Site Preparation

In determining the location for your Megatouch 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 separate circuit is not available, care 
should be taken to provide 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 

fi

 lled with liquid should not be placed on the unit.

Initial Setup

1.  Remove the game from the box, set the stand position and plug the power cord into 

a standard AC outlet. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: All packing material should be retained in the event the game 

needs to be sent in for service. 

2.  If you are connecting the game to the Internet via a wired connection, ensure your 

router is on and connected to the Internet and plug an Ethernet cable from one of 
the LAN ports on the router to the coupler on the rear of the machine. If you intend 
to connect to a wireless router please see the Quick Access Panel – Con

fi

 gure 

Network section of this manual.

3.  Turn the game on by pressing the power switch on the bottom of the back side of 

the game.

NOTE: An Internet connection is not required for the Megatouch Home unit to 

function but doing so will enable additional features to be available, such as an 

Internet browser, Global Leaderboards, and Megatouch Live Player Accounts.

4.  The machine will boot automatically the player menu and the machine can be used. 

This machine is set to a Freeplay mode where all games can be played without 
charge. The menu will always display CREDITS: 999

There are two main buttons located inside the Sync Menu. These buttons are: SYNC 
MACHINE SETTINGS WITH SERVER and TOURNAMAXX CLASSIC UPDATE FROM 
SERVER (see descriptions below for details). 

SYNC MACHINE SETTINGS WITH SERVER

: Touching this button will sync your ma-

chine with the Megatouch Live server. This is only necessary if moving the machine to 
a different location, changing its pro

fi

 le, or swapping its hard drive.

TOURNAMAXX CLASSIC UPDATE FROM SERVER

all Tournamaxx Classic data (scores, player rankings, etc.) with the server.

There is also a message at the bottom of this menu indicating your software version, if 
an update to the software is currently downloading to your system, or if the system has 
downloaded software but the machine needs to be rebooted in order for the update to 
complete. If the machine needs to be rebooted for updates to be applied, you can do 
that from this menu by touching the 

REBOOT TO APPLY

 button. This button will only 

appear when there are updates to apply.

VIEW DETAILS

 button on this screen that allows you to view the 

details of the software updates that are currently taking place. This button only appears 
while software updates are taking place.

FIGURE 4 - SYNC MENU OPTIONS SCREEN

NOTE: An easy way to tell if your machine is connected is to look at the Mega-

touch logo on the top of the Player Menu. If this logo is in color, the machine is 

connected. If this logo is grayed out, the machine is not connected.

Set Money-In Capacity

FIGURE 10 – SET MONEY-IN CAPACITY SCREEN

Use the drop-down menus to change the size settings for your coin box and/or your bill 
acceptor (if needed). These should be set according to your hardware. 

NOTE: Larger coin boxes are only available on systems without bill acceptors.

IMPORTANT: Having the wrong settings on this page can cause faulty “Full Capac-

ity” notices on your system.

When you are 

fi

 nished with this page, touch 

NEXT 

to continue with the Quick Pricing 

Wizard.

Channels Setup

The channels are pre-set by your pro

fi

 le (which is based on your coin mech, bill accep-

tor, and country). These amounts can be viewed on this page, along with what type of 
currency the machine is enabled to accept (e.g. U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars).

The meter pulse, which is the highest common divisor of all the monetary values of the 
channels, is independent of the credits and only tracks the smallest unit of currency 
accepted by the system. You can use this number to determine the amount of money 
earned on a game by multiplying the meter pulse by the reading on the hard meter.

When you are 

fi

 nished with this page, touch 

NEXT 

to continue with the Quick Pricing 

Wizard.
