Issue: 

Merit Industries has identified a software bug that affects amusement 
game books in products with Championship Edition security keys 
running FORCE 2005 and Jade software. 

Games affected: 

Only games running Championship Edition FORCE 2005 and Jade 
software (version 14.00 through 14.20) are affected. 

Symptoms: 

During amusement play, if you select “continue” after playing a game, 
the game will continue, but it will not deduct the cost to continue.  The 
books screens, however, will show that the cost was deducted.

 

Solution: 

To immediately resolve the problem, turn off the continuation option in 
the software.  Follow the instructions below to disable game 
continuation.  The permanent fix will be included in version 14.21 
software, which will be sent free of charge to affected customers. 
NOTE:  Also included in the 14.21 software is a change to the cost to 
continue for Mini Golf/Crazy Golf.  The cost to continue will now equal 
the initial cost of the game. 

To disable game continuation: 

1.  Press the SETUP button. 
2. Touch the Games button on the Main Menu Screen. 
3. Touch Options
4.  Page through the list of options until Allow game continue appears.  Touch the box next to the option 

so that the green check disappears. 

5. Touch the X on the upper right-hand side of the screen and confirm that you want to exit out of the 

setup screens. 

If you have any questions, please contact your local distributor or Merit Customer Service and Technical 
Support by phone at 001-215-639-4700 or by E-mail at TechCenter@meritind.com.
