      I'm in the middle of my 4 player arcade cabinet build, thus far I have only been testing and configuring with pl1 and player 3. I connect joystick and buttons for player 3. All good. The problem started when I connected player 4. As soon as you move the joy stick all the led button lights go out. Player 4 buttons and joystick don't work. The lights come back on when you release the direction on the joystick. So I figure there must be a short in the joystick, control board or somthing. To eliminate possibilities I connected player 1 with all good parts to player 4 joystick problem is present. But now when I conect player 1 joystick back to its controld board and its buttons the problem is now present on player one. So I take everything apart and conect one control board ,one button and one joystick to the pie. Problem is there. Light on button goes out when your push the joystick in any direction. Does not work on screen.
      Anyone have any ideas why and how to fix?
