I think the PCB is good. I have isolated the issue to J4 and not either PCB. I may spring for the new Tank Stick as I have a birthday coming up in June if I can't get it fixed.

I figured it out. Each emulator, be it MAME, DAPHNE or others later added, have the path I noted earlier for the Video Themes and Video Backgrounds: What you will need to do is point the Video Background path to the video with the arcade machines: - Find the video bak.mp4 located under \GameEx Arcade Edition\Themes\Draconus\MEDIA\ - Since MAME requires a video of the same name as the system, copy bak.mp4 and paste it to D:\MAME0217\Video Background and rename it to MAME.mp4 This should fix the issue. Please let us know if this resolves the issue. Thanks!

I'll see if I can replicate this behavior as it does not appear to me to be correct if it is scrolling the logo across the background at first then not when you exit the game page back to the menu.

- Open your gameex.ini file in a text editor. - Locate Enablepopupdescriptions=True and change True to False - save the file then launch GameEx This should remove the pop-up text at the botyom of the screen as you page through the games. Let us know if this resolves the issue reported.

The repeating logos in the background moving diagonally from right to left is the same issue you reported here: Have you installed any video's in your videosnap path?

Located under \config.

Image/video names must match the ROM names. If there is more than one ROM for the game, there must be a separate image or video named the same as the ROM.

You may want to provide a screen capture as this does not make sense to me. Additionally, requests for Features or Enhancements should be added to this thread:

It would help if you had a membership at emumovies.com as they are the best centralized source for various image and video files for arcade and emulated systems. Once there, you can download (FTP recommended) to download the MAME HD video themes by CriticalCid and save them to wherever you have set your Video Theme Path. The Video Background path is reserved for a default system video. You will also want to download Video Snaps to your Video Snap Path. This will allow GameEx to automatically create on the fly video theme backgrounds (AKA Dynamic Video Themes) to fill in where the CriticalCid and similar theme videos are missing. To round out your experience, you can replace the text in the MAME games menu with corresponding logos (again, saved to your logo path. Video Themes demo: Dynamic Video Themes demo:

Please attach copies (no copy & paste of the contents) of your gameex.ini and log.txt files. Thank you.

You don't, it is hard-coded into the Attract Mode. If you want to request a change, Requests for Features or Enhancements should be added to this thread:

You cannot remove them. It is sort of a placeholder that will disappear when you add media to your setup. Please attach copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files for review.

Add image and video files. Do you have the integrated MAME setup and pointing to where you have your MAME images and video files?

Initial triage via email from X-Arcade is pointing to a possible wire break or broken solder joint at the 4 point switch. It was not recognized by the firmware flashing tool. Also some issues with the Player 2 joystick and some of the buttons on that side. I examined the joints and they are solid. I then put back the original PCB and same issues noted on Player 2 side. Due to the very short wiring lengths to the PCB it is likely that I have screwed up a wire or two. But where? Nothing appears loose or detached. So I may have to pay for replacement wiring for the entire thing. Not happy.

Looks like I will be troubleshooting with X-Arcade. I attempted to update the firmware after I noticed the Xinput and Dinput was not working. The firmware flash utility is not finding the device to try to flash it... so....
