Not sure if anyone cares or not, but I've been doing some messing around with the debug dips in Samurai Shodown 5 Special and have come up with a few things. Keep in mind that when I mention an effect on P1 or P2, this applies to the CPU as well.

1-1 P1 is invincible

1-2 Almost max meditation P1 - The triangle above your life meter is set so high that you can use the Mu no Kyouchi after about 1 hit or so (your life meter turns blue). This makes the Mu no Kyouchi last a LONG time and makes the Issen do MASSIVE damage. However, this also means that your opponent can do his/her fatality on you as well.

1-3 ?

1-4 P1 has no weapon

1-5 P2 is invincible

1-6 almost max meditation P2

1-7 ?

1-8 P2 has no weapon

2-1 Life recovers for P1 and P2 (great if you want to practice with 2 players)

2-2 ?

2-3 ?

2-4 Fatalities can be done at anytime (rage explosion not required, any round)

2-5 ?

2-6 ?

2-7 Displays code at the top of the screen

2-8 Pause anywhere - hold select on 2nd controller for frame by frame slow motion

I tested these dip switches during gameplay only, so some of the unknowns might affect different parts of the game (endings or whatnot). Really nothing too exciting unless you're having trouble beating the CPU for the true ending or if you want a true 2 player practice mode.
