Galaga Enhancement Pack -- DIP Settings

Test mode allows you to configure your game while displaying the current options set by the 2 DIP switch banks on the CPU board and allows viewing the configuration of the extra features. Explanation of each item follows.

To enter settings mode, flip the test switch inside the coin door. After the normal power-up self-test completes the game will go into the standard diagnostics screen or setup mode.

To enter back to game-play mode, flip the test switch back to it's original position. At this point the board will reset and boot back into  game-play mode.
