The Operator's Menu is the one you can get into by opening the coin door. I agree that it's a little vague as to what exactly they mean. Particularly the High Scores part; in my experience, your local high score list is still functional even when you change settings in Pro mode, it's just that you don't get credit for Goals/Achievements and you can't post to the global Leaderboards, which is perfectly understandable. It'd be nice if they could have it flag the particular gameplay-altering settings and let you change the rest without penalty, but I can see how that would be time-consuming to implement.But the other night I was messing around with TOTAN and gave myself 10 balls per game, and the score I got in the one game I played like that is still my local High Score on that table, even after turning off the Operator mode and going back to defaults so I could go after the goals. Which is fine, because the local high scores don't mean much (and I'm pretty sure you can reset them yourself in the Operator menu or even set the defaults to whatever you want.)Ideally I'd like it if the game maintained separate local high score lists for when you're in "Pro mode" and when you're "playing it straight," but since the game seems to cull that info straight from the ROM's high score list, that would probably require a bit more work.
