Other relevant rules are covered by internal settings. If not shown during playback, use Service Mode to access after playback completed. Service Mode is accessed via the DIP Switch which is toggled with the Service button (F2). A series of screens can be transitioned with the Test (9) button. The Game Options screen can be interacted with using P1 Up and P1 Down for navigation and P1 Left and Right to change values.

0.129-0.188: vamphalf - "Vamf x1/2 (Europe)"

Default Settings:

vandyke

ROM set changed: no
0.106-0.255: vandyke - "Vandyke (Japan)"

MAME History:
- 0.106u3: Added 'Difficulty' and 'Flip Screen' dipswitches. Changed 'Unknown' dipswitches to 'Unused'.
- 0.155: Various tweaks and improvements in NMK16 driver (timings, sound balance, etc.). [...] Double buffer NMK16 sprites [David Haywood]. Changed VSync to 56.18 Hz in most games.

Resolution, 0.106-0.154: 256x224 @ 56.000000Hz

Rules, Points [Two Player Team]: https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=120536
Note 1: For rule compliance (see Notes 3 & 4), use:
Difficulty: Normal
Flip Screen: Off

Service Mode:
Typical NMK 16-bit hardware.
Service Mode will reflect the local configuration after playback, not the recording. Service Mode is entered by enabling the DIP switch which can be toggled with the Service button (F2) and then followed by a reset, thus cannot be recorded in an INP. Service Mode only shows the DIP switch assignments for the first switch which controls the coin interpretation.
Note 2: MAME reverses the numeric DIP switch bank. In the service mode, DIP SW. 1 is MAME's Switch 2 and DIP SW. 2 is MAME's Switch 1.
Note 3: "Difficulty" DIP switch was incorrectly labeled "Unknown" prior to 0.107. Using Service Mode, Difficulty is the right-most pair of bits in DIP SW. 2. Normal setting has both bits set to 1. Prior to 0.107, having the 4th and 5th Unknown DIP Switches set to Off also has this value.
Note 4: "Flip Screen" DIP switch was incorrectly labeled "Unknown" prior to 0.107. Using Service Mode, Flip Screen is the left-most bit in DIP SW. 1. Flip Screen off has a value of 1, Flip Screen on has a value of 0. Prior to 0.107, having the 6th Unknown DIP Switch set to Off also has Flip Screen off.

- 0.133u1: Renamed (vaportrp) to (vaportrxp).

MAMEINFO.dat suggests that only vaportrp > vaportrxp is correct. There is no mention of any change to the parent set.

Reduced the number of separate machine drivers. Fixed incorrect spriteram sizes. Populated full memory maps for the main CPU and the rev 1 sound board. More to come. Changed the 6532 RIOT device into a proper device. Rewrote the logic to be simpler and leverage the new attotime functions. Changed the I/O port setters to specify a mask, and changed the I/O port callbacks to pass in the previous value. Converted audio\gottlieb.c to use the new RIOT implementation instead of rolling their own. Changed VSync to 61.419025 Hz. Added dipswitches 'Sound Test' and 6x 'Unknown'.
- 0.143u8: Various Gottlieb driver fixes [Tafoid]: Verified through playtesting, manuals and in-game service modes all DIPs in the driver. Consolidated and added DIP locations based on all available information.

ROM set changed: no
0.106-0.260: vsskykid - "Vs. Super SkyKid"

MAME History:
- 0.137u3: VSNES improvements [Alex Jackson]: Moved RC2C05 PPU-based protection into the PPU itself, rather than hacking it in at the driver level. After exhaustive testing, completely sorted out the "palette" dipswitches (which are actually PPU type selection) on all games that have them. Added notes about these games in the comments. Removed GAME_IMPERFECT_COLORS and GAME_WRONG_COLORS from all games, as they should all be 100% correct now. Fixed coin inputs in tkoboxng. Removed IMPERFECT_GRAPHICS flag since there's no legitimate reason I can see for it. Also, fixed manufacturer and description to match the title screen. Added a bit more information about the missing sets in the comments. Removed the bogus 2C0X PPU "color remap tables" in favor of external palettes containing data reverse-engineered (several years ago) from original hardware. Each vsnes set, as well as the playch10 BIOS, now requires one of these palettes.
