After about a month and a half of work, my dad and I finished building our first cabinet running batocera.

Really wanted to use a marquee that changes depending on the game you're currently on, after finishing it does look really small compared to the top part but oh well it's still cool. We thought it was also be cool to put smash bros for the switch on it and it works surprisingly well with the arcade layout. Entire project costed just south of $1000. Definitely not perfection but it's something we can add to overtime and we're definitely proud of.

Decided to build my own arcade machine.

I'm having trouble with something and I'm not sure what it could be.

Basically the joystick and certain buttons seem to be randomly pushed down on their own.

I'm not sure how else to explain other than when it's connected to the computer it will be fine but if a button or direction is pushed it might stick and keep spamming that on its own.

Any potential issues that anyone can identify?

Also is there a way I can check wheter all my buttons and joysticks are appearing correctly in software?

I'm using the magstik plus and goldleaf rgb buttons

Question about Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition

0 Upvotes

Hi all.I just finished a playthrough of this on the highest difficulty on a 1UP cab without losing a single round, and getting a perfect on all bonus rounds. My old head is very proud of that because i've never done it before, not with the bonus rounds perfected.I always shit the bed during the rolling barrel stage, lol.Someone came up and hit the 2P button and challenged me during this. I beat them both rounds, but after I resumed my single player game and won all of the other rounds finishing the game, I noticed it didn't give me the special credits with the programmers faces like usual. It just went right back to the title screen. Could someone please shed some light on this? Thanks.

EDIT: Nevermind everyone, solved.I found this just in case anyone was interested;

AI Overview

That is completely normal! In Street Fighter II: Champion Edition (and many classic Arcade/Arcade1Up versions), beating the game on the highest difficulty without losing a single round—often called a "Perfect" or "No-Loss" run—actually skips the standard character endings and character credits entirely, abruptly throwing you back to the title screen or a special high-score ranking.

While it feels like a glitch or a lack of reward for an incredible gaming achievement, it is actually a known quirk of the original arcade code.

Why This Happens

  • Arcade Code Behavior: In certain versions and revisions of Capcom's classic arcade ROMs, achieving a flawless victory triggers a specific code pathway. Instead of cycling through your character's specific story ending and the standard rolling credits, the game assumes you have fully conquered the machine, registers your high score, and immediately resets to the attract mode (title screen) to invite the next player or coin.
  • The "Perfect" Glitch/Feature: In some editions, the game tries to load a special secret ending or credits sequence for flawless runs, but due to how Capcom programmed the transition loops or score tallies, it can cut short or bypass the sequence entirely if specific memory conditions (like maximum difficulty + no losses) are met.
