NFL Blitz 99 --> Sportstation --> Gauntlet Dark Legacy

I have a Gauntlet Dark Legacy board that worked fine in a cab with a standard res monitor and 8 way joysticks. The harness in that game was a midway harness that worked fine with NBA Jam.

I picked up an NFL Blitz 99 and bought a SportStation board. After removing the Blitz 99 board, the Sportstation board hooked up with no issues. The problem is that the Gauntlet board is not working.

I see video and sound and everything, but the joysticks do not work and it acts as if a button is stuck down. I did see a dip switch for switches always open or closed but that did not fix the problem.

When converting from a Sportstation to a Gauntlet Dark Legacy, what do I have to do the get this to work?

On a side note, with only the Jamma connector plugged in, it's doing the same thing. I add a couple credits with the coin mech, it goes right to the character selection screen, and it seems like buttons are registering joystick directions.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
I had this same issue - I think it was because the joystick dip switch setting was set wrong. I think there is a choice for 8way or 49 way. I know it was a dip switch setting that fixed it for me - I just don't remember exactly which one.
 
Thanks for your reply. I got all the buttons working but the joysticks are dead. I don't think my I40 has power. Can you please tell me exactly where the power for the I40 comes from? The manual says from the "main harness" but I put my DMM to the red and black and it's zero. Thanks.
 
I am having a similar problem with my Showtime/Blitz cabinet. My NBA Showtime and Blitz99 boards are not working, so I installed Wayne Gretzky 3D Hockey in that cab, using the Showtime harness. The game runs, but there seems to be no power getting to the I-40 controller adapter. The buttons and 49way joysticks do not function. Did you ever resolve your problem?

You don't need an I40 for GDL. The power for the joysticks comes from the main harness and into the CP harness.
