I've got a countertop playchoice 10 game that won't let me reset back to the main selection screen. At first I figured bad microswitch - no problem, right? Well, before I even replaced the switch I stripped the wires and touched the two bare wires together - still no go. I've got good ground everywhere else on the game. Everything else works, it sure is a pain in the ass to have to power off the unit just to play a different game though.

Any thoughts?
 
Thanks Groffdaddy! That did it. Who knew? I don't know why the reset button doesn't work, but for my interests - doesn't matter now! Game on!
 
On some of the older PC-10 main boards when the game is set to free play is when the reset button stops working and you have to use the 2 button trick. This is usually what causes it.
 
Like phalcon said, I believe this happens on older releases of PC-10 Main boards. You can try burning a new 8t from what is currently in MAME.

It would be helpful if you dumped your old one and noted the revision on it. This is a pretty common problem, but because no one has written down the revision and dumped the eprom and sent it to MAME we can't tell you what version has this bug.
