Regarding adjustment menus/features and reading the manual....
(I'll preface this by saying, the technical section (short of actual schematics), is very good.)
Is there some updated, generic settings menu flowchart/description guide out there??
Because to me, a lot of the settings are ambiguous and/or confusing. Example:
52 COMPETITION MODE NO
57 PLAYER COMPETITION YES
58 TEAM SCORES NO
...what do these mean? What is being adjusted? How do I use "Team Scores"? How is it Competition Mode?
In the SW:Prem manual:
41 CUSTOM MESSAGE ON
...That's it!!!???
But in older games, all the Std & Feat Adjustments were spelled out & explained much better.
Like High Roller Casino:
Adj. 29 CUSTOM MESSAGE
Set to ON, CHANGE or OFF. Default is ON.
When set to CHANGE (select the "+" Icon to change settings until "CHANGE" appears in the
display, then select the ">>" Icon to access.) This adjustment can be accessed in two (2) ways by either selecting the "S.P.I." Icon and
advancing to this Adjustment 29, or can be directly accessed by selecting the "ABCD CUST MSG" Icon in the ADJUSTMENTS MENU.
View the definition at the end of this chapter under the Custom Message entry for the operation explanation.
Or how about again in HRC, nicely spelled out:
Adj. 36 TOURNAMENT MODE
Set to NONE, IFPA, EXPO, PAPA or HOME. Default is NONE.
Tournament Mode determines the default conditions to quickly prepare a game for tournament play. When this setting is changed all
audits will be reset and all adjustments will be initiated to the particular style selected. The game will then return to Game Over
Attract Mode, as if a Factory Reset had been performed. NONE - Same as a Factory Reset conditions. IFPA - Straight 50¢ play, No
Replay, No Extra Ball, No High Scores, 2 Tilt Warnings and No Match. EXPO or PAPA - Same as IFPA settings except Free Play is enabled.
HOME - Sets game for Free Play, Extra Ball Play, No Replay, 10% Match & 30% Extra Ball.
Even as crappy as Tron's photocopied manual is visually... at least it explained stuff like this...
again in SW:Prem...
11 REPLAY BOOST YES
...but from Tron manual:
