I have a Multi Williams (Clay Cowgill) installed. Recently its had a few problems which I have been working on and at one point I was in the setup menu and selected Robotron as the default game. Now whenever I use the regular reset button combo (1 and 2 player start together) it simply reboots robotron and doesnt enter the setup/game menu.

Any idea how I can get this back to the expected behaviour? Is there a different button combination I need to use to return to the main game select menu?
 
The "Set Default Game" menu allows you to force the Williams Multigame to always start-up with a particular game selected. The menu will not be seen, and resetting the machine by pressing P1 and P2 Start simultaneously will just reset the game. In this mode, the game will appear to be a dedicated cabinet without the Multigame installed. By default, the "Menu System" is the default, but if you choose another game you will not be able to see the menu on power-up. To get the "Setup" menu back, you need to set the "Auto/Up" switch on (up position) your game and reset the machine (Press P1 and P2 start simultaneously). That will enable the "Setup" menu again. You must select the "EXIT MENU" item to exit this menu.
 
Dokert is simply regurgitating what is in the manual:

The simple answer is that you can't have Clay's multi boot to a particular game AND have access to the game select menu, which is unfortunate. JROK's Multi-WMS does not have this shortcoming.

Yes

Yes, you can boot to a particular game and still have access to the menu with Clay's kit.
 
No, not without opening the coin door and undoing the default boot setting.

Could have sworn it had that feature, but I guess it doesn't after all. Gave me reason to go fix mine. It went down over the holidays. Bad wire on the trans making the sound go crazy.
