Summary	03689: Reassigning Service Menu/Test Mode key (F2) does not work.
Description	mk2 and clones: In particular, I noticed in Mortal Kombat 2 (mk2) that you can not set the service menu (F2) under any other button using "Other Controls" mapping. Tafoid: Trying the newly assigned key will not trigger Service, but using F2 (which was unmapped) will still work. It's as if that assignment is hardcoded as F2 with no ability to change as in past versions.

In particular, you need to use the "setname" of the game in question "mk2" and put that in Affected Sets as well as your tested MAME version (I assumed 0.136). Confirmed. In my limited testing, this problem is not exclusive to this particular title. Adjusted the bug to better quantify the problem.

No.05586 Tafoid Administrator Jan 28, 2010, 13:28	The bug is logged and acknowledged. It will be fixed when it can be fixed effectively. Please do not continue to ask when something will be fixed as it only discourages development.

Rash, do not adjust this bug or add other bugs based on inability to remap the F2 "Service Mode" mapping.
No.06554 AWJ Developer Aug 15, 2010, 23:23	"Service Mode" can be either a pushbutton or a dipswitch, depending on the emulated hardware. When it's a pushbutton (e.g. cps2.c), it shows up under "Input (This Game)" and it can be remapped either from there or from "Input (General)". However, when it's a dipswitch (e.g. midtunit.c), it doesn't show up under "Input (This Game)", and the key that toggles it is apparently hardcoded to F2 and impossible to change--see src/emu/inptport.c. It used to be possible to remap the Service Mode dipswitch, but one of Aaron's mega-rewrites probably broke it at some point.
