Help!? Jawhn's Vs. Super Mario Bros. cab control panel wiring problem
Ok, the Nintendo Vs. Super Mario Bros. game I bought about a week ago... It's the most-finished project I ever purchased so far... Screen is a little fuzzy and discolored, but highly playable. It boots. Sound works. Life is mostly good.
The wiring on the control panel is wack, however. The only buttons that work at the moment are: 1up start, 2up start, and Player 1 Jump. And the P1 jump used to be the Player 2 secondary button, so I just moved the leads. And also, if I move the joystick, nothing. In any direction. But. If I jump, I can jump left or right. And when I've picked up a mushroom, and Mario gets 2x big, when he jumps, he is jumping while squatting. I don't know if this helps figure out what's wack or not...
This is my first Vs. system BTW.
There are two cable bundles / plugs coming to the CP. Is it safe to assume that one is for P1, and the other P2? Or no? One set has a Black cable for the common ground, and the other cable set uses a funky off-green/dark teal for ground.
Orynk Zinko (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) sent me a link for a Vs. schematic, but there is no mention of wire colors...
What is the best way to ask for advice on here?
Thanks in advance for help!

- Please take a good, high-res pic of the wiring of your Vs. SMB control panel?
- Please write down what color wire(s) go to your P1 jump, up, etc?
Thanks in advance for help!
