With my Roadblasters, when I go into digs I cannot get to the "Playfield test" or the "Control test" or any of the tests following.

I start in the "Switch test", press the thumb button and move through the coin options, game options, stats and histogram. But at the end of the histogram, I go right back to the switch test ... I never see the other tests!

Is there some secret I'm missing?

Not sure if I'm following correctly, but I think you need help in the test menu. I have the cockpit version, when you hit the switch in the coin door, it boots up in test mode. To cycle down through your list of choices, you hold down the trigger and turn the wheel. Once you are at the choice you want to select, simply turn the wheel & hold it for a second or two (not pushing trigger). It doesn't cycle immediately, so that may have thrown you off.
 
Thanks for the follow-up.

To write my question more succinctly... I can enter the digs, but about half of the individual tests are missing. For example, if there should be 10 tests, I get the first 5 and then it repeats back to #1. Individual tests titled "Playfield test" or the "Control test" are among the ones that never appear.

I'm wondering if an early version of the RB rom doesn't have these. I should check with MAME.

Flip the disgnostic switch with the power OFF to the game, them power it on. It will power on in test mode and you should have all the test screens available at that point.

Thanks Chris. I have Marble Madness back in now, but will try that when I put Roadblasters back.
