Newbie wants to know how do you put the CPS1 into setup mode to change skill level, coin credits, buttons config etc. My technician show me once before but i forgot where to put the ground wire on the board to get it in config mode.
 
Welcome to the boards.

The EX 2 manual is here:
http://tamdb.net/index.php?page=Manuals&PHPSESSID=34a8cccfc7c382291bf69896585c5ec2&lettre=S

Looks like the test menu connection is pin 15 component side on the jamma harness. The idea of putting a ground wire on a board to do that makes me twitch, way too easy to screw something up. Best method would be to run that line and a ground line into a button/switch/whatever as shown in the operator manual, that way you can mount the button inside the coin door and you won't have to go around back and poke at the board with a wire.
 
test mode for CPS SF EX2

Ok i looked at the manual for CPS1 SF EX2. All do is take the Brown wire that is connect to the Jamma harness number15 and put it to a ground on the Jamma harness number '1' or '2' or '27' etc.. Am i reading the table right to put the CPS1 in setup mode.
 
I'm highly confused here. EX 2 wasn't a CPS1 game.

at any rate, with any JAMMA game, the test switch is pin 15 on the Parts side (meaning the "top" of the system board, as opposed to the Solder side which is the "bottom")

if you want a cheap way to rig up a button for it, you could just take a regular pushbutton microswitch and run the Test wire from JAMMA pin 15 to the NO (normally open) contact on the microswitch, and place a black Ground wire on the COM (common) contact.

the COM is almost always the bottom contact (the one shaped like an L) and the NO is usually the middle one, with the NC being the top one.


once you wire this up, just press the switch, and you'll be in Test mode.

otherwise, an even cheaper, but temporary, approach would be to just touch the Test and Ground wires together (hot wiring!) but that's kind of bootleg. if you want a more permanent solution for your cab then come back to us. :D
 
thanks for your for the info. but is there any other manual that is in english

Not sure what you mean, "Street Fighter EX 2 [Capcom] (Operator's) (U)" is in English, same one that Oryk linked.

Also, though the manual lists a specific color for the wiring, the actual wire in your cabinet coming from 15 may not be brown. Could be that brown wire was used for a different pin, so make sure to double check the actual pin instead of just grabbing the first brown wire you see when connecting it to a switch. Sort of "measure twice, cut once" but with wires. :)
 
Try flipping all the dips and power it up... See if it throws it into test mode.
 
This is a real dump question but i look at the jamma harness and the PCB and i did not see any numbers or letters on either the harness or the PCB.
So my question is: which end of the PCB edge connect i starting counting from to get the 15th pin
 
the way how I remember it is as follows:

at one end, you'll find some thicker black, red and yellow sets of wires. these are the power ones, A|1, B|2, C|3 etc. you can also tell by the notch in the JAMMA edge, the first 6 columns of pins are for said power wiring (2 grounds in a column, 2 +5's in a column, 1 column of -5, and the last column is for the yellow +12V wires) ... you'll then observe that the JAMMA harness has a plastic "key" in the H|7 column. from there just count over 8 columns, and that'll be your 15 Test wire.

I admit I cheated and read this: http://www.jammaboards.com/jcenter_jamma_pinout.html :)

but that's generally how I remember which orientation the JAMMA harness goes on, the power wiring goes on the end where the notch is. it's also worth noting, if you haven't figured this out yet, that if you're facing the JAMMA edge from behind with the power wiring on the left hand side, the top row of pins is the "Parts" side, and the bottom row is the "Solder" side.

in this picture, this would be the "Parts" side

just pretend that the whole thing is rotated 180 degrees.

on that particular harness, it's the "orange" wire just past the video signal wiring.
