Battle Balls (Senkyu) Seibu games not loading, stuck on 'updating' screen. Any ideas?

Battle Balls is the best example of this. When you load it, it seems to think that it is reflashing - it counts down a timer, and asks you to swap the JP1 setting and reset.
Of course, doing so doesn't do anything, as the system doesn't re-flash.
Has anyone gotten any of the Battle Balls games to work?
(apologies for my first post being a question, I'm normally just a lurker..)

I just tried. After it counts down, hit TAB and go to DIPSWITCHES. Turn JP1 to off, then hit F3. Game should start.

I don't think this belongs to arcade-history. The site is about actual machines, not about emulation... maybe if it was described in a generic way, for the hardware, although I'm not sure the site is about that either...

mameinfo.dat seems to have that kind of info for some games, for example:
Code:
$info=4roses
$mame
0.128u6 [Roberto Fresca]
SETUP:
- Turn on the machine getting STATISTIC & MANAGEMENT buttons pressed.
- STATISTICS = Show credits in/out. To cancel statistics press CANCEL for some seconds.
- MANAGEMENT = Settings. The following menu will show up: HOLD3 = Verify In/Out, even when the stats were cleared. HOLD2 + HOLD4 = Modify maximum bet, pressing HOLD1. Modify minimum bet, pressing HOLD2. Modify percentage (1, 2, 3, 4), pressing HOLD3.
- Press START to exit from programming mode.
So it might be a good place to put it.

Most of which is already at MAMEDEV.ORG FAQ.
This game I did not add an entry because it was pretty much follow the screen instructions and the DIP is clearly labeled "UPDATE" or "OFF". The OP failed to tell us what version or build of MAME he was using - so it might have been a bug that was fixed or simply a corrupt .nv file.
