MrBeefy Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 If memory serves me right left on 7800 difficulty switches would be Difficulty B on 2600 games right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godzillajoe Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Yeah Easy (B) <---> Hard (A) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBeefy Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Thanks! Wasn't sure if I was going to get an answer, thought maybe everyone thought I was too big a dunce for asking such a question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorfcadet Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I was too embarrased to ask, so thanks! It would have made more sense to label E and H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (A)dvanced (B)eginner Now you'll never forget. (Don't know why they didn't bother with the labels on the 7800, though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ripdubski Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (A)dvanced (B)eginner Now you'll never forget. Perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mezrabad Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 So glad to find this information. Left is (B)eginner and Right is (A)dvanced. There's got to be a good memory trick to remember that... OR I could just print out a label and stick it on my 7800. Maybe "When you get it right, you're (A)dvanced." would work as a memory thing. Why didn't they label them on the 7800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_J64bit Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Ok, what 7800 games uses the A/B switches? I know Tower Topper does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBeefy Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Ha, nice to see an old thread of mine resurrected. That is a good question though as if many 7800 games use them. I really need to get a copy of Tower Topper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebor Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Sentinel - Left Difficulty Switch - Left Position = Music / - [A] Right Position = Silence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Whenever I forget, I put in Space Invaders or Vid Olympics because you can adjust the ship size or paddle length without actually starting to play. Helps on the Flashback too actually where it is sometimes hard to tell if the diff switch is depressed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKON Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) F14 Tomcat and F18 Hornet both use the difficulty switches..F14 raise and lower the landing gear and arresting hook and F18 for raising and lowering the landing gear and bomb drop Edited September 5, 2014 by NIKON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfused Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Flipping one of the switches (left I think) will kill music on beef drop. It has to be in the opposite position it was in when the game was powered up. I think I used it for Easter eggs in b*nQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Video Olympics is my go-to cart for this exact test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeguychicago Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Tower Toppler goes wonky and is unplayable if the switches aren't set as instructed in the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixdownita Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Not wonky. It's a screen selection mode, once it cycles thru to the screen you want you can put the switch back and start on that tower .... sort of an easter egg/"secret cheat". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
