Moustrap service mode

[caveman]

Does anyone know how to get into service mode for Mousetrap, or any of the Exidy games before the Crossbow series? I'm running MAME on Mac OS 9.2 if that helps. The shooter series lets me get into service mode by holding the key assigned as the start button down on start up, but no such luck with the other games.

try going into your config menu and seeing if theres a dip switch named "Test mode" or something similar.

That's just it, under the Dip Switches menu, there's NO option for service mode. I'm gonna download the original manual and see if there's a trick that I haven't thought of.

I may be misremembering, but I think it might just be hitting F2 or F5...

Tried that-all F2 does is restart the game from powerup, but doesn't let you get "into" service mode. F5 does nothing for Mousetrap, PepperII, Hard Hat, or mostly anything before Crossbow. I haven't run out of ideas yet...

push reset (f3) with the coin button (5) pressed.

Thanks for the tip. It worked, but not to the effect that I was hoping for. What I'm trying to do is capture audio samples of the game's sound effects. All it did was give me a black screen with a white grid pattern on top of that with red, blue, green, and white squares in the inside center screen with a display of what direction the joystick is in and/or what buttons were pressed.

 

I messed around with other button combos, and nothing else worked. Oh, well. Thanks for everyone's input.

I got this info in "readme.txt" from the old versions of mame, in this file, there are "how to in test mode" in a few games. I tried If there are more tests in this game too, but seems that only have this...
