Summary	08987: dreamwld: DIP Switch Determination
Description	Hello, I wanted to report in on what some of the Unused DIP Switches do: There are a total of 9 Unused DIPs in the Dip Switch settings - DIP Switch #4 controls the Ticket amount - DIP Switch #6 controls the Demo Sound (Off/On) - DIP Switch #7, 8, and 9 control the Difficulty Level. I dont know exactly what the rhyme or reason is for how one switch impacts the level, but you can combine them in various combos to get Level 1-7 in difficulty I made a video showcasing them in action available here:
Steps To Reproduce	1. Load up Dream World ROM 2. Change Service Mode DIP to On 3. Go to DIP Settings 1 4. Change various Unused DIPs to see them reflected on the screen 5. Go back and go to DIP Settings 2 6. Change various Unused DIPs to see them reflected on the screen

See notes at https://git.redump.net/mame/tree/src/mame/misc/dreamwld.cpp#n29 and https://git.redump.net/mame/tree/src/mame/misc/dreamwld.cpp#n481 In particular, Demo Sounds is very easy to verify. Whether you have it on or off, the game doesn't produce any sound during attract mode
