I tried that, but I am lazy and it was going to take me more than 30 seconds. Good form, though.

i know there is a dip switch on the golden tee boards to change frequencies (i think its marked high/low)but i do not know about the bowling game
the make and model of your monitor are very important as some monitors can auto change frequencies whilst others have jumper plugs
i can tell you that in the u.k golden tee 2005 will have a hantarex polo 2 auto frequency installed but in regards to cabs used in the states i could not say
why not try contacting incredible technologies directly to get the info

If you can't figure out the dip switches, don't mess with the yet.

I have seen four threads, all started by you and all asking the same VERY FREAKING LOUD question, except that you left out important pieces of information (e.g. swapping boards!!!).

So, WHAT board is currently installed and WHAT exactly are you seeing ? WHAT did you see/do prior to this farkedness ?

Please be precise ... makes it easier to understand what might be happening.

Cheers

EDIT: fredster is probably right ... I was harsh ... yes, welcome.

God you guys kill me.  Not everybody is a internet junkie.  I'm glad he spent the time to figure it out this far.

Hello CEE1281.  Welcome to the sorted underbelly of the internet.  Filled with freaks and digital kids with no lives.

The first thing I suggest is to google search for the information you are looking for by finding a scanned manual.  Failing that, ask on the newsgroup RGVAC.  The RGVAC is rec.games.video.arcade.collecting

As them if they can tell you. 

These new games are made by IT.  You can email the technical department of IT and lots of times they will answer.  They are usually more interested in customers who bought a machine and are running it, like a brand new GT.

However, they do condesend to the level of the home user from time to time.  They might be able to tell you. 

You have lots of issues with monitors.  If you are lucky enough to have a high resolution monitor, it should have picked it up.  So you probably have a lower resolution monitor.  You need to understand the function of each of the dip switches to understand what you have done.

Dip switches set many things.  They set the  board to freeplay, to test mode, to difficulty level, even to cocktail mode. (where the screen flips for player 1 or 2).

I don't have a manual for that game.  Ask at RGVAC.  That newsgroup is read by 1000's of people every day.

And again, welcome.
