Got a weird problem with a Taito Fron Line. Game works great, except you cannot die.

Bullets go right though you etc. I know there is a dip switch setting that turns this mode on(bank c switch 7), but I have checked it a few times and it still stays in the same mode. Anyone else ever see this or have any ideas on how to fix?

Thanks,
Walt
 
Yeah, I noticed that many later Taito games have a god mode. Most are unpublished.
 
Check for bad solder joints on the dip bank.

Another test to try - If you have a multimeter, check that switch for continuity (flip it on and off and see if it is opening / shorting closed) by probing where the pcb traces from the dipswitch end up. That way you can test for bad solderjoints and if the switch is working. I've come across my share of dipswitches that went bad.

That's cool. Keep playing and let me know if we finally win the war.
