Oops...another catch. In 4-player Eliminator test mode, to skip quickly
through it you use the RESET switch (since there are no P1 or P2 start
buttons), so maybe that wouldn't be such a great idea either.

Maybe an independant switch that you'll just have to mount somewhere if you
want to use the menu system? (I suppose I can solder wires directly to the
test switch if I want to do that; the test switch triggers the NMI anyway).
