control panel, etc..all work fine...
I replaced the CMOS battery, and reset the CMOS (i think) by using a jumper on the board that is near all the CMOS stuff.
I know that firefgtn8 had a similar issue, but he didn't mention if it ever got it working.
Has anyone else seen this issue? Does anyone have Blitz 2000 (Gold), who can look at their board and see if there are any jumpers plugged in to the board? Mine doesn't have any...
As always, I appreciate all the help.
