Incorrect behaviour

Hi

I'm making a website with INI files for MAME. One of them is reading "Free Play" dipswitch and "Service Mode" in the XML.

Download the INI file "PCB Properties" here:

https://the-virtual-arcade.github.io/

I found a game, 720, which has the service mode (using F2) but does NOT have it written in the XML.

The following tag is present in the XML for game 720

<input players="1" coins="3">

it should be

<input players="1" coins="3" service="yes">

Is it possible to add it?

Regards Harry, Virtual Arcade website

Expected behaviour

I expect all games with service mode having a service="yes"

The service="yes" XML attribute indicates the presence of non-toggle "Service" inputs (which are usually called "Test" switches on JAMMA boards), not "Service Mode" DIP switches (which are listed separately in the XML).

OK got it!

`

        <dipvalue name="On" value="0" />`

Is pressing F2 doing the same as switching the DIP switch above to "On"? Or what exactly is the function of F2 (it works in some games, but not in all) and is the availability of the F2 function written somewhere in the XML too?
