Recently Nintendo received requests
concerning the eli■ination of the
attract ■ode 11USic in the lll6AN' S IUEY
and Dl£K tlftT gun gaas. Since the dip
switches for these t• ga■es were used
for other options, the option for
eliminating the attract ■ode 11USic NS
not included. Because of this, Nintendo
is now offering a progra■ change that
wi 11 re■ove the 11USic frcl■ the attract
■ode. This progr• change consists of
Just one EPIOI, llhich is used in
location 6D (or lD>, in each gun gaae.
The version nuber for the Dl£K tlftT
program is E-1, and for IIIBAN'S IUEY
it's E-2. These EPRIII' s are available
