This is mainly for resyncing this submission so it starts from a verifiable SRAM rather than an unverifiable save state:

The purpose of this file

Due to how sync settings work, accessing the service menu and then continuing with the rest of the TAS in the MAMEHawk core isn't possible as DIP switch settings require core reboots. This input file instead generates a SRAM from a fresh boot with the Service Menu DIP switch ON. In the service menu the Game Settings are adjusted as such:
Game Difficulty3 - Medium (default)
Tries at King of the Mountain2 (default)
First-Time messagesNo
Reset High Score TableNo
Sounds in AttractYes (default)
Restore factory settingsNo
Once this is done by the input file, stop the input file playback. Then the Service Menu DIP switch should be set back to OFF and the core should be rebooted. If done correctly, the SRAM should save with the tutorial messages off when starting a credit from the beginning. It's now possible to make a new input file without any tutorial messages if one is done starting with the SRAM generated.
