I have a 4 player Blitz/Showtime midway game.

The vegas boardset that was in it before stopped booting, and I picked up another one.

After installing the new boardset, the game comes up fine. All buttons work, but none of the 4 joysticks work at all.

I do have 1 connector pictured below that I can't find a home for, maybe this is the cause?

Anyone with one of these cabinets know where this connector goes?

Thanks!
Walt

I had a similar issue when I had a Blitz. The problem was the dipswitches were set to 8 way sticks instead of 49 way.

Or you could have a bad I40 board.
 
Yup! Set your dipswitches like your old board were set.

Also the I40 board has a fuse on the wire next to it, check that.

Not sure about the extra connector, but Midway was using some generic harnesses there for a while with all kinds of extra shit on them. So it very well could have never hooked up to anything.
