What are Test Modes?
A ‘Test Mode’ is a secret mode that is implemented into every electronic device that allows manufacturers to test the device’s functionality and sounds programmed in. For Bop It games, this can include the actions of the game, all sounds and audio voice clips put into the sound chip, lights, and some even have sensor testing. Often before you can access the sound test, you will hear a loud beep with a high frequency. That’s called a sine wave, and that tests the speaker.
When going into a Test Mode of a Bop It, you must either hold a certain combination of actions or buttons, then press in the RESET button, or remove a battery while holding actions and then reinserting the battery. Every Bop It has what’s known as a ‘Revision Number’, which is mostly used by manufacturers if a version of Bop It had a revision with some fixes, such as a better speaker, or a very slight change in the programming.
In the Test Modes, there are many different Bop It units that have different pitches when their audio is played. These are determined by a component in the game’s circuit board called a ‘crystal oscillator’. This is typically a capsule-shaped metal piece on the circuit board. The pitches in Bop It units are determined by the size in frequency (using Hertz as a unit of measurement), where the sine wave speaker beep will either be higher or lower, depending on the frequency that was set by the crystal oscillator. The higher the frequency is in Hertz, the higher the pitch will be. Most Bop It units have an average frequency of about 1000 Hz. Newer versions of Bop It (2009 and later) will have what’s called an RC oscillator, which is built into a microcontroller hidden under black epoxy on the unit’s main circuit board. You can find out information about the crystal oscillator from two videos on the Bop Diva YouTube channel if you click here and here, and the RC oscillator and the Bop It circuitry by clicking here.
Check out my YouTube channel by clicking the link here, and find my video on every Bop It Test Mode ever! That video is from 2020, but there is now a 2024 updated version of the video, where Test Modes play from Longest to Shortest. You can find that video by clicking here. It’s also located at the bottom of this page.
But, for now, if you would like to know the Revision Numbers for each Bop It, some of which are the same version but different revisions, depending on the unit, you can check the list below. The Revision Numbers will be listed in order by the number from lowest to highest.
In this list, I am also including the Revision Numbers for ALL Bop It Test Modes that I can find off YouTube, so there are plenty of Bop It versions I do not have in this list. All Bop It units listed in red are foreign / international versions. The Bop It units listed in blue are Revision Numbers that are not confirmed, but after testing, I think they exist. The Bop It units in green are foreign / international versions that are either unofficial, or they are official and there isn’t any known footage of it, or it’s considered lost
