• 

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. 

1. 

Turn the game off.  

2. 

Locate DS 1, position 8 and turn it on.  

3. 

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

4. 

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. 

5. 

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.
