Summary	06118: taitofx1, vspsx: "Unknown" dipswitches 3 and 4 on PlayStation-based arcade hardware
Description	Seems these do different things for each brand. So far I see: -Taito: Not sure what dip 3 does yet, but dip 4 brings the game's test menu up on boot. -Video System: Dip 3 brings up the game's test menu on boot, dip 4 purges nvram completely and prevents further saving (the test menu notes status of this at the bottom). I imagine every brand uses one of them for game test menus. edit: Sorry about that, for some reason I completely missed the DIP/Input category.

At line 2692 of drivers/zn.c there's a note about this: PORT_DIPUNKNOWN_DIPLOC( 0x08, 0x08, "S551:4" ) // game testmode in some games So it probably should be researched for every game and eventually correctly identified/differentiated in the source.
