Summary	07522: guardian: Guardian - Input remap for Service mode not working! TESTED
Description	Tafoid, if you try to remap the Service Mode key to 9 or F2 or any other key, this remapped key will insert a coin instead of entering service mode, so it's not just a matter of remapping the key, it's an input bug. Other Atari games such as Pit-Fighter are working nicely with the F2 key assigned to Service Mode (which is the default key for these Atari Games of the same period).
Steps To Reproduce	Enter the game, remap the service mode to any key and try to enter service mode with the newly remapped key. It will add a coin instead.
Additional Information	Sorry to open a new bug for it again but I could not find a way of re-opening the previous report or to insert a new comment on that one.

But in Pit-Fighter for instance, you can enter the Service Mode by hitting F2 instead of turning the UI switch. So why this game doesn't have the same option (shortcut)?

Not really sure why. Looking at the 0.182 whatsnew, this seems the only change that may be related: -Service mode DIP switch adjustments: [AJR] * Use the default sequence for the non-toggle service mode/test switch for service mode DIP switch unless the machine has one of those as well. * Automatically define DIP and configuration switches as toggle fields (makes assigning input codes easier).

Maybe Pit-Fighter has this switch and therefore it has the option to enter Service Mode by pressing F2. But it's something that only a GOTH pcb owner can verify now. Or maybe the original service manual has this information, I'll take a quick look on that.

No.17289 Fujix Administrator Dec 21, 2019, 08:47	According to the Pit Fighter's manual, the switch for the service mode (self test) is located on the PCB. https://archive.org/details/pit-fightertm-3573rd-printing/page/n5 The switch is a toggle one, not a temporary switch seen on other games.
No.17297 rcoltrane Tester Dec 24, 2019, 16:42	Fujix is right. And it seems that the Guardians Of The Hood self-test switch is actually not located on the PCB itself, it's located on one of the sides of the coin box according to the manual: https://archive.org/details/arcademanual_Guardians_of_the_Hood_TM375_1st_Printing/page/n9 So I think this means that this isn't a bug. Admins please, close it again, it was my fault. Sorry :/
