this should probably be added to the troubleshooting section of the manual. I just ran into the same issue. The JAMMA harness I was using had wires for buttons 4 and 5 on those pins. Player two's controls would cause the ArcadeSD to freeze, even though nothing was connected to said wires.

haven't got a clue... if someone could walk me... I'd be happy, thank you.

+5 volt lead from your power supply (or a spare one from the Jamma connector that leads to a connected trace from the supply)
|
v
220 ohm or greater resistor (make sure you use it otherwise you WILL fry the LED in the rare buttons)
|
v
+5 connector on the lighted button (it is marked with a + for LiCon (bally/midway swiches, not sure about Cherry made Atari ones)
Then for the negative lead on the LED. This connectors the the ones labeled 'LED Current Sink' in the ArcadeSD manual. These are the coin lockout connectors on the Jamma connector. I have 2 ArcadeSD's set up like this

Audio header-- Pin 4 is closest to the JAMMA cardedge:
Pin 1: no connection
Pin 2: audio left
Pin 3: audio ground
Pin 4: audio right
You might need to tweak the audio levels either with a preamp or a potentiometer depending on your audio amplifier.
As for the add-on, we really just need to get more ArcadeSD boards out in the field so that something like the add-on would be able to sell in a reasonable number even if only ~5-10% of people buy it. (Otherwise it's hard to justify spending the time getting it done if we'd only sell 10 of them or whatever.)

ignore most of this thread for now unless you have a specific problem, or need to report a problem.
1- make sure your jamma cabinet is all wired up properly with whatever joysticks and buttons you want. even cheap microswitch joysticks are fine.
1a-you need a test button, so make sure you have the red wire at 15 on the jamma harness wired to a button that is easy to hit outside the cab.
2- just +5v is needed, from a simple power supply.
3-make sure your jamma harness doesn't have wiring at spot c-25 and d-26
4-follow the instructions for setting up the pcb like the 2G SD card and the licensing.
5-go to this site for the proper roms and set yourself up for email notifications of updates and new games-
http://destross.com/romsets/
6-put your pcb in the jamma cabinet and have fun.
7-wait for the next quarterly update of new games added to the pcb.
Also, if you make your control panel easy to open up or replace, you can change out the configurations to play defender, or robotron, future-tutankham, etc.
BONUS-8 way joysticks play 4 way and 2 way games very well on the arcadeSD, which is really nice.
so you can play pacman, moon patrol, or frenzy without changing anything or having to get a fancy 49 way optical joystick.
