In Reply to: Help.. my machine is all messed up. posted by Chad Day on 12, 2001 at 7:20 PM:
For the Start 2 problem check to see if ArcadeOS is not Locked. It will have L displayed at the
top. To Lock/Unlock ArcadeOS press L.
Having ArcadeOS locked stops the menu coming up
by pressing 2.

: That'll teach me to leave the machine unguarded during a party... drunken puzzle bobble.. mmm
: Anyway, several problems with the machine now. The player 2 start button in arcadeOS no longer brings up the menu .. but if i drop to a dos shell, I can see the button is still working, so it's not broken or anything.. and if I go into a game, start1+start2 still escapes me out of it. I checked the arcadeos.cfg file, and it looks right (start2=3) .. I can't imagine what the problem is.
: Even more disturbing is a large portion of my games aren't running now.. it loads all the files required, and I'll get a black screen with about 7 2 inch high garbage characters centered on it, rapidly blinking for about 3-4 seconds, then it hops back into the arcadeos menu. I have the default game resolution for arcadeos set to normal, and i've tried altering the res for the specific games themselves, but it doesn't seem to work.
: Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? I'm guessing one of my drunken friends stumbled into a menu and changed a setting or two by accident, but I don't know where to begin to look.
: Any help is GREATLY appreciated... throwing a big NYE party, I'd really like to have this thing back to 100% before then. :)
