So I purchased an arcade cab running an older Pandora's box. The player buttons are unresponsive,except to access the setup menu. The joysticks are working as they should. I can get to the menu, but no buttons work to select the options. I think the buttons mapping has been cleared. Does anyone know a way to get back in and set up the buttons. Box is older, no usb etc...

It’s more likely that the ground chain is broken between the joysticks and buttons.

Odd for sure. I have a bunch of Pandora boxes lol. At least 5 or 6. Some JAMMA, some not. Some CRT compatible, others VGA and/or HDMI. Never had one that didn’t recognize buttons at all. Did you try P2 joystick and buttons as well?

Hey....yes I did...I press the start button, to access the setup menu after it loads. The joysticks allows me to scroll through the options, but no buttons seem to work to select any of them...I'm wondering if I put the SD card in a reader, if the keyboard will work to access it?....or possibly it has been set up with a hotkey combo that I haven't discovered yet...lol... appreciate the input...
