This page is a chapter in 'Game Exploring MAME history for TG rules'

A collection of notes from the legacy of MAME for checking INP files against rules.

uccops

ROM set changed: no
0.106-0.260: uccops - "Undercover Cops (World)"

MAME History:
- 0.106u3: Massive dipswitch update to the M92 driver [Brian Troha, Guru, Yasuhiro Ogawa].
- 0.126u5: Removed drivers\m92.h. Fabio Priuli changed a lot of input related things in IREM M10->M107 boards. First of all, moved input definitions from drivers\m92.h to include\iremipt.h and removed completely drivers\m92.h (which only contained those definitions). Added more common inputs to iremipt.h and started to use that file in m62->m107 instead of local #defines. Finally, added DIP locations to all the games in m62->m107 which were missing and it implemented coinage mode 2 through dipconditions in the drivers which didn't support it.

Service Mode:
Typical Irem M92 BIOS.
Service Mode reflects the local configuration after playback ends, not the recording. Service Mode is accessed by enabling the DIP Switch followed by a reset thus cannot be recorded in an INP. Service Mode begins with another ROM & RAM test. Use simultaneous P1 Button 1 and P1 Button 2 to enter the menu of Service Mode. Navigation is with P1 Up and Down, selection is with P1 Button 1. To exit a sub-menu simultaneously hold P1 Button 1 and P1 Button 2.
Note: the manual suggests a reset is not required to begin test mode but I haven't been able to achieve that in MAME - Barthax, June 2023.
