That'll teach me to leave the machine unguarded during a party... drunken puzzle bobble.. mmm

Anyway, several problems with the machine now. The player 2 start button in arcadeOS no longer brings up the menu .. but if i drop to a dos shell, I can see the button is still working, so it's not broken or anything.. and if I go into a game, start1+start2 still escapes me out of it. I checked the arcadeos.cfg file, and it looks right (start2=3) .. I can't imagine what the problem is.

Even more disturbing is a large portion of my games aren't running now.. it loads all the files required, and I'll get a black screen with about 7 2 inch high garbage characters centered on it, rapidly blinking for about 3-4 seconds, then it hops back into the arcadeos menu. I have the default game resolution for arcadeos set to normal, and i've tried altering the res for the specific games themselves, but it doesn't seem to work.

Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? I'm guessing one of my drunken friends stumbled into a menu and changed a setting or two by accident, but I don't know where to begin to look.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated... throwing a big NYE party, I'd really like to have this thing back to 100% before then. :)
