Description	Some dip switches settings aren't working like: Demo sounds Bonus Life Allow Continue
Steps To Reproduce	Open a game and press Tab button open Dip Swiches and (example) Allow Continue turn OFF. Restart you game (Lshift +F3 or Esc) then play a game and die, after that you can continue as usual.
Additional Information	There is more thats bothers me for a long time about this game, when a play a japan ver of this game - Geo Storm there suppose to be info when you start a game like " If you playing this game outside of Japan etc etc..." and the is a screen "Recycling dont trash it " in attract mode that shows in many USA games versions. Maybe wrong dump ? (sorry for my grammar not my native language)

Demo sounds <-- I've set it to Unknown Bonus Life <-- it's not in MAME, maybe someone else removed it already Allow Continue <-- I've set it to Unknown
