Summary	01009: grdforce: Test mode doesn't work.
Description	Press F2 to enter service mode. Use 9 (service key) to select "Each Game Test [Guardian_Force ]". Hit F2 to access Test Mode Menu. When there, the service and test mode buttons do not function. Update: Same problem in astrass, batmanfr, cotton2, cottonbm, othellos No test mode menu in seabass, finlarch (smleague parent is ok), myfairld Haze says: IIRC it's some kind of timing issue with the interrupts, if you fix the test mode then the games break (no input in game). RB says: The stuck test mode is also almost all games by Success. The no test menu may or may not be incorrect behavior - I don't have any of those carts for my ST-V so I can't tell. Updates by LastNinja2 (0.122u4): Just a little update to include the actual status of the individual test menu available for the new titles added in MAME 0.121u3 in the bug report. Three of them (sanjeon, thuntk, stress) are ok, you can access the menu and use it; the fourth and last game (magzun) only shows a black screen just like seabass, finlarch and myfairld. Everything has been tested with MAME 0.122u3. Remember that you can access the individual test menu for each game by pressing F2 to enter the main service mode, then selecting "each game test" with 9 and pressing F2 to enter it. Updated by LastNinja2 in 0.122u5: Tested nclubv3, the new STV game added in MAME 0.122u5: the test menu works perfectly.

No.06163 Kale Developer May 22, 2010, 17:45	All the games labeled here are fixed, i.e. you can access test mode just fine. (not really fixed in 0.138u1 but I've checked it now, probably the SMPC irq fix fixed it)
