System 16 might be worth a mention for hardware specifications and game titles/screenshots. Although, some of their hardware specs are a bit off...
Re: Arcade PCB DIP Switch Settings and Manuals

Re: Arcade PCB DIP Switch Settings and Manuals
Anyone got a translation of the DDP DOJ hard dip settings? Wanna set it to free play and play with the difficulty but I don't want to flip dips willy nilly!
Thanks!
Thanks!
<@scootnet> if you were a real gamer, you could jerk it to Super Metroid box art
Re: Arcade PCB DIP Switch Settings and Manuals
It uses soft dips, just go into the menu and see for yourself, no need for a translation, just cycle through the available menu options, it's all in english.maxlords wrote:Anyone got a translation of the DDP DOJ hard dip settings?

Unless I'm missing something and you don't own the PCB and are on mame, in which case hold F2 for test mode.
Re: Arcade PCB DIP Switch Settings and Manuals
There are soft dips...hmmm. There's also a set of hard dips on it on the side...was wondering what those did.

Re: Arcade PCB DIP Switch Settings and Manuals
Dip 1 enables test, the rest do nothing.
Re: Arcade PCB DIP Switch Settings and Manuals
does anybody have any info on "Denjin Makai" dipswitch settings? I can not find the manual anywhere; Mame's driver source code does not have any info either.
Re: Arcade PCB DIP Switch Settings and Manuals
Nice! Thanks for the list!

Re: Arcade PCB DIP Switch Settings and Manuals
Dip switches are physical switches that are soldered to a circuit board that you have to physically interact with to change their position. They were how you changed the settings on a lot of older arcade boards such as # starting lives, difficulty, coin options, and so on, before robust test menu options where you could do all that via a test menu button became the standard.

What dip switches do depended on the arcade board; there wasn't a common standard, so if you're using an emulator you need to refer to its dip switch settings menu to see what options are available, and if the game has a test menu, what ones can be set there.
