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.
