I have a Ninja Gaiden that goes into a quick test mode on power up but I have not discovered how to keep it in test long enough to manually test the switches. This is a conversion, if that helps. I can't find anything in the dipswitches nor can I find a switch in the cabinet or on the board. Anybody know how to get one of these into test mode? Thanks.
 
It's a JAMMA board. Do you have a test switch hooked up? Is it a slide or push buton?
 
I must have been having an "old age" moment.... I guess since it's JAMMA, I can hook up a test switch to the board connector. Thanks for the prod in the right direction (if this is correct!).
 
I think this game needed a "maintained" contact test switch and not a momentary pushbutton.

If I recall correctly (we had about ten of these games on our route back then) during the power up of the machine you push and hold both start buttons to stay in test mode. Either that or it was both fire buttons. Anyway what ever it was, it was not mentioned in the manual and I discovered it myself.
