Happ Rotary Controls Help - Works Backwards

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting (More info?)

I just installed a new Happ Rotary Controller on my Guerilla War. The
U/D/L/R movements are fine, but the rotary control works backwards. There
doesn't appear to be any way to install the joystick backwards, so I think
it's installed properly. I also reversed the wiring plug for the rotary
controls, and it stopped working altogether, so it appears to be plugged in
correctly.

Anyone know what's going on here?

OK, but how do I do that? None of the manuals for the LS30 games have the
wiring schematics for the joysticks, and the Happ joysticks don't have
schematics either. Anyone have any suggestions that might help?

A couple of other notes: if you turn the joysticks enough, the game will
eventually lock up, and will put a "Joystick Error" message on screen. Also,
I tried the same joysticks on my Time Soldiers board and had the same
result, except that the game didn't lock up.

Anyone know how to isolate and fix this?
