Summary	01344: clowns: Blank screen by changing the coinage dip.
Description	When changing Midway Clowns dip switch coin credits from 1 coin - 1 credit to any other coin - credit setting, the game will then become a blank screen. It is possible to adjust back to 1 coin - 1 credit without having to leave the game.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional Information	That's the way the game code is. Based on the credit setting it runs a 'script', which in the case of 1C/1C prints some text, but not the other cases. It's not that the tables the code points to are invalid, but instead they don't contain the script instructions for printing text. I am not sure what the developers were trying to achieve, but it is certainly deliberate and not an emulation bug. - Zsolt Vasvari (0.111u4)
