Quoted from robx46:

Well the switch does read properly as opened or closed when the game is off. But when the game is on, switch acts as if it is always closed, testing the same way.

Your checking the switch to ground and not just across the switch contacts?

Quoted from smsteve:

I’m no expert, but I think this could be the result of a shorted diode in the switch matrix. Try opening normally closed switches in the same row or column, and those in possible “corners”, to investigate.

Although I don't have a manual for this game, I beleive all SAM system EOS switches are direct grounded switches and not part of the switch matrix.
