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 bottom of the

cabinet has two leg levellers on the back to

make any necessary adjustments. When

the game is properly adjusted, it should re-

main stable. The game is designed to be

secured to a wall. Locate the supplied hard-

ware inside the coin box and follow the in-

structions below to secure the game to the

wall.

Locate a wall stud to mount the game.

Measure 46" from the floor on the

mounting stud and drill a hole to install

the hardware. Installation into a

wooden stud requires a 2" deep x 1/4"

hole. For masonry walls drill a 1 1/4"

deep x 1/2" hole. For steel stud or hol-

low walls drill an 11/16" hole.

For wooden stud installation, screw the

lag eyebolt into the hole (see Figure A).

For masonry wall, insert the lag shield

into the hole and then insert and tighten

the machine eyebolt (see Figure B). For

steel stud or hollow walls, insert the

toggle bolt into the hole and then insert

the machine eyebolt, nut and washer

and tighten (see Figure C).

Route the lanyard through the eye bolt

and attach it to the snap spring as

shown in Figure D. Then, attach the

snap spring to the handle on the back

of the game.

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 Player Menu.

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 Fusion™ comes housed in

a 17” upright cabinet. This model has 3 key-

locked compartments: the main bezel door,

the rear door and the coin/bill door. It is

equipped with a coin mech and/or 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 some

games along with the keys and warranty

card is an Ethernet cable and a crossover

connector which can be used to link games.

For linking information, see

Linking Games

in the next section.

The rear compartment of the Fusion allows

access to storage space for add-on acces-

sories.

CPU Section

The CPU section is accessible by opening

the front bezel. The bezel houses the LCD

monitor and the CPU section houses an elec-

tronics box which contains the motherboard,

I/O board, power supply, hard drive, and the

main harness. There is external access to

the centronics connector and the counter

on the outside of the electronics box and in

games with wide-angle monitors, the SETUP

and CALIBRATE buttons are also on the box.

In games with standard monitors, the SETUP

and CALIBRATE buttons are located on the

control board attached to the front of the

bezel. There is also a security key port on

the control board, but in Fusion games, it is

not operable

Pressing the SETUP button

will bring you to the Main Menu Screen.

Coin Mech/Bill Acceptor Cash Box

The coin mech and/or bill acceptor are ac-

cessible by opening the front bezel of the

cabinet (see Figure 24 for locations). The

metal cash box door is key-locked for secu-

rity purposes.

If your game has a Smiley bill acceptor, there

is a lanyard secured to the inside of the

cash door. This can be attached to the clip

on the left wall of the cabinet when you

want to secure the door in the open posi-

tion. See Figure 24 to locate the clip.

General Care and Maintenance

touch

Yes

to continue.

PM0463-08 MEGATOUCH FORCE FUSION OWNER’S MANUAL

3 MEGATOUCH FORCE FUSION OWNER’S MANUAL PM0463-08

The game will now have high resolu-

tion enabled. Touch the

button in the

upper corner of the screen to exit out

of setup. Then continue with the fol-

lowing screen calibration steps.

How To Calibrate your Touchscreen:

ger, 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

button.

If you have high resolution enabled, the game

will prompt you to go through the same steps

again for high resolution mode.

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, attached

to the underside of the front bezel.

Unlock and open the bezel so the control

board is accessible while viewing the moni-

tor.

Pressing the button labeled

Menu

the control board will show the on-screen

display on the monitor. Adjust the monitor

controls until the screens look as suggested

in the following steps. When finished, close

and lock the bezel.

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 mother-

board. There is a danger of explosion if the

battery on the motherboard is incorrectly

replaced. Only replace the battery with the

same type recommended by the manufac-

turer. Dispose of used batteries according

to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Replacing the Marquee

To replace the marquee, first remove the 6

thumbnuts fastening the plastic bezel to the

game and remove the plastic bezel. Then,

remove the 6 nuts and washers securing

the plexiglass sign holder to the bezel, re-

move the plexiglass and replace the sign.

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 on a regular basis to en-

sure 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.

Watch Dog Timer

This game has been equipped with a fea-

ture that allows it to automatically reboot if it

encounters a problem. When the watch dog

timer is enabled, it will reboot the machine

within 2 minutes after a failure, allowing the

game to automatically reset itself if a prob-

lem arises without needing a technician

present. If you want to disable the watch

dog timer, set DIP switch 3 on the I/O board

to the open position and reboot the game.

PM0463-08 MEGATOUCH FORCE FUSION OWNER’S MANUAL

5 MEGATOUCH FORCE FUSION OWNER’S MANUAL PM0463-08

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 button 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

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.

Coinless Coin Op Menu

When enabled via the Options button on

the Credits/Pricing Menu, the Coinless Coin

Op feature allows the operator to charge

on a per-game or per-time basis without

players inserting money into the game. The

total amount owed after gameplay is tallied

by the machine and collected by the location

owner. Location owners reset the game

with a PIN after collection.

NOTE: If you have set a tax fee on the
Cash Settlement Screens, Coinless Coin
Op Mode play will be taxed at the set
rate. If you want to set the tax
percentage at a different rate for
Coinless Coin Op mode and regular
mode, you should perform a Cash
Settlement Collection before switching
modes.

Coin-In 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 ad-

just the cost of a credit, as well as provide a

way to give players “bonus” credits for de-

positing a higher amount of money. Use the

left and right arrows to change the number

of credits.

When programming the Coin-In Menu, Chan-

nel 1 is set for the lowest value coin, Chan-

nel 2 for the next highest value, etc. Meter

pulses are independent of credits and only

track the unit of currency. Players are given

an incentive to deposit more money by giv-

ing them “bonus” credits for depositing larger

denominations. 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 depos-

ited. 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.

To give customers bonus credits for insert-

ing a five-dollar bill, the $5 line must be en-

abled in the Coin-In Menu. To enable it, en-

ter the Quick Price Setup Screen and se-

Per-Game Mode

When players choose this mode, a running

total of the amount owed is maintained and

displayed in the CREDITS box on the

screen. The total is tabulated after each

game or function. The location owner then

collects the total amount owed at the end

of gameplay. If there is no activity for 10

minutes, the machine will disable and the

amount owed by the player will display on

screen. No further gameplay can occur

until the machine is reset by a location

employee using the PIN.

Time Mode

The price per 15-minute time block will be

displayed before players choose this

mode. During gameplay, the time remaining

and amount owed by the player will be

displayed on screen. When the time block

runs out, players can purchase additional

time. Otherwise, the machine will disable

and the amount owed by the player will

display on screen. No further gameplay

can occur until the machine is reset using

the PIN. If the player leaves the game

before the purchased time block has ended,

the game can be reset using the PIN.

Resetting or Freezing the Game

The game can be reset at any time using

the pre-programmed PIN. Once gameplay

totals have been tallied by the machine, the

attendant can also choose to freeze the

game to prevent more activity until the

transaction is complete. The Reset or

Freeze buttons are accessible through the

Options button on the Player Menu after

touching the Coinless Coin Op button. An

alarm will begin to sound after 3 failed

attempts to enter the valid number when

entering the PIN to reset the game. The

alarm will terminate when the machine is

rebooted, the operator SETUP button is

pressed, or the correct PIN is entered.

Certain features will not be available in

Coinless Coin Op Mode, such as MegaNet

content, Merit Money, Promo Credits, Free

Credits, TouchTunes® music. Pricing for

these features can only be displayed in

currency values, not credits.

Settings

Touching the Settings button allows the

operator to choose whether players can

play Per Game, Per Time, or both when the

game is in Coinless Coin Op mode. Per

Time pricing can be changed on this screen

with the up and down arrows. The

currency amount will apply to each 15-

minute time block selected by the customer.

Setting the PIN

Touch the Set PIN button on the Coinless

Coin Op Menu to program the PIN. The

number can be from 1 to 5 digits.
