I also know that the built-in test mode detects and shows these 3rd buttons for both players as functioning, but the game itself might not be allowing you to use button 3 to change things such as fighter formation or entering secret codes. I'm inclined to believe this is the original behavior of this particular set.
No.05603 Tafoid Administrator Jan 30, 2010, 23:06 edited on: Jan 30, 2010, 23:09	I just took a look at the source files for some answers and it's clear that this set has no button 3 function. From toaplan2.c: bgaregga - The clones have fewer types of enemy bullets (not fewer bullets, just fewer types!) and Stage Edit is disabled - the dipswitch is still listed in service mode but it doesn't do anything. In addition to these changes, bgaregt2 (bgareggat2) has no third button! Instead of being able to change the formation of your options with a button press, each of the selectable ships has a different, fixed option formation. Closing. Not a bug.

I just took a look at the source files for some answers and it's clear that this set has no button 3 function. From toaplan2.c:
