Took me almost three weeks to find it, but it's done and I'm happy playing ToeJam and Earl on my Arcade machine!<br />I must say, performing this mod is much easier on the Megadrive 2 console.

Its basically all going to come down to the revision of pad's that your using to wether I can help I think. Some of the pads actually have numbers on their PCB's which relate to the pins on the joypad port. These are the ones that are the easiest to get working and figure out. You can email me through my "Contact Me" information on the right hand column of my blog :-)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br /><b>Porl''</b>Porlzillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05854858006195452131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256685911046553764.post-19124882991707081092016-03-21T10:10:55.840+00:002016-03-21T10:10:55.840+00:00Hi unknown, ah so it's the control your strugg...Hi unknown, ah so it's the control your struggling with? I haven't had the chance to start the wiring guide but I will try to start it today. It's been a hectic week leading up to end of term but I should have time now.<br /><br />So, if it's the controls your struggling with, are you using Sega pads? Or a third party pad? I found the third party pads easier to figure out because Sega changed their circuit board layouts a lot and some pads have hidden grounds for certain buttons and I couldn't figure those ones out.Porlzillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05854858006195452131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256685911046553764.post-58722101859504773052016-03-20T11:39:51.597+00:002016-03-20T11:39:51.597+00:00Hi thanks for the reply.
