Pac-Man jumper

The back of every Pac-Man manual I have says "When this jumper pad is
connected, the game becomes more difficult." So... how do you connect the
jumper pad? There is a hole on one pad but no matching hole on the other
side. The "pad" is covered by the green board stuff on the parts side and
the solder side doesn't have anything except that one hole.

Anyone done this or have a picture of one that has been done?

There are two little pads right next to each other up near the volume
control and the dip switches. If you pop a little piece of wire across them
that'll work. They're not obvious and they are very small.

Scrape off the green solder mask - you can bridge it with solder.

Scrape the green off.

I also purchased a single dip switch, but was worried that I might need to
drill a matching hole in the other pad and that hole would be pretty close
along the edge of the pad. Also, the capacitor right next to it would be up
against the single dip switch.

Connecting the solder pads doesn't have any effect on the game play as it was never implemented in the game software.
