Game Adjustments for Linked Operation
To avoid confusion, we recommend that all adjustments be set to identical values before Video Game
Machines (VGMs) are linked. VGMs might operate incorrectly if this is not the case, with the following
exceptions:
NOTE: All cabinets must have compatible software in order to link properly.  Unlock the coin door and
press the TEST button.  The software version number is found on the Main Menu screen in game
diagnostics.  It does not matter what version is installed as long as all version numbers are the same.
1. 
Linked VGMs must all have compatible software versions.  Newer versions may contain
instructions that previous versions do not have, causing them to halt or reset at random.  On-screen
messages will indicate that different versions are in use when the linking feature is enabled for each. 
						

							Diagnostics - 6 2. The graphic effects and added attractions for the slave cabinets must be the same as the
master.
  All games must have these features enabled or all must have them disabled.  Mixed
settings, for example road kill or a show girls setting, can cause games to become unsynchronized
during competition and lead to incorrect final results (i.e., two first place finishes with different times,
collisions with unseen objects, etc.).
3. The linking feature overrides some of the individual software settings. 
 For instance, the master
(VGM #1) sets and controls the difficulty level for all linked slaves. The difficulty level reported by the
slave games may not match the setting of the master game.
4. The linked game with the highest ranking determines software settings
.  Adjustments such as
bonus times will be controlled by the games in decreasing identification order.  For example, if four
games are linked, slave game #3 will always override game #4 but have no effect on games #1 or #2.
This permits games to have different standards to help equalize players with different skill levels.
The linking cables attach to a connector on a metal bracket located under the CPU Board
Assembly at the rear of the cabinet.  Unlock and remove the cabinet rear door for linking
access.
Notes on Linking:
1.  For a 2-way link, the leftmost VGM is the master (#1); the second VGM is slave #2. One linking cable
is required.
For a 3-way link, the left VGM is the master (#1); the center and right VGMs are slaves #2 and #3.
Two cables are required.
For a 4-way link, the leftmost VGM is the master (#1); the left center VGM is slave #2, right center
machine is #3, and the right most machine is slave #4. Three linking cables are required.
2.  The linking feature will not function if the master is not turned on and in normal game play mode.  If
the master is turned off, disconnected from the linking cable, or in any other mode of operation
(offline, diagnostics, etc.), none of the slaves will be able to link.
The linking feature will function for all other VGMs if one of the slaves is not turned on and in normal
game play mode.  If any slave is turned off, disconnected from the linking cable, or in any other mode
of operation (offline, diagnostics, etc.), the linking ability of other slaves will not be affected.
The linking feature will function for some VGMs, and not others, if all of the link activity switches are
not enabled or the software version numbers are not the same.  The master game will not recognize
other games with disabled linking or different link identification numbers.
DIP SWITCH SETTING FOR COINAGE
There are many ways to select the type and quantity of currency recognized by the game machine.
1.  The most common coin combinations for several countries are pre-programmed and may be selected
from the table when Standard Pricing is activated (see Game Adjustments).
2.  DIP Switch settings may be changed with the power switched on.  Set any switch and then observe
the screen to verify that the desired selection is enabled. NOTE: 
If CMOS Coin Settings are active,
switch settings for an individual Country will have no effect.
3.  Some European countries may accept currency used in other countries. The most popular coinage
settings are listed beneath ‘Other’ in the Standard Pricing Table.
4.  Alternate settings are listed beneath ‘General’ in the Standard Pricing Table.
5.  Default settings are denoted by an (*). Switches 1 through 5 select country codes. Switches 6 and 7
are used to select one of four modes for each country.
