Game Setup Options

From the Game Setup menu, you can change some things related to the games functions, but you need to know the consequences before altering these options, so:

Reset Game:

Reset the game emulation, you'll lose your current game progress unless you've saved it first.

Also, if you are using ``Continuous playing'' from version 0.31, this really resets the game, losing any saved data like hiscores...

Dipswitches:

This option allows you to alter the dip switch settings for the current game. This feature is also present somewhere on the arcade originals, but any changes you make are not guaranteed to work until the game is reset, so you should click on reset game after any changes. This is the nature of Dipswitches.

Action Replay:

This is a cheat system, see 'Action Replay' Cheating below.

ROM Version:

This is Taito specific. With most of Taito's roms after 1987, they use a byte of the rom to define which continent/language the arcade board is for use in. Usually there are two main variants:

For some games there are more interesting/useful version settings too:



Original Switch Main Changes
Bonze Adventure Jigoku new title screen
Darius 2 Sagaia new title screen
Elevator Action 2 Elevator Action Returns new title screen
Growl Runark new title screen
Jigoku Bonze Adventure new title screen
Kaiser Knuckle Global Champion some diff gfx and stuff
Plotting Flipull new title screen
Puzzle Bobble 2 Bust-a-Move Again all new game gfx
Rastan Saga 2 Nastar Warrior new title screen
Super Space Invaders 91 Majestic 12 new title screen
Twin Qix Twin Qix Japan all new game gfx



This option is sometimes risky to switch between (it's not possible for arcade owners to switch it at all, unless they get a new set of 68k roms). You should always reset the game after changing the setting. Also, with the F3-System games, changing this setting will void the game's eeprom. When this happens press the test mode key (default is 'u') to reset your eeprom. You might also need to click on 'reset game' again to achieve a clean reset with F3-System.

Possibly we should force a reset when the rom version changes, but for now it's your choice.
