Why won’t my game reset when I push the reset button?
A: Some game boards have a button on the board that is not a reset button. For example, Astro game boards have a button that functions as a “restart” button, not a reset button. If you want to reset an Astro game you will need to access the on-screen settings and follow the “Game Reset” instructions.
When I replaced an old game board in my game cabinet with a new game purchased from you the “Take” button didn’t work. But if I put the old game back in, the “Take” button will work. What is wrong with the new game?
A: You may be using an IGS board, which would require you to remove some jumpers in your harness. If there are wires going into pins 4, 5, and 6 “parts side” on the 36 pin connector. please remove them.
My game is asking me for a password to access the settings. How do I get this password?
A: Password settings vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Astro and Amcoe games each have a preset password that you can obtain by calling us. Dyna games have a user specified password – so if you don’t know the password, you will need to send the game back to us to reset the password.
Why do I get a “ticket error” when I am not even running a ticket dispenser?
A: If you are using a touch screen game, you may have this error because the “Collect Button” on the screen needs to be assigned a function. Go into your settings and check if the Collect Button is assigned to “Ticket”. If it is, then change it to the appropriate setting (e.g. “Key Out”, “Attendant”).
How do I correctly configure my power supply?
