I wanted to reset the dips on my R-Type board so I could have sound in attract mode, freeplay, reset to normal difficulty, etc. I consulted the manual's dip setting page, followed it to the letter, and when I powered it back up, my screen was flipped. Then I tried again, and the board was in test mode. Tried again, I was in freeze-frame mode and the screen was flipped. After an hour of f-ing around, I tried mentally swapping the dip switch banks from what the manual said was dipswitch bank 1 to dsb 2 and vise versa. Voilà!, the manual has the dip switch banks backwards. How careless. Anyone else ever notice this? Any other manuals blatantly wrong that you know of?
 
I noticed it recently when I tried to place my Rtype on coin play. I think the pic in the manual showed the dips in the wrong location.
 
I had 5 through 8 all on. Are you sure that all of your dip switches are functioning? Sometimes they get stuck. Continuity checks should allow you to see if they are working properly.
