Sound Debug

This screen is displayed on boot, and as it implies, some sound debugging features are enabled by setting the RAM variable at 0x1120 to 1 (this is reset on boot or after exiting the test menu). However, the game only checks for input on a single frame, so it's easier to just use the MAME debugger to access these by using the following commands:

(This is for the parent set/World version only)
  focus 0
  g c13728
Wait for the breakpoint, then...
To access Sound Checker:
  pc=c13812;g
To access Sound Monitor:
  pc=c13758;g

Sound Checker

This is a fully working sound test, unlike the one in the Test Mode. First select a sample bank (using the controls shown on screen), then you can play any song with the current sample bank. Most sounds will only sound correct with a certain bank loaded.

Sound Monitor

Just replaces the normal status display with a list of sound request slots and the currently playing sound number, if one is playing.
