I installed a Blitz 2000 board into a Blitz 99 cabinet. The first time I powered up, everything booted and ran fine, but some controls and buttons did not work. I shutdown and changed a dipswitch (i followed Blitz99's setting) to enable 49-way controllers. I powered up again, and my screen is messed up. Now I cannot get the screen back to the way it was originally set...see pic. Anybody know the DS settings for Blitz 2K? I assume they are same as Blitz 99??

You hit the wrong dip switch.
Looks liked you switched the resolution from low to high or vice versa.
 
I'm S.O.L. until I find the proper dipswitch settings... I can't find anything technical online about the 2K version.
 
the link says no settings can be found. My switches are currently set to Blitz 99's default. Not all are off.
 
well on the Blitz manual I have it has U8 Bank of switches as
SW1 49way sticks ON
SW2 Std Res ON
SW3 Std Res OFF
SW4 GFX Speed OFF
SW5 GFX Speed OFF

and as Blitz, 99 and 2k all use the same seattle board

what do you have yours set to?
 
I tried all 8 combinations of graphics settings. Currently, bank#2 (U9) is set at default: Sw2-off, sw3-on sw4-off, sw5-off

so, graphic mode is 512x385 @ 25KHz, speed 51MHz
 
Thanks Mick! I set up the switches how you showed, now it's working. Now I need to get my CP working.
 
glad that worked, and you have 49way sticks? and you do have the I40 board and all wiring? I have spare I40 boards if you find yours is dead????
 
My I-40 is good and I have a spare. All my switches need to be replaced though. I replaced the player 1 switches and they work fine now.
 
Where's a good place to buy Cherry switches? I need 16 of them.
 
I probably have a load off old buttons and the like if that helps? i can send them to you? or Twistedquarter.com, eBay, Tornado Terrys site (which for life of me dont know!)
 
I can always use more buttons and switches. So far I only found one good switch out of the 16 on my control panel. I'm resurrecting this 4 player CP from the dead.
 
Just an update... My Blitz game and all buttons/joysticks are now working!
