Site Preparation

In determining the location for your

Megatouch FORCE™ video game, consid-

eration must be given to a suitable, grounded

electrical outlet. Since the game is a com-

puterized device, it should have a separate

circuit, if at all possible. If a separate circuit

is not available, care should be taken to pro-

vide a clean and constant voltage. As a

basic guideline, never connect the unit to a

circuit that also supplies power to freezers,

coolers or other high power consuming and

electrical noise generating equipment. Place

the game in a location where nothing will

interfere with proper ventilation. The game

should not be exposed to any dripping or

splashing liquids. Objects filled with liquid

should not be placed on the unit.

The upright model should be located on a

sturdy, level surface. The game will only

remain stable when the four leg levellers

are extended and level. Extend the leg lev-

ellers until they contact the floor and remove

the weight of the game from the cabinet

wheels. When the game is properly ad-

justed, it should remain stable.

Setting up your Megatouch Game

After removing the game from the car-

ton, attach the power cord to the back

of the game, near the on/off switch.

Plug the game into a standard AC out-

let.

Turn the power switch at the back of

the game to ON and wait for it to go

through its boot-up sequence. At the

completion of the boot-up sequence,

the game will display the Main Menu

Screen.

The machine has been preset at the

factory and therefore should not need

to be adjusted, however it is recom-

mended that the screen be calibrated

(see “Screen Calibration”) and the coin

or bill acceptor(s) be tested.

There are many custom settings avail-

able for the game. To customize the

settings, follow the instructions begin-

ning with the Main Menu section in this

manual.

Game Description

The Megatouch FORCE™ comes housed in

a 19” upright cabinet. The upright model has

4 key-locked compartments: the PC shelf

section (front door), the coin box door, bill

stacker security hasp, and the rear door. It

is equipped with a coin mech and bill stacker;

optional bill acceptors are also available.

This model also has couplers installed in the

rear of the game. These are used for future

hardware upgrades which include linking

and modem capabilities. Enclosed in the

plastic bag along with the keys and war-

ranty card is an Ethernet cable and a cross-

over connector which can be used to link

games. For linking information see “Linking

Games” in the next section.

Rear Door Compartment

The rear compartment of the 19” upright al-

lows access to the rear of the monitor and

the touchscreen controller.

CPU Section

The CPU section is accessible from the front

of the upright. The CPU section houses the

CRT, motherboard, I/O board, power supply,

hard drive, centronics connector, and the

main harness.

Coin Mech/Coin Box Section

The coin mech and coin box are accessible

from the front of the cabinet. The coin box

door is key-locked for security purposes.

Located on the PC shelf are two (2) internal

switches, ”SETUP” and “CALIBRATE,” and

the coin meter. Pressing the “SETUP” button

will bring you to the Megatouch Setup Screen.

See the next section for calibration instruc-

tions.

General Care and Maintenance

NOTE: THIS GAME MUST ONLY BE SER-
VICED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON-

NEL.

CAUTION: THERE ARE HIGH VOLTAGE
PARTS IN THIS GAME. BE CAREFUL

WHEN SERVICING THE INSIDE OF THE
GAME. GAME SHOULD ALWAYS BE
UNPLUGGED BEFORE SERVICING.

Screen Calibration

NOTE: If you are using MegaWeb™ or
connecting your game to TouchTunes®
product, you must enable high resolu-
tion calibration in order to properly
view Web pages or activate all of
TouchTunes® features. All FORCE ma-
chines, except for the Classic, can sup-
port this high resolution mode. To en-
able high resolution:

Press the SETUP button inside the cabi-

net.

Touch the “System Menu” icon on the

first screen that appears.

Touch the “Options” icon on the Sys-

tem Menu Screen.

Scroll through the options until you see

“Enable Hi Resolution” and touch the

box next to this option so that a check

appears in the box.

A warning that it should not be enabled

on Classic games will appear. If you

have a Classic game, touch “No” to exit.

If you have any other type of cabinet,

touch “Yes” to continue.

The game will now have high resolu-

tion enabled. Touch the “X“ icon in the

upper corner of the screen to exit out

of setup. Then continue with the fol-

lowing screen calibration steps.

How To Calibrate the Touchscreen:

NOTE: On upright models, if you open
the monitor door while the machine is
on, you will have to recalibrate the
touchscreen.

•

Find the “CALIBRATE” button, located

on the PC shelf and press it to enter the

screen calibration mode.

•

Touch the center of the first cross that

appears on the screen. Once you re-

lease your finger, a second cross will

appear.

NOTE: You must hold your finger on the
cross for approximately 2 seconds for
the calibration to be recognized.

•

Touch the center of the second cross

that appears on the screen.

•

Once the second cross is touched and

released, another cross will appear on

the screen. To test the calibration of

the screen, touch the cross with your

finger and slowly drag your finger

around the screen. The cross should

follow your movement.

•·

Touch the “EXIT” icon.

If you have high resolution enabled, the game

will prompt you to go through the same steps

again for high resolution mode.

Degaussing Your Monitor

If your monitor is displaying “purity problems,”

(a display with purity problems will have

parts of an all-white screen affected by

blotches of color) the monitor needs to be

degaussed using a “degaussing coil.” A de-

gaussing coil is a circular electromagnet,

used to cancel out any stray magnetic fields

that may build up on a metal object.

All of our monitors have built-in degaussing

coils that are automatically activated on

power-up. If your game is experiencing mi-

nor purity problems, try powering down the

game for 20 minutes and then reapplying

power to activate the degaussing coil. If the

problem is not corrected, you will have to

purchase a manual-degaussing coil. Fol-

low the instructions below for degaussing

a monitor.

Plug in your degaussing coil.

Hold the coil about three feet from the

monitor, press the trigger to activate

the magnetic field. For circular-shaped

coils, orient the coil so you see the moni-

tor through the hole in the middle; for

wand-shaped coils, point the wand to-

wards the screen.

Move the coil in a circular motion around

the face of the monitor and slowly ap-

proach the game.

Continuing to move the coil in a circular

motion, slowly back away from the

monitor.

5a. CIRCULAR-SHAPED COILS: When you

are about three feet away, quickly turn

the coil perpendicular to the monitor and

release the trigger.

5b. WAND-SHAPED COILS: When you are

about three feet away, point the wand

away from the monitor and release the

trigger.

Monitor Adjustment Procedure

For adjusting the settings on our monitors,

we suggest following the procedures de-

scribed below. The vertical/horizontal con-

trols and brightness/contrast controls are

located on the monitor control board, velcroed

to the inside back wall of the game. Press-

ing the button labeled “OSD” on the monitor

control board will show the on-screen dis-

play on the monitor. The buttons with the

arrows will toggle through the menu, the

buttons with the plus and minus signs will

increase or decrease the current setting,

and “DEG” will degauss the monitor. Adjust

the monitor controls until the screens look

as suggested in the following steps.

Tatung Monitors

Set the game to the Checkerz game

screen.

Adjust the vertical and horizontal size

and vertical and horizontal position to

make sure that the game screen fills

the monitor screen and that the game

screen is centered.

Adjust the brightness and contrast con-

trols until the top sets of checkers are

a rich red and the bottom set are a dark

gray. The feet on the “Checkerz”

character should be white. (Adjusting

the brightness and contrast can also

correct for a lack of sharpness.)

General Circuit Board Handling

Information

Before handling any boards, observe the

following procedures:
•

Prevent Electro-Static Discharge by:

1. Storing the boards in the anti-

static bags in which they are

shipped.

2. Removing any static charge

from your body before handling

the boards.

3. Using a ground strap when

handling the boards.

•

When plugging in connectors to the

board, make sure the connector is

inserted straight onto the header and

that the connector covers all header

pins.

•

Do not connect any peripheral device

to the board, if the power is still

connected to the peripheral or if power

is already applied to the board.

CAUTION: Be extremely careful when re-
placing the lithium battery on the
motherboard. There is a danger of explo-
sion if the battery on the motherboard is in-
correctly replaced. Only replace the bat-
tery with the same type recommended by
the manufacturer. Dispose of used batter-
ies according to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.

3 MEGA TOUCH FORCE UPRIGHT OWNER’S MANUAL PM0382-07

Cleaning the Cabinet
•

The cabinet should be cleaned with a

damp cloth and mild detergent. Always

apply the cleaner to the cloth and not

directly on the game. Liquids could

enter the cabinet and damage electron-

ics inside.

Cleaning the Touchscreen Monitor

•

The touchscreen glass should be

cleaned with a damp cloth and isopro-

pyl alcohol or a non-ammonia cleanser.

Do not use any abrasive or vinegar-

based cleansers, as they will damage

the touchscreen glass.

NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE
SOLVENTS, ACID OR VINEGAR-BASED
CLEANSERS ON THE MONITOR OR
SIDE DECALS. OVER TIME, SUCH
CLEANSERS COULD HARM THE
TOUCHSCREEN AND ERASE THE DE-
CALS. BE CAREFUL NOT TO USE COM-
MERCIAL CLEANERS CONTAINING
ANY OF THESE SUBSTANCES.

Cleaning the Fans and Vents

•

The fans and vents should be cleaned

of any dust and grime on a regular

basis to ensure proper ventilation of

the game.

•

To ensure proper operation of the

game, it is important that all fans are

operating correctly and that the airflow

is unobstructed. Make sure nothing is

placed inside the cabinet or next to the

fan vents that would inhibit the flow of

air. Also, if any fans are not operating,

it is important that they be replaced.

Changing the Marquee

Unlock and open the front bezel door.

Remove the 4 hexnuts securing the

marquee assembly to the bezel and

remove the entire display frame.

Remove the 4 hexnuts securing the

marquee brace.

Tilt the marquee brace forward giving

access to the marquee. Remove the

marquee and plexiglass from the

marquee display frame.

Remove the marquee and place the

new marquee between the 2 pieces of

plexiglass.

Replace the marquee assembly in the

display frame, making sure the marquee

frame is flush with the display frame

before securing.

Re-position the marquee display braces

and secure with existing hardware.

Install the marquee frame in the cabinet

and secure it with the hardware.

(Before tightening the hardware on the

display frame, push up on the entire

assembly, making sure that the display

frame is flush with the bezel assembly.)

PM0382-07 MEGA TOUCH FORCE UPRIGHT OWNER’S MANUAL

Linking Games

Some games include an Ethernet cable and a crossover connector used to link games

together. By linking your games, players can play compete against one another in real-time

interactive play. Follow the instructions below to link your games. The software will allow

up to 8 games to be linked.

Linking two games: Plug the free ends

of both the Ethernet cables into the

crossover coupler.

Linking more than two games: Pug the

free ends of the Ethernet cables into a

10 BASE-T Ethernet hub (available from

your distributor as a separate part num-

ber (EC0030-01), or at your local com-

puter store).

Plug in the games and turn on the power.

If installation was successful, you will

see a Mega-Link® button displayed on

the screen after the menu appears.

NOTE: The Mega-Link® icon will appear
on the game only when 2 or more games
are linked.

NOTE: If a MegaTunes unit has been linked
to a game, the music will be downloaded to
the game. This download time will vary de-
pending on the amount of music being down-
loaded.

NOTE: Megatouch games that are con-
nected using the Mega-Link™ system must
have the same level of software for proper
operation. The software is designed to de-
tect other levels of software in linked games.
If a different level is detected, you will re-
ceive a screen that says, “MEGALINK MIS-
MATCH CALL ATTENDANT.” This screen
will be displayed approximately 5 minutes
after you turn the games on. To clear the
screen and continue playing the games, you
must turn the power off, unlink the games,
and turn the power back on again. If you
want to link these games you must upgrade
all games to the same software level.

NOTE: One Ethernet cable is required for
each game you are linking. Additional Cat-
5 UTP RJ45 Ethernet cables can be pur-
chased at your local computer store.

Turn off and unplug the games.

Connect one end of the supplied

Ethernet cable to the Ethernet connec-

tor on the outside of the game. The

Ethernet connector is the one on the

left if you are facing the back of the

game. (If you are linking a Vibe or EVO,

the Ethernet connector is the on the

right.)

Connect the second Ethernet cable to

the Ethernet connector on the outside

of the second game.

NOTE: If you are linking games to a Combo
Jukebox or a MegaTunes unit, the free ends
of the Ethernet cables from the games will
connect directly to the Ethernet ports on the
jukebox or MegaTunes unit. If you are link-
ing more than 2 games and a jukebox, or
more than 3 games and a MegaTunes, you
will need to connect an Ethernet cable to the
hub connector on the jukebox or MegaTunes
unit and plug the free ends of all of the cables
into a hub.

MegaTunes: The Ethernet ports are located
on the Ethernet hub mounted to the single
board computer (SBC). The 4 ports on the
right are all for Ethernet, the port on the left
is for connecting a hub only. Loosen the 2
thumbnuts securing the front access panel.
Connect the Ethernet cable to one of the
Ethernet ports and replace the front access
panel routing the cable through the slots at
the bottom of the access panel.

Combo Jukebox: There are two available
Ethernet couplers, labeled “Mega-Link”, on
the upper left if you are facing the back of
the jukebox.

Coin-In

To Enter The “Coin-In” Screen, Touch “Coin-In” on the Credits Menu

Game cost can be controlled two ways: by changing the number of credits required to play

a game or by changing the cost of a credit. The Coin-In Menu allows you to adjust the cost

of a credit, as well as providing a way to give players “bonus” credits for depositing a higher

amount of money.

When programming the Coin-In Menu, Channel 1 is set for the lowest value coin, Channel 2

for the next highest value, etc. If all six coin inputs are not used, the unused inputs must be

set to “N/A”. Adjust the coin/credit/meter pulse settings by touching the up and down

arrows on the field you want to change.

In the above example (UK currency), each game costs one (1) credit and the cost for a

single credit is 30p. This method is preferred if you want game cost to always be reflected

as “1 credit.”

In the above example (UK currency), the cost of a credit is set to 10p and each game costs

3 credits (for a total of 30p). This method allows game cost to be increased by the smallest

unit of currency used (e.g. increasing the cost of Solitaire to four (4) credits would increase

the game cost by 10p).

In both examples, note that meter pulses are independent of credits and only track the unit

of currency (10p in the examples). Players are given an incentive to deposit more money

by giving them “bonus” credits for depositing 50p or £1. Coins may be deposited in any

combination of values and the game will automatically register the highest number of credits

for the total amount of coins deposited. Once a game is played, any remaining fractional

credits are erased.

Generally, most countries have a factory default setting. This setting can be adjusted (as

FORCE™ Games continued

PROBLEM

CORRECTIVE ACTION

•

the screen
displays MAXX
and not FORCE,
and the H2H
category is
missing

When the game is turned on, it will check the type of touchscreen
controller, motherboard and hard drive. If one of these does not match
with FORCE hardware, the game will power up and display “MAXX” on
the screen and it will not have the H2H category.

•

Make sure the game is only using FORCE hardware.

•

game will not
download CD

•

Make sure the CD is installed correctly, with the logo facing up.

•

Check for scratches or a defective CD.

•

Try a different CD-ROM drive or another set of CDs.

•

If you’re downloading a CD set, make sure each CD is of the same
revision.

•

"ERROR
READING DRIVE
C"

•

This message can be caused by the hard drive or in some
program versions, a coin jam while the game is turned on.

Turn the game off.

Locate DS 1, position 8 and turn it on.

Turn on power to the cabinet. This will start the
hard drive checksum test, which should take about
20 minutes to complete.

When the hard drive passes the test it will display
a "CHECKSUM GOOD" message and continue to
boot up into the game attract screens. This
indicates a coin jam.

When the hard drive fails the test, the game will
lock up with a "CHECKSUM ERROR" message,
which will stay on the screen until the power is
turned off. In this case, the hard drive will have to
be replaced.

•

"DISK BOOT
FAILURE"

This message indicates the motherboard is not receiving data from the
hard drive and has locked up.

•

Check the IDE ribbon cable connections to the motherboard and
hard drive.

•

Check the power to the hard drive. It should have +5 volts, +12
volts, and ground.

•

“QUANTUM
FIREBALL,
SMART FAILURE
DETECTED,
BACK UP HARD
DRIVE”

The self-diagnostics on the hard drive has detected an error.

•

The hard drive will have to be replaced.

•

“CRITICAL
ERROR ABORT
RETRY FAIL” or
“BAD COMMAND
OR FILE NAME”
error

•

Try reloading the program onto the hard drive with a different set of
update CD’s compatible with the security key. If it will not accept the
download, try another CD -ROM drive. If it still does not work,
replace the hard drive.
