strange problem with 96-in-1 multipac (with screenshot)

Hi,

I have a cocktail table with the 96-in-1 multipac board. It's worked fine for many months, but now when I turn it on:

1. I get the splash screen. Click a player button.
2. See the menu of 96 games. Choose one and click player button.
3. No matter which game I choose, I always see the attached screen. Moving the joystick and pressing the player buttons results in various game sounds.

It seems like I'm in some kind of debug mode. But I haven't changed any dip switches or opened the machine in months. The only way out of this screen is to power off.

Help!

That screen appears when the game is in test mode. If you have a test switch try toggling it. If the switch is working ok then there may be a board problem which makes the game think it is in test mode. One way to debug this is to remove the 96 in 1 and reinstall the original romset. If the board still does the same thing, then you know it's not the 96 in 1.
