I think the issue might be the test service button now because I managed to get the game to work! But in a weird way
. Remember how the game would only boot with the I/O expansion plugged in? If I take off the I/O expansion when the game is loaded, I can just press the start button and I can play the game normally. But I have to do this everytime I boot up the system, which is a minor annoyance. If i start up the game without the I/O expansion plugged in, it will just boot to the test menu as it did before. So about the start button acting as a coin and start is most likely not at fault. So i think the issue has something to do with the test service button.
Are you always on AIM when you are online? I never use AIM myself, but I checked periodically today to see if you were on and didn't see you online.
The question I was interested in asking is what is the affect of having the I/O board installed. Justin, could you describe in detail having that plugged in and not plugged in has? You told me that with the I/O board installed, the system boots but you can't press start. Without it, it boots to the test menu.
As for this. I'm thinking if the I/O board is plugged it, it probably requires the gun or whatever special equipment it needs to actually press the start button because it seems that a normal joystick doesn't function properly except for the fact that you can use the "coin" feature. I bet if I had a AW gun and have it plugged into the AW, i would be able to get into the game using the gun. Do you understand what i'm trying to get at? I hope so
