Response from Jonathan: Rodrigo,
First off, thank you for watching our YouTube videos. If you’re interested in learning even more about arcade repair, you might read some of the posts on our web site and listen to our podcasts. You can find all of this content at arcaderepairtips.com.
As for your question, in order to put a Ms. Pac Man board in cocktail mode you must ground pin 14 on the parts side. In other words, you need to take the wire that’s coming out of the pin 14 hole on your harness on the parts side of the board (the side with all of the chips on it) and run it to a ground such as a metal plate or the floor ground coming from the power plug. Once you do that it should play in cocktail mode.
Hope that helps. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.
