I just posted this in RGVAC, but just in case anyone locally can
answer:

I picked up a working Konami NBA Play by Play kit off of eBay recently
and am having some problems getting it working. This uses the Konami
Hornet PCB:
http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=583
It passes all of the self-checks at bootup then it throws me to a
screen that says "JVS communication error or inconsisent with dip
settings".

I have the manual and JVS stands for JAMMA Video Standard (to
distinguish from the Konami JS/Windy II standard). I have looked at the
dip settings and I don't see anything "inconsistent" about the dip
settings or what kind of communication error could be happening. I have
it set for 2 player mode (not messing with the extra 3/4P PCBs yet).

It has USB plugs and some other connectors but I'm pretty sure that's
for the JS setup, not for straight JAMMA. I have it set for standard
resolution not Medium (and it appears to be owrking fine since i can
see the bootup)

Does anyone have experience with this game or with a Konami Hornet PCB
(which includes Gradius 4 : Fukkatsu, Hang Pilot, NBA Play By Play,
Silent Scope, Silent Scope 2 : Fatal Judgement / Silent Scope 2 : Dark
Silhouette, Terraburst)
