DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
The following table provides information on the functionality of the hard DIP switches in
Megatouch games. Make sure to read the information in the
Notes
column to determine
what is affected when performing these functions. After performing any DIP switch
function, make sure to follow the instructions on the screen. In most cases, you will be
instructed to reset the DIP switch in order to reboot the game. If you fail to reset the DIP
switch before rebooting, it could result in corruption of the hard drive.
NOTE:
The DIP switch functionality is built into the software. To access the DIP switches
through the software: Turn off the game. Set DIP switch 1 to the closed position. Turn
power on. When the message
Please reset DIP 1 to proceed
appears, reset DIP 1 to
the open position. The Merit diagnostics page will appear. Touch
?
for information on DIP
switch functionality. Touch the specific DIP switch to activate it. Touch
X
to exit.
DIP# Function
Usage/Notes
8 Motherboard
configuration &
checksum test
•
Configures the CMOS settings on the motherboard to
Merit specifications and checks the files on the hard
drive.
A checksum test should be performed when the game is
locking up or rebooting. If the test fails, the program should
be reloaded onto the hard drive. After reloading, perform
another checksum test. If it fails again, the hard drive
should be replaced.
6 Hardware
configuration
•
Identifies system hardware and configures the
motherboard.
A hardware configuration occasionally needs to be
performed after a kit is installed and the touchscreen is not
responding to touch or the calibration is off.
5 & 7
Memory clear for
TournaMAXX™
and
TouchTunes®
•
Clears the login name, password, access phone number,
and all call-in settings for TournaMAXX users.
•
Clears all the loaded albums for TouchTunes users.
•
Clears current books, coin-in, high scores and resets the
software options.
A memory clear should be performed when a game is not
able to connect to TournaMAXX and there is some question
about the information in the Dial-Up Network Screen being
correct. After performing a memory clear, TournaMAXX
setup information must be re-entered, and an
Update From
Server
should be performed.
NOTE:
TournaMAXX games must perform
an Update
From Server
BEFORE performing a memory clear.
4 & 7
Complete
memory clear
•
Clears ALL memory on hard drive including the
TournaMAXX player database, TournaMAXX settings,
advertising screens, bookkeeping, high scores, coin-in,
options, etc. It resets the game to the factory defaults. It
also marks bad sectors on hard drive.
A complete memory clear should only be performed when
the game is locking up or resetting and it has passed the
checksum test. After performing a memory clear, the player
database should be reloaded, TournaMAXX setup
information must be re-entered, and an
Update From
Server
should be performed.
NOTE:
TournaMAXX games must perform an
Update From
Server
BEFORE performing a complete memory clear.

When the watchdog timer is enabled, it will reboot the
machine within 5 minutes of a failure, allowing the game
to automatically reset itself if a problem arises.
