Just got a TTT pcb, installed it in a cab previously running Soul Calibur. Figured the buttons wouldn't be right, but just wanted to fire it up and see what we're working with.

Unfortunately it's just running through the JVS tests over and over and never moving past that. It's currently hooked up via JAMMA.

Any ideas what I need to do to get past this?

Is it recapped? Some of the SMD caps just fell off mine when I poked it. Recapping it solved all problems. This thread had documentation:

Thread 'Tekken Tag Tournament / Namco System 12 - Recap, Repair, Restore'

Following my other Namco System 11 & 12 Tekken PCB restorations (Tekken 2, Tekken 3), here is my Tekken Tag Tournament (PCB Ver A3) project. I washed the PCB, fixed the hanging SMD cap/lifted trace on the top board, and fully recapped it with long-life 105C rated electrolytics. I also added a CR2032 coin cell to it, and applied Arctic Silver ceramic thermal paste to the two heat sinks. It works perfectly now.

Namco System 11/12 boards have notoriously horrible SMD component soldering (I've documented this here and here), so if you see them listed as "broken" or...

When I power the game off the JST-VL port, it will show that init screen.

When powered off jamma, I never see that screen.

While it may not be the answer, that that might help with troubleshooting.
 
If you look at the jvs i/o section down below it's saying, "nothing". It could be frozen because it's waiting for controls. No controls = no game. Lots of jvs games refuse to boot unless you have a jvs i/o installed.
