Site Preparation

In determining the location for your

Megatouch MAXX Classic™ video game,

consideration must be given to a suitable,

grounded electrical outlet.  Since the game

is a computerized device, it should have a

separate circuit, if at all possible.  If a sepa-

rate circuit is not available, care should be

taken to provide a clean and constant volt-

age.  As a basic guideline, never connect

the unit to a circuit that also supplies power

to freezers, coolers or other high power con-

suming and electrical noise generating equip-

ment.

Game Description

The Megatouch MAXX Classic™ comes

housed in a 13” countertop cabinet.

This model has 3 key-locked compartments:

the CPU section, the coin mech section and

the coin box.  The game comes equipped

with a coin mech and optional bill acceptors

are also available.  This model also has  cou-

plers installed in the rear of the game.  These

are used for future hardware upgrades which

include linking and modem capabilities.

CPU Section

The CPU section is accessible from the rear

of the unit in the countertop.  This section

houses the CRT, the monitor controls, the

CPU and I/O boards, the power supply and

the main harness.  The security key is lo-

cated on the I/O board.

Coin Mech/Coin Box Section

The coin mech/coin box section is accessible

from the front of the unit.  This section is key-

locked for security purposes.  A sturdy metal

box located within the coin mech section,

holds all coins deposited into the machine.

The coin box is separately key-locked for

security.

Also located within the cavity of the coin mech

are 2 internal switches, ”SETUP” and “CALI-

BRATE,” and the coin meter.  Pressing the

“SETUP” button will bring you to the

Megatouch Setup screen (see Figure 1).

See the next section for calibration instruc-

tions.

General  Care and Maintenance

NOTE: 

THIS GAME SHOULD ONLY BE

SERVICED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
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

•

Find the “CALIBRATE” button on the

connector board located behind the

coin mech (see Figure 10) and press it

to enter the screen calibration mode.

•

Touch the center of the first circle that

appears on the screen.  Once you re-

lease your finger, a second circle will

appear.

NOTE: 

You must hold your finger on the

circle for approximately 2 seconds for
the calibration to be recognized.

•

Touch the center of the second circle

that appears on the screen.

•

A third circle will appear to calibrate for

low color games.  Touch the center of

the third circle.

•

Once the third circle is touched and

released, a crosshair will appear on

the screen.  To test the calibration of

the screen, touch the crosshair with

your finger and slowly drag your fin-

ger around the screen.  The crosshair

should follow your movement.

•·

Touch the “EXIT” icon.

NOTE:  

If you perform a touchscreen test

through the set-up mode, a “LOW
COLOR ADJUSTMENT” icon will ap-
pear in the upper left corner of the
screen to give you the option to set the
low color adjustment.

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 degaussing 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 use

a manual-degaussing coil.  Follow the instruc-

tions below for degaussing a monitor.

1.

Plug in your degaussing coil.

2.

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.

3.

Move the coil in a circular motion around

the face of the monitor and slowly ap-

proach the game.

4.

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 moni-

tor 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 Colors Adjustment Procedure

For adjusting the colors on any of our moni-

tor types, we suggest following the proce-

dures described below.  The vertical/horizon-

tal controls and brightness/contrast controls

are located on the monitor control panel,

velcroed inside the game.  The monitor RGB

controls are located on the monitor

neckboard.  Adjust the RGB controls until the

screens look as suggested in the following

steps.

Tatung/Wells Monitors

1.

Set the game to the Checkerz game

screen.

2.

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.

3.

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 han-

dling 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 battery
with the same type recommended by the
manufacturer.  Dispose of used batteries ac-
cording to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Cleaning the Cabinet

•

The cabinet should be cleaned with a

damp cloth and mild detergent.

Cleaning the Touchscreen Monitor

•

The touchscreen glass should be

cleaned with a damp cloth and isopro-

MEGATOUCH MAXX CLASSIC™ OWNER’S MANUAL

     PM0220-08

pyl alcohol or a 

non-ammonia cleanser.

Do not use any abrasive or vinegar-

based cleansers, as they will damage

the touchscreen glass.

To gain access to the entire surface of the

monitor screen on the countertop model, you

will have to remove the top of the machine.

To remove the top of the machine, unlock

and open the rear door.  Disconnect the fan

power connector and disconnect the plastic

tubing and ground strap attached to the lid.

Press up on the spring-loaded levers located

on each side of the lid.  Push the lid forward

and pick it up to remove.  See the decal in-

side the lid for a diagram of locations.

NOTE: 

DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE SOL-

VENTS, ACID OR VINEGAR-BASED
CLEANSERS ON THE MONITOR OR SIDE
DECALS.  OVER TIME, SUCH CLEANS-
ERS COULD HARM THE TOUCHSCREEN
AND ERASE THE DECALS.  BE CAREFUL
NOT TO USE COMMERCIAL CLEANERS
CONTAINING ANY OF THESE SUB-
STANCES.

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 operat-

ing correctly and that the airflow is un-

obstructed.  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.

NOTE:  Number corresponds to the options in the pre-
ceding table.

1

Touching “TIMER” for the “ALLOW SEX?” setting allows the

operator to set times during which adult-oriented categories
and games are available to the players.  Using the arrows,
set the time at which the adult-oriented games and catego-
ries will be turned on and set the time at which they’ll be turned
off.  The time is set using 24 hour, “military” time.  The factory
default settings are set to turn on at 22:00 (10:00 PM) and to
turn off at 6:00 (6:00 AM).

2

When “ALLOW NUDITY” is set to “YES,” a small box will
appear to the right.  Select the nudity level that will appear on
the game by touching the desired level.

3

These settings are only available if “ALLOW SEX?” is set to
“TIMER” or “YES.”

4

“SET” is only shown if “Player Selectable Language” is
set to “YES.”  When enabled, the operator can select
which of the available languages will be displayed for
the user to select.  To enable the languages: at the
Language Select screen, touch the desired language
on the left, then select an open field on the right.

5

When “AUTO CLEAR HIGH SCORES” is set to “YES,” a
small box will appear to the right.  Touching this box allows
the time period to be set from 1 to 4 weeks (from the time the
player name is entered).  The factory default setting is two (2)
weeks.

6

These settings are only available if “6 STARS ENABLED?”
is set to “YES.”  For more information on 6 Stars, see System
Settings.

7

This setting is only available if “SHOW DECK CARDS” is
set to “YES.”

8

Setting this to “YES” enables a bonus replay for all games
except Trivia Whiz, Pile On, Strip Poker, Double Solitaire
and Mystery Phraze.  The following table shows the scores
needed to achieve a bonus replay (after a replay has been
earned, the next player must beat the last replay score to earn
another replay).

9

Easy Mode reduces the number of points needed to reach the
bonus round for Hoop Jones (125/150 points), Eleven-Up
(68,000/80,000 points), Tri-Towers (64,000/80,000 points),
Royal Flash (180,000/200,000 points) and Quik Match
(250,000/280,000 points).

10 Setting this to “YES” enables the Theft Deterrent.  If you

choose to enable this option, the game will automatically shut
down at specified intervals and you will need to reactivate the
game by entering a personal identification number.  If you
select “YES”, the game will prompt you for a four to eight digit
pin number.  It will then prompt you to choose the intervals that
you want the game to activate the Theft Deterrent mode.  Se-
lect 1 week, 2 week, 3 week, or 4 week intervals.  In order to
avoid the system shutdown, you must turn off the Theft Deter-
rent and turn it back on again before the end of the time inter-
val that you have selected.

11 Touchscreen mode offers 2 options for touchscreen settings.

Mode 1 is standard (default).  It is the recommended setting
for most locations.  This setting allows for normal play.  Mode
2 is an added feature used for faster play and reaction time of
the touchscreen.  This mode is enhanced for intensive play.
When set to mode 2, certain environmental conditions may
cause slight touchscreen drift.  If this occurs, return to Mode
1.

*Six Stars Enabled

This feature allows access to the Clear High

Scores, Volume Control, Video Billboard and

Calibration, without having to remove the coin

box.  If the Six Stars Enabled dip switch is

set to “YES,” touching the info button in the

main menu will cause six numbered stars to

appear on the screen.  Touching these stars

in the programmed order will bring up a

screen with icons for the Video Billboard,

High Scores and Volume Control, and Screen

Calibration screens (provided the appropri-

ate DIP switches have been set to “YES”).

To set the   sequence in which the stars must

be touched, go to the “System Settings”

screen, touch the “Set Six Star PIN” icon and

set the sequence.

To Enter This Screen, Touch

“Game Menu” At The Setup

Screen

Figure 3 - Game Menu Screen

The game list and prices are programmed

using this screen.  The left side  of the screen

shows the various game menu names.  The

fields to the right show the game positions

available, with the price for each game.  The

list at the bottom shows all games available

for that category.  The lower buttons will re-

set the selected game menu to the default

setting (DEFAULT), clear all of the games

from the player’s game menu (CLEAR), clear

the selected item from the player’s game

menu (CLEAR 1), and reset all of the game

menus to the default settings (DEFAULT

ALL).

To program the player’s game lists, first  se-

lect the category in which you want the game

to appear, by touching that category’s name

on the left side of the screen.  Choose the

menu position you want the game to occupy,

by touching that position.  Then, touch the

desired game name, from the game list on

the bottom of the screen.  That game will

now appear in the menu (a game cannot

appear in a game list more than once).

Games currently in the displayed category

will appear shaded in the game list on the

right.  To adjust the price, touch the price in

the game menu.  Each touch will rotate the

price from 25¢ (1CR), to 50¢ (2CR), to 75¢

(3CR), to $1 (4CR) and back to 25¢ (1CR).

Touch “EXIT” when done.

NOTE:  TOP GAMES ALLOWS THE OP-
ERATOR TO ENTER UP TO 6 GAMES IN
THAT CATEGORY.  SET THE TOP GAME
THRESHOLD TO TELL THE GAME HOW
MANY PLAYS QUALIFIES A GAME FOR
THE TOP GAMES LIST.  ONCE A GAME
REACHES THAT NUMBER OF PLAYS, IT
WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE ADDED TO
THE TOP GAMES CATEGORY.  THE DE-
FAULT THRESHOLD IS “10.”

*Games currently in the displayed cat-
egory will appear shaded in the game list
on the right.

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, E1 is set for the lowest value coin, E2 for the next

highest value, etc. If all four coin inputs are not used, the unused inputs must be set to

 “N/A.”.  Adjust the coin/credit/meter pulse settings by touching the “plus” and “minus”

signs 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 combi-

nation 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

described above), but will return if the game memory is cleared.  Some programs, depending

on the key used, have a CURRENCY DEFAULT DISPLAY located to the left of the coin

inputs.  It shows the currency value for each of the coin inputs.  This display is used as a

guide and is not used in any calculations.  Touch the CURRENCY DEFAULT DISPLAY to

hide/show the display.

The books screen displays the current and

lifetime credit totals for each game, as well

as the percentage of credits played per game

(the percentage for each game is the total

number of credits played on that game di-

vided by the total number of credits entered

into the machine).

Touching a game name will display the cur-

rent and lifetime credit totals*, broken into 1

Player, 2 Player and Linked Games.  It also

shows the “shortest,” “longest” and “average”

playing times for that game (only “link-only”

games, like Pile-On, are included in time cal-

culations; time calculations for games that

can be played as link or amusement are only

displayed for the amusement version).

Touch CLEAR CURRENT to erase all cur-

rent book data.

*Touching Trivia Whiz or Power Trivia dis-

plays totals by category.

Video Billboard Icon Functions:

Megatouch MAXX™ Video
Billboard Operating Instructions

The Megatouch MAXX™ Video Billboard al-

lows for six, separate advertising screens.

Two of the screens can only be accessed

using “Six Stars” (and are intended for use

by the location owner), the other four screens

are  accessed using the Video Billboard icon

located on the System Settings screen.

The Video Billboard provides several font

styles, sizes and colors, a choice of back-

ground colors and designs, as well as a vari-

ety of clip art.  The basic Video Billboard

screen is shown below, followed by the op-

erating instructions.  A maximum of 16

screen objects (a line of text or a piece of

clip art) can be placed on any given screen.

The Video Billboard also allows you to add 3

advertising screens that you create on your

personal computer.  These screens are in

addition to the 6 screens that can be created

directly on the game.  To create these new

screens, you will need a personal computer

with a PC card reader/writer, a graphics pro-

gram to create graphics and two 8 MB PC

cards.  Complete instructions can be found

on the Merit Industries website

(www.meritind.com).

To Enter This Screen, Enter The

System Settings Screen and

Touch Video Billboard
