    VIDEO-PINBALL INTERFACE TEST

    For this test, the joystick must be disconnected and the 6-pin Molex test jack connected in its place. This jack simply simulates the permanent closure of the 4 joystick switches (one can be be easily made up if it is missing from your game). (NOTE: There must be at least 1 credit on the game before the test can be initiated.)

    1. Turn dip switches 6, 7 and 8 located on the A1 Control board (Pinball CPU) to the ON position.
    2. Remove the front moulding (lockdown bar with joystick) and disconnect the joystick plug/jack A9-P1 / A9-J1.
    3. Insert the test jack into the A9-P1 plug in place of the joystick.
    4. Press the reset button on the front door to initiate the test. (The test may start without you doing this.)
    5. Observe the information displayed on the video screen and compare it to the diagram below.

    The interface test consists of 3 parts:
    PART I - RAM and Video board checks/PROM checksums.
    PART II - Lamp and player data.
    PART III - Full intensity colour checks.

    PART I - Part I of the interface test checks the RAMS on the I/O board and the Video boards. The tests are pass/fail and will appear as either "OK" for pass, or "NO" for a failure.

    If the RAM check comes up "NO", the faulty board is most likely the I/O RAM board. If the Video check comes up "NO", the faulty board will most likely be the Video 3 board.

    The checksums are for U1-U4 on the EPROM board. The checksum numbers are not indicated on the diagaram abvove but will appear on the screen.

    PART II - Part II checks the lamps L4-L7 and L12-L16. The codes are sequentially sent from the pinball to the video portion and are displayed A B C....M N O. They must be displayed in that order. Refer to Chart 1 for binary information and code explanations. The player lines are similarly verified.

    The video section then exercises the lines back to the pinball via the switch matrix. This part of the test is displayed in the "Ball in Play" window in the lightbox. Refer to Chart 2 for binary information and code explanations. The codes sent are:

  • Strobe 0, Returns 0-6 (00 06)
  • Strobe 1, Returns 0-5 (10 15)

    Upon completion of this test, if the joystick test jack is still connected, the test will cycle through Parts I, II and III continuously.

    Part III - Part III is located on the bottom portion of the screen and consists of the 4 colour boxes. They are full intensity colour of red, green, blue and white.

    NOTE: When the test is completed, do not forget to turn off switches 6, 7 and 8 on the A1 Control board.
