Hey all,
Here's the current situation. Although I think the board may have problems with it to begin with since there was no sound...
Yesterday I canabalized some wires from control player 1 to use as extra ground wires. I tied 7 altogether onto one ground wire. I then put those little crimpers on them and properly connected them to my joystick. Joystick control on the top goldish connecter, ground on the bottom greyish one.
I powered up TMNT 1 yesterday wich had no sound but otherwise worked. A few seconds after power up and I heard an electrical buzzing noise. Then a pop and smoke. This little section of the board went up in a puff.

Any ideas? All the wires are the same, so they SHOULD be able to be used as an extender for a ground wire, right?
Now I'm afraid to plug it in to my 100% working board for fear of the same issue. Any help for further blunder preventions is appreciated
