G Darius help

Post by CIT »

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?

After consulting with my copied G-Darius PCB instruction manual, it says on page 5, a listed diagram with the following:

---------------------------
Test Mode Menu

Monitor Test

Switch Test

Configuration

Sound Test

Hi-Score Reset

Factory Setting

Exit (Reset)

G Darius Ver *.**J
1997/**/** **:**:**
Select with the 1P Lever
Push 1P Button
--------------------------

If you enter the Monitor Test screen setting, you must press Test SW or Service SW to return to the Test Mode Menu screen.

Once you enter Configuration mode, a new subscreen appears and some more new options are adjustable:

Note: the following settings listed below are the factory default settings for G-Darius PCB.
-------------------------

Need help too about this game pcb :oops:
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 :?: so I have to put it back to OFF, then the game starts normally. Is this normal or is it a problem with my mobo ? Maybe dips can only be accessed through Jamma, I don't know ?
Thanks !

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.
