zerohour

ROM set changed: no
0.106-0.141: zerohour - "Zero Hour"
0.141u2-0.205: zerohour - "Zero Hour (set 1)"

MAME History:
- 0.111u4: Mike Ellery improved dipswitches in Zero Hour. Added 'Bonus Life' dipswitch. Changed 'Unknown' dipswitches to 'Unused'.
- 0.122u8: RansAckeR fixed 'Bonus Life' dipswitch.

TG Game Entry: https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/zero-hour/mame
Rules, Points: https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=10041

NOTES:
At 0.111u4, 'Bonus_Life' was combined & renamed from two previously 'Unknown' DIPs (0x10 & 0x20), but labels were incorrect, This was later fixed at 0.122u8.
For track compatibility, the correctly translated 'Bonus_Life' setting is as follows:
0.112-0.122: Bonus_Life = No Bonus
0.123+: Bonus_Life = 5000
All other DIPs are per current rule set. This will award a bonus life at 5000 in all cases.

Service Mode:
Typical early Seta hardware.
Service Mode reflects the local configuration after playback ends, not the recording. Service Mode is accessed by enabling the DIP Switch which can be toggled with the Service Mode Button (F2) followed by a reset thus cannot be recorded in an INP. Service Mode is a set of screens. Use P1 Start button to progress past the initial screen(s). The final screen is an input test screen which also displays the DIP switches in binary form at the bottom of the screen.
