G Darius help
G Darius help
I have a PCB that won't boot after the countdown finishes, but I am able to access the setup menu through the dip switch. However, I am not sure if it's only the setup for the system board, as the only option are for finetuning the video and colors, and none for the game settings. Does anybody have a manual for G Darius they might be able to share? Or maybe somebody could just tell me what option are supposed to be available in the menu?

I don't have neither a TEST nor SERVICE button on my Supergun, so I used the small blue onboard swithes on the mobo. So, when I put the switch# 2 "ON", a test menu screen appears but it permanently resets

Thanks !

Maybe dips can only be accessed through Jamma, I don't know ?
Thanks !
nobody for help ?

Re: G Darius help
i think you are in the Sony ZN test menu, not game test mode. The game test mode clearly states: G.Darius on the bottom line.
