| Summary | 08059: deadconx, deadconxj: Dip switches are mislabled and misassigned. | ||||
| Description |
Dip switches 2-7 and 2-8 are currently labeled "Number of Enemies 1/2 Player". The dip switches that control the kill count are actually 2-1 and 2-2. The relevant code for this starts at 0x015F46 in the main CPU - I've attached the disassembled code in a txt file. The values of these dip switches are also incorrect. Currently, 0x01 is listed as 40/60, and 0x02 is listed as 25/45. These values should be reversed: 0x01 is 25/45, 0x02 is 40/60. (The actual way this setting works is slightly more complicated than the static numbers listed and changes based on round - again, see the txt file.) Dip switch 2-7 is unused, but dip switch 2-8 is the "Upright Controls" dip switch seen in other F2 sets. Setting it to "True" disables the second player. |

Here's a dip sheet that seems to confirm this: https://www.arcade-museum.com/manuals-videogames/D/Dead%20Connection.pdf, though it doesn't show the cabinet type dip. It seems it shows different values for the "life meter" dip than the ones in MAME. |

There is Game Manual and Service Instructions for Dead Connection, but I don't see a scan of the originals online. You can see what they look like here: https://aucview.aucfan.com/yahoo/178653276/ I'm not sure where the handwritten table comes from. This site has the DIP table copied from the Japanese manual. http://otokaru.net/otocontents/dipsw/ta-to/deadconne.html The player life meter values match the numbers available in MAME, but differ from the handwritten table. Note how it also lists DIP SW B - 8 for switching Double Control Panel - to Single Control Panel. The sales flyer lists: Players: 2 (2 can play at the same time, and a player can join in midway through) Control Panel: 8, way . 2, buttons . double control panel I would imagine that many operators in Japan would have wanted the option to install this board in a cocktail table with a single control panel. It would be interesting to see if the single control panel value would suppress the 2P select and join messages. |

Fixed typos regarding switches 2-7 and 2-8 being listed as 2-6 and 2-7 respectively. And yes, dip switch 2-8 suppresses the 2P Join message both at the top and on the push start button screen. |
