SkyFox PCB weird issue

Post by yojo! »

I'm noticing something weird on my SkyFox PCB. With SW1's dipswitch #7 is off , the game plays fine except that the screen is upside down. When I turn it on, the screen is now oriented correctly but Player 1's joystick does not register anymore; instead player 2' joystick now acts as player 1. Can anyone owning the board verify this ? This does not match MAME behavior (where P1 registers regardless of SW1's Dip7 settings) so I am wondering if my PCB is defective...

Cocktail mode, switch on the end next to it.

Tried that and this has no effect on input detection. coin in and start are always detected and joysticks and fire 1 and 2 are not, regardless of dip #8 setting. As soon as I switch dip #7, the joystick registers but the screen is upside down...

Does the adapter have both sets of controls hooked up properly? Photo of PCB?
