Hi guys.

Just wanting to know what the dip switch setttings are to remove the memory test on start up for Death smiles please?
Also do Cave pcb's all have a setting for free play?

Cheers.

Memory test is mandatory. Most hardware (even your phone), does hardware checks while booting up.

Free Play, did you try the Test menu?

On the Cave PCBs, Free Play is possible with the ESP.Ra.De. PCB and onwards to the very last SH-3 based SDOJ PCB release. It's not possible to implement such "Free Play" with a Cave DDP PCB whatsoever (as it's not present/selectable in the arcade operator's sub-menu settings).

Memory checks are obligatory with all Cave SH-3 based PCBs upon booting it from a "cold start" (including the very first SH-3 PCB release of Ibara as well).

ESP Ra De doesn't have free play.

My bad. I meant Cave's arcade PCB of Dangun Feveron/Fever SOS has the cool Free Play option.
