Table of Contents ================= Introduction Notation Secrets Guide Dip Switch Menu Guide Acknowledgements Revision History Introduction ============ Super Street Fighter II X: Grandmaster Challenge for Matching Service (SSF2X) is an arcade-perfect port for Sega Dreamcast which is only available in Japan. The North American arcade version is called "Super Street Fighter II Turbo." One of the great features of the DC port is the hidden dip switch menu which allows you to tweak all kinds of settings, including the option of enabling English victory quotes and endings. This document is a guide to secrets and the dip switch menu contained in Super Street Fighter II X for Sega Dreamcast.

Dip Switch Menu Guide ===================== To unlock the hidden dip switch menu, finish the game with the "Turbo" (normal) version and "Super" (SSF2) version of each character. To access the dip switch menu, highlight "Options" at the main menu, hold down Y and press START. A screen containing a grid of zeroes and ones will appear, where a zero represents an "off" switch and a one represents an "on" switch. The programmers have provided several preset configurations under the heading "Auto Setting", each of which is assigned to a date: 1993/10/03 ver 1994/02/23 ver 1994/05/29 ver 2000/12/22 ver ????/??/?? ver To select a preset configuration, highlight "Auto Setting", press A, highlight the desired date and press A again. To set the dip switches manually, highlight "Manual Setting" and press A. In this guide, the switches are represented by a hexadecimal grid: 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 2a 2b 2c 2d 2e 2f 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 3a 3b 3c 3d 3e 3f For example, the switch in the third row and fifth column is represented by "24" and the switch in the second row and eleventh column is represented by "1a". Many of switches' functions are unknown; a list of the known switches follows. A description of each switch is given, and its behaviour when turned "off" or "on" is listed.
