I am not sure where Dexter control begins and game control ends. I am getting imagery on the screen, so that must be coming from Dexter.
Wondering why I could not control the game to start by firing trigger, I was left to confirm trigger signal at game diagnostics. Trigger fire, as well as stick movement and missile fire were confirmed at game diagnostics.
Your question regarding any evidence that Dexter is controlling would seem to be right on point... The answer is NO. I have no evidence that Dexter is functioning aside from the imagery, jet engine sound and pilot dialogue audio. I thought the plug (that I suspect is for control required a noteworthy amount of insertion force, yet it seems to be seated. The game had an F connector, so the bnc to F adapter was essential. The other two audio plugs went on perfectly. As I said in my prior e-mail the machine had a pre wired 110vac plug so I used that for the Dexter power supply in order to synchronize Dexter power up with MACH 3 game power up.
What can you suggest to troubleshoot/comfirm Dexter's control of the game?
Should I remove re-insert the small plug that I suspect is control?
Should I meter or scope the output to look for some voltages or signals? If so, what should I be seeing on the game side and on the Dexter side?
I appreciate the help
Thanks!
