look closely at the cable...
Some have a little plastic pin stuck in there that you can remove with an Xacto knife... other it's molded closed.
On the ones that are molded closed you can use a tiny tiny drill bit and fix that.
That pin isn't used so it doesn't matter if you drill out the hole.

if he cant figure which pin on the motherboard to snap off.... then he needs to back away from arcade stuff in general and get himself a rombox. lmao
after he snaps off the right pin and files down the nub left he can use standard cables for now on. no need to modify any more ide cables ever again.

Got things under control 
Just bent the pin on the board, and the game fired right up. Got some adjustments that need to be done to it (gotta oil the wheel, and adjust the monitor), but thats all minor things. The game did reset, but Ive got another HDD to try, on top of plugging in this big fan again (it was loud). But so far, so good
