Test Button in arcade cabinet?

According to the instructions that came with my Strikers 1945 PLUS kit, I need to press the Test button inside my arcade cabinet in order to change the settings (namely, the default # of lives). What/where is the test button? I am using a Sigma supergun and a standard 1-slot MVS mobo.

Thanks!

Hi professor,

I believe you figured it out already, but if you don't have one, I highly recommend you kit out your MVS with Razoola's Universe Bios. With the Unibios, you can easily switch between regions, play games in AES mode, enable cheats, listen to game music, and so forth. Pretty sweet.

Note, however, that if you have a MV1-B or MV1-C motherboard the Unibios will be rather difficult to install, as those models have the BIOS soldered onto the board directly.

The test switch for the cab is also dip switch #8 on the mvs board. Just turn that on and off. (did you also know that dip #1 is pause?)

You guys are awesome, thanks!

So you can switch those switches on and off while the thing is running without causing trouble? Good to know. I had no idea how to pause. That's super helpful.

I have a four slot MVS and dip 1 is test, and dip 8 is pause, i guess its different than a 1 slot. go to Hard MVS for the manual for you board
