Summary 08935: blitz2k: Unable to save adjustments or perform factory restore in service menu
Description When you enter the service menu, any attempt to change adjustments (e.g., setting coinage to USA 3 or enabling or disabling sound in attract mode) will fail. Similarly, any attempt to perform a "full factory restore" will also fail.

The game will also not accept any up/down input when setting the game or attract mode volume.
Steps To Reproduce 1. Load the game.
2. Once the game has finished booting up, press F2 to go to the service menu.
3. Wait until you are at the service menu.
4. For example, assume you want to change the coinage settings. Go to Adjustments, then Pricing, then North America, then United States. The "1 coin to start and/or continue" setting in the next menu is "USA 3", so have "USA 3" highlighted and press Ctrl (button 1) to select that setting.
5. The settings change will fail, giving the notice "Error setting pricing."
6. Next, you want to enable or disable attract mode sounds. So, exit from the pricing menus and go to the "Attract Sound" menu. There, you would see a big red notice saying something about invalid stuff, however, after pressing any button, you are directed to a prompt to enable sound in attract mode. Choose Yes. It will also fail, giving the notice "Setting attract mode sound failed."
7. Lastly, attempt to perform a full factory restore by going to "Full Factory Restore." After pressing Ctrl, a prompt to restore adjustments and audits will pop up. Choose Yes. An error notice will pop up saying "Failure performing factory restore."
8. As a bonus, exit from the adjustments menu and go to "Volume Level." It is expected that pressing Up or Down on the arrow keys will adjust the volume, but it does not do anything.
Additional Information I set "Misc." as the category since it may not fit in the other categories.

Refer to the screenshots to see what the error notices look like.

Unfortunately, I didn't check beforehand if there were any past reports of this, so this is likely a duplicate. Judge with caution.

UPDATE: This may be a more detailed version of issue #4504.

Sorry, yes it is a duplicate and as such it has been closed.

I left a note in 4504, in case someone needs your "Steps to Reproduce".
