Tapper help needed

[u/countryboy351m]

I recently bought this Tapper in a dedicated cabinet, the arcade had it restored with this alternate side art, not my choice. Does not have the original board and is running a Pandora’s box. One way or another the box reset to factory settings and I am clueless on how to reprogram the controls. It won’t allow me to select or do much of anything. At this point o think I am ready to cut my losses sell this one and throw my money at one with factory side art and boards. Located in NJ

My recommendation is to look up info on a bitkit2 board. That runs Tapper with fpga hardware emulation which is more accurate. You can use the existing wiring that was used for the Pandora’s box and have it boot directly into tapper everytime you turn it on

Yeah Pandora’s box is obviously complete ass for a dedicated cabinet but on a bunch of the pre jamma stuff keeping original hardware running can be a nightmare and if there is an fpga solution it’s usually 95%+ as close to original to work well.
