As the title says :rolleyes:
I'd like to get into the service menu and change difficulty & lives in these games , in order to progress more than 5 rounds in Robotron , and to last more than 3 minutes in Defender & Sinistar :biggrin:
Been looking around on the net with no avail
These games don't seem to have usual dipswitch settings
Any ideas ?
Best regards :cool:

The Williams games have a weird way of going into service mode:
after the game boots, press Advance (mapped in inputs/F5), and you have to keep pressing advance to go through all of the tests and sooner or later, you'll hit a games setting screen where settings can be changed.
Instead of changing the settings.. I really suggest practicing more using the defaults, or even use savestates to help practice - it's a really fun way of practicing. I'll explain:
find 2(or 3) unused buttons on your controller, for example, the shoulder/trigger buttons. Map the "System load state" "... Save state" and "undo state" to those 3 buttons, and hit the one you've mapped to savestate every time you make good progress in the game. If you die, hit the load state button :) The undo button will become necessary if "save state" was used at the wrong time.
Good luck!

Thanks a ton , dink ! :biggrin:
I've been getting better slowly at Robotron and Defender , even if just a little bit , using the save states better
But Sinistar seems to be a different kind of beast :p
-
Great :)
Sinistar is very difficult, I can't get too far in the game, but I still play it often. It seems like the second stage is either really hard, or a little bit more difficult than the first stage. though, I haven't figured out what triggers the difference yet.
