CABINET LINKING INSTRUCTIONS
CABINET ARRAYS
To create a Video Game Machine (VGM) Array, join the cabinets together. Each VGM comes equipped 
with the necessary hardware to connect cabinets and provide maximum stability. Hardware is located in 
the spare parts bag inside the cash box.
To join cabinets, remove the flat-head carriage bolts from the top and rear of adjacent cabinet sides. Posi-
tion cabinets next to one another and adjust the leg levelers until all holes are aligned. Insert long carriage 
bolts through the holes in both cabinets, and then fasten in place with the nuts provided.
  
NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS
Each VGM comes complete with a factory installed network cable. Optionally, a hub can be installed and 
located remotely to monitor network activity. Cables up to 328 ft., or 100 meters, in length may be used in 
conjunction with the hub provided they are Category 3 or higher, 100 ohm unshielded twisted pair commu-
nications grade wiring. Standard telephone cables are not sufficient for this application and should not be 
used.   
Take care to protect exposed wiring from player foot traffic, cleaning crews, service personnel, etc. Use 
approved conduit or wire channels to support cables. Please note that modular connectors do not have 
strain relief.
Prevent linking cables from becoming damaged by avoiding sources of extreme heat or moisture, and high 
amounts of electrical energy like neon signs, fluorescent fixtures, two-way radios, cordless phones, power 
circuits, public address system wiring, etc. 
Universal RJ-45 modular plugs are not numbered or coded in any way. Clearly label all network connec-
tions to avoid confusing network cables with computer or telephone circuits. 
WIRING MODIFICATIONS AND SOFTWARE SETUP
1. Place the linking hub inside the base of a cabinet nearest the center of the array. Remember that the
crossover couplers supplied with the game are not used when creating an array using the hub. Cross-
over couplers are only used to link two cabinets.
2. Unlock and remove the rear door from the cabinets selected to be part of the array. Inside the cabinet
you will find a coil of linking cable with one end already attached to game electronics. Uncoil just
enough of the cable to reach the hub, then recoil the rest of the cable and tie it in place. Repeat this
procedure for each of the other cabinets. Do not reinstall the cabinet door(s) at this time.
3. Route the free end of each cable out through the notch located in the rear door opening and plug into
any jack on the rear panel of the linking hub. Route the free end of the AC adapter for the hub and plug
it into the 9VAC jack on the front panel of the hub. Now all of the cables can be connected to the hub. 
To  l i n k  two cabinets, use the crossover coupler included in the spare parts bag. Connect 
the factory installed linking cable to the coupler and follow the instructions for “Wiring 
Modifications and Software Setup” located below starting with step #7.
To  l i n k  three or more cabinets, use a standard 10 base-T ethernet hub and follow all of 
the instructions for “Wiring Modifications and Software Setup” located below.

4. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions in order to set the hub switches for LNK
 (link) and X
 (cross-
over) activity.
5. Fasten the hub to the bottom of the most central cabinet using a hook-and-loop type material. Orient
the hub so that the indicator lights are visible and cable jacks are accessible.
6. Make sure excess cable is tied into a coil and that all cables are routed through the notch in the rear
door. Connect the AC adapter for the hub and all line cords to AC power.
7. Switch on power and closely observe the screen for each cabinet during start up. Each automatically
enters ATTRACT MODE if no errors are found.  Refer to Troubleshooting
 in the operation manual if
errors are detected.  
8. Unlock the coin door for each cabinet to access the operator control buttons inside coin vault. Press
and hold the TEST button to enter the menu system.
Verify linked games have compatible software versions. Newer versions may contain instructions pre-
vious versions do not, causing games to halt or reset at random. 
9. Select 
ADJUSTMENTS from the Main Menu screen, then scroll to the ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS MENU and
press the Test button
. Select GAME LINK NUMBER and press Test. Assign a linking number ranging
from 1 to 4 to each game cabinet. 
NOTE:
  Each cabinet must have its own individual and unique number. The first cabinet on the left is 
always cabinet 1, the second is cabinet 2, etc.  
10. Repeat these steps for each remaining game cabinet you wish to link.
11. Close and lock the coin door, and reinstall and lock the rear door for each cabinet. Lower the leg level-
ers for each cabinet until the casters do not touch the floor and the cabinets are level. Lock the levelers
in position by tightening the nuts provided. 
CAUTION 
Do not connect or disconnect any cable to the game electronics or hub with the power turned 
on. Circuit disruptions may damage the game and void the warranty.

CHAPTER 1 OPERATION
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following safety instructions apply to operators and service personnel. Read these instructions before 
servicing or preparing the Video Game Machine (VGM) for play. Other safety instructions appear through-
out this manual.
DEFINITIONS OF SAFETY TERMS
•
DANGER indicates an imminent hazard. If you fail to avoid this hazard, it WILL cause death or serious 
injury.

WARNING indicates a potential hazard. If you fail to avoid this hazard, it COULD cause death or serious 
injury.

CAUTION indicates a potential hazard. If you fail to avoid this hazard, it MAY cause minor or moderate 
injury. CAUTION also alerts you about unsafe practices.

NOTE indicates information of special importance.
WARNING: TRANSPORTING GAMES. 
The VGM contains glass and fragile electronic devices. Use appropriate care when 
transporting. Avoid rough handling when moving the cabinet. Do not move with the 
power switched on.
WARNING: DISCONNECT POWER. 
Always turn the power OFF and unplug the VGM before attempting service or adjust-
ments unless otherwise instructed. Installing or repairing boards with power switched on 
can damage components and void the warranty.
WARNING: GROUND GAMES. 
Avoid electrical shocks! Do not plug in a VGM until you have inspected and properly 
grounded it. Only plug this game into a grounded, three-wire outlet. Do not use a 
“cheater” plug, or cut off the ground pin on the line cord.
WARNING: AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCKS. 
The VGM system does not utilize an isolation transformer. Internal cabinet AC is not iso-
lated from the external AC line.
WARNING: HANDLE FLUORESCENT TUBE AND CRT WITH CARE. 
If you drop a fluorescent tube or CRT and it breaks, it will implode! Shattered glass can 
fly eight feet or more from the implosion.
CAUTION: CHECK POWER SELECTOR, LAMP. 
Set the 115/230VAC selector on the power supply for the correct line voltage. Check the 
selector setting before switching on the VGM. Verify that the fluorescent lamp assembly 
is correct for the local line voltage.
CAUTION: USE PROPER FUSE. 
Avoid electrical shock! Replacement fuses must be identically rated. Fuse voltage and 
current ratings must be identically rated to the original fuse.
CAUTION: ATTACH CONNECTORS PROPERLY. 
Be sure board connectors mate properly. If connectors do not slip on easily, do not force 
them. A reversed connector may damage the VGM and void the warranty. Connector 
keys only allow a connector to fit one set of pins on a board.

CHAPTER 1 OPERATION
CAUTION: USE CARE WHEN SHIPPING HARD DISKS. 
The hard disk drive must be packed in an anti-static bag. When shipping the drive for 
repair or replacement, pack it in an approved container (P/N 08-8068). Do not stack or 
drop hard disk drives.
WARNING: HAZARD TO EPILEPTICS. 
A very small portion of the population has a condition which may cause them to experi-
ence epileptic seizures or have momentary loss of consciousness when viewing certain 
kinds of flashing lights or patterns that are present in our daily environment. These per-
sons may experience seizures while watching some kinds of television pictures or play-
ing certain video games. People who have not had any previous seizures may 
nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.
If you or anyone in your family has experienced symptoms linked to an epileptic condi-
tion (e.g., seizures or loss of awareness), immediately consult your physician before 
using any video games.
We recommend that parents observe their children while they play video games. If you 
or your child experience the following symptoms: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle 
twitching, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convulsions, 
DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY and consult your physician.
