PRODUCT OVERVIEW

2.5 How GameGate™ Works

The Xbox 360® and PLAYSTATION®3 are DVD based game systems. The owner of the
Game Gate™ VU selects a game from the approved list of game titles and inserts it into the
disk drive of the Xbox 360®/PLAYSTATION®3.

When Game Gate™ VU is not being played, the game console is turned off to minimize wear.
To avoid the screen from being blank when not in use, the Game Gate™ VU will play looping
videos from the micro-computer in the cabinet. The video’s purpose is to attract the player
and also educate the player on how to operate the game. There are over 100 different games
that are licensed to play on the Game Gate™ VU. Therefore there are many different attract
videos, all of which cannot be loaded onto the computer (RMT); and many new games are re­leased each month, each of which has a corresponding attract video. The owner must upload

the video les through a USB ash drive into the computer in the Game Gate™ VU for attract
sequence purposes. Attract video les can be found on

When a player (end user) inserts money into the Game
Gate™ VU, a message appears on the LCD screen
prompts the player to select a 1 player or a 2 player game
by pressing the corresponding pushbutton on the cabinet.
Once the number of players is selected, the Xbox 360®/
PLAYSTATION®3 will power on and the looping video will
stop playing. The video on the screen will switch from the
computer video to the game. If a 1-player game is select­ed, only one game controller will be operable. If a 2-player
game is selected, both controllers will operate. The amount
of time the player can play is dependent on the amount
of time set per credit by the operator and the amount of
credits inserted. The LED matrix on the cabinet displays the time as it counts down to zero.

Fig. 2.5A

The player uses the handheld controllers to oper­ate the game. When the timer reaches zero, the video
switches to a “Time Expired” screen with a 20 second
countdown (game is paused in the background).”If the
player adds credits before the 20 seconds expires,
the video will switch back to the game and the player
can resume play, a new gameplay countdown is initi­ated. If the player does not add more credits during
the “Time Expired” screen, the game system shuts off
and the looping attract video sequece resumes play.
In this manner the Game Gate™ VU is not a skill/
reward based system, but a simple rental of time to use the equipment.

2.6 Number Of Players Overview

Add Player

In the case where a one player game is in progress
the second player controller will not operate. If a sec-

ond player wishes to join the rst player game while a

game is already in progress, the second player must
press the “Two Player Game” button. A screen will ap-

pear and request that the rst player conrm this ac­tion by pressing the ashing “One Player Game” button

Adding a second player mid game will reduce the
amount of time (in half, for example). So, if 5 minutes
remain when the one player game is in progress, and a second player is added, the time re­maining will reduce to 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

Fig. 2.6A

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Remove Player

If a two player game is in progress, both controllers will
function. A second player can leave a game in prog­ress by pressing the “One Player Game” button. A
screen will appear and request that the action be con­rmed by pressing the ashing “Two Player Game” but­ton. Many games do not allow a second player to just
drop mid game, so Game Gate™ VU must reset the

game system and the rst player will need to start from

the beginning. Time remaining will increase (double,
for example). For example, if there were 5 minutes re­maining for a two player game, and the second player
is dropped, the new time remaining will be 10 minutes.

Number of Players Game Limitations

Some games are only capable of one player. In the
case where a one player game is installed in the Game
Gate™ VU, the system should be set so that a sec­ond player cannot be added to prevent the end user
from wasting money activating the second controller.
See section “System Settings” for more information.

Fig. 2.6B

Also, some games do not allow a second player to jump in
mid-game. In this case the game system must reset to add
the second player. Time will still be deducted for adding the

second player, but the screen will warn the rst player that
“Game Will Reset” if conrmed.

Reset Game

If a player is frustrated with the game in progress
and wishes to start the game from the beginning, this
can be accomplished by pressing the “Reset” but­ton on the front of the cabinet. A screen will ap-

pear requesting the player to conrm this action by
pressing the ashing “One Player Game” button.

3.3 Connecting Game Gate™ VU to your Network

Game Gate™ VU can be connected to your Local Area Network (LAN) as well as the internet.

LAN Connection

LAN connection will promote on-site network gaming allowing multiple Game Gate™ VUs in a
single location to play with/against each other via system link. In this manner, even if a loca­tion does not have internet access, the Game Gate™ VU experience can still be improved,
such as with a row of Game Gate™ VUs playing together in the same building. The stan­dards for networking a number of units is the same process as that when networking a group
of computers.

If there are only two Game Gate™ VUs and no internet connection, a single Ethernet cable
can be installed connect the two units for system link play (not all games support system link,
refer to your software documentation for details).

Connecting the Game Gate™ VU to the internet has the following advantages:

1) The video game console can be used for online play. (Ethernet cable must be connected to
the video game console, see “Section 4: Installing a Video Game System” for details). Some
license restrictions apply to online gaming. Refer to your license agreements for details.

2) Game Gate™ VU settings and updates can be applied remotely through the registration
server (service not available in all areas).

3) Operator can monitor Game Gate™ VU status and manage the system remotely, such
report cash box (service not available in all areas).

4) License renewal can be done directly through the internet, bypassing the need for the USB

ash drive (service not available in all areas).

3.4 Sliding Controller Bracket

In the case where a single player game is started, it is more ergonomic for the player to use
the controller in the center of the machine. This is an optional feature that you may wish to
enable. Game Gate™ VU ships with the left player locked in position (the right player is not
adjustable). To release the left player and allow the controller to slide, simply open the control
panel and remove the set screw as shown in the diagram below.

4. INSTALLING A VIDEO GAME SYSTEM

The following section details 20 steps on how to install the Xbox 360® video game
system hardware into the Game Gate VU™ cabinet. In this section you will learn how to

INSTALLING A VIDEO GAME SYSTEM

install the external memory sockets, secure the Xbox 360® to the cabinet, connect the
audio and video, connect the power, and install the handheld controllers. If you intend to
install a PLAYSTAION®3 to the cabinet, please move to the next section “Installing a
PLAYSTATION®3.

There are several different versions of the Xbox 360® available at retail. Game Gate™
VU is compatible with all of the versions, which vary only slightly by the accessories
included with each. At the time of this manual, there are three versions available:

Arcade - includes the core system with no harddrive, 512mb of internal memory, a small
collection of games, and a wireless controller.

Pro - includes the core system with a small harddrive and is usually bundled with full
retail software version, as well as a wireless controller.

4.1 Installing The Xbox 360®

Elite - color is black instead of white, includes a large hard drive and is usually bundled

with full retail software, and a black wireless controller.

The “Arcade” version is the least expensive and is recommended by Quasimoto for use
with the Game Gate™ as the hard drive offers limited benefits to Game Gate™ VU
operators.

Since each console only includes one controller, you must purchase the second control­ler. DO NOT buy off-brand (third-party) controllers as they will not fit the controller

brackets included with the Game Gate™ VU. Only purchase Microsoft brand (first
party) controllers.

To install the Xbox 360® you will need the following components

INSTALLING A VIDEO GAME SYSTEM

please go to the previous section “Installing an Xbox 360®.”

There have been several different versions of the PLAYSTATION®3 available at retail.
The differences being only the size of the harddrive and the backwards compatibility with
Playstation 2® titles. Game Gate™ VU is compatible with all PLAYSTATION®3 video
game consoles yet released to the market.

Note: PLAYSTATION®3 uses bluetooth wireless controllers for operation. Game Gate™
VU requires the activation and deactivation of controllers, which is not possible using a
standard PLAYSTATION®3 Dual Shock 3 game controller. Therefore it is required that
you obtain two PlayStation 2® game controllers for proper operation (more details
provided later in this section).

DO NOT buy off-brand (third-party) controllers as they will not fit the controller
brackets included with the Game Gate™ VU cabinet. Only purchase Sony® brand
(first party) controllers

4.2E PLAYSTATION®3: Installing The Handheld Controller

The reason we have chosen to use Playstation 2® controllers instead of Playstation®3
controllers is that 1) Playstation 2® controllers are much less expensive to replace and 2)
we can prohibit users from changing Playstation®3 system settings by using a Playsta­tion 2 controller. The function is identical in most cases between the two controllers. The
Playstation®3 controller can fit in the brackets with some adjustments, but because of the

5.3 License Renewal Process

Game Gate™ VU includes 6 months of activation and license, which must be renewed before
expiration. Failure to renew the license will result in equipment default to Free Play Mode
(locked). The process for renewal is straightforward.

There are two ways to renew the license. One is through the Internet if Game Gate™ VU

is connected to the network, the other is through a USB ash drive, similar to the activation

process.

You will be notied by mail and by email that expiration is eminent. The Game Gate™ VU will

also remind you of your expiration date. Also, the system is setup that if you own more than
one Game Gate™ VU and have purchased them at different times during the year, the expira­tion dates will synchronize, meaning there will only be two renewal dates to remember annu­ally for all the Game Gate™ VU product you own.

Game Gate owners will receive an invoice ve months after initial activation. Game Gate

license fees are $8 per month, which is billed in 6 month periods or $48 per unit (dates are
tracked as “day credits”, or 182 day credits per 6 month activation).

54

5.4 Machine Renewal Details - Extending the Activation

The instructions below assume that your Game Gate equipment is not connected to the inter-

net during the renewal process, in which case a USB ash drive will be required. The process

is similar to activation (see section 5.2 for images and more details).

5

Receive the invoice from the license manager for your Game Gate unit, in most cases it
is $48 per machine for 6 month extension (see section 5.3 above). Once payment has

1

been received, the license manager will add day credits to your account.

Power on the Game Gate and wait for “Please Wait” to end on the LED display. Insert a

USB ash drive (such as the one included with the machine) into the USB port located

2

behind the coin door. A menu will appear on the screen. Use the “One Player Game”,
button to navigate to the “Licensing” option. Press the “Reset” button to conrm the se­lection.

ACTIVATION & RENEWAL

Follow the onscreen prompt to remove the USB ash drive. A screen will appear dur-

12

ing the reboot sequence that will show the new license status (Active). Renewal date
will be extended 6 months. Repeat steps 9 through 12 for all machines you chose to
renew in the registration server in Step 6.

5.5 When To Renew?

You will receive an invoice from the license manager at least 30 days prior to expiration. You
must pay this invoice in order to extend the activation. You may, at your option, choose to

have your credit card on le with the license manager to make the process more convenient.

Once you have paid the renewal fee, the license manager will add “Day Credits” to your ac­count.

Currently, the maximum allowed extension time is 6 months, or approximately 182 days. So,
you will receive an invoice for $8 per month x 6 months = $48USD (per machine) prior to
expiration. You must logon to the registration server to apply the credits to the Game Gate™

VU equipment. A renewal le will be placed on the USB ash drive, which can be taken to

all Game Gate™ VUs that you wish to renew. Or, in the case where the Game Gate™ VU is
connected to the Internet, this extension can be pushed through the network so that visiting
the equipment is unnecessary (feature not available in all areas).

What is the Master Renewal date?

Quasimoto wants the process for activation and renewal of equipment to be as easy as pos­sible. Therefore, if you have purchased and/or activated multiple Game Gate™ VU units on
different dates, our system will synchronize the renewal dates of all the units to the same date
so that you don’t have to worry about multiple expiration dates. This means that no matter
how many machines you have, you will only be billed twice a year and have to renew twice a
year.

ACTIVATION & RENEWAL

What Are Day Credits?

Every new Game Gate™ VU includes 6 months of free license. In order to synchronize mul­tiple units the unit of measure is in days instead of months. Therefore, each new unit comes
with 182 days of credit (leap years and extra days are added in favor of the licensee). The
license manager will bill you in month 5 for an additional 182 Days Credits to apply to extend
the license, which are applied to your account upon receipt of payment (again $8 per month
per machine). The examples below show two circumstances of how Day Credits are applied
and how Day Credits affect multiple units. Note that there are only two expiration dates in

a year regardless of how many units are owned and when the units are activated. The rst

renewal date is set during initial activation will and always be the renewal date for the equip­ment, so mark your calendar!

Example 1: First machine is activated on Jan 1, 2010

- 182 free Day Credits are applied

- Master renewal date is Jul 1, 2010

- Invoice from the license manager for 182 Day Credits.

- Payment received before Jul 1, 182 Day Credits added to account.

- Owner logs into registration server and applies credits.

- Owner updates equipment, new renewal date is Jan 1, 2011

- Cycle repeats

Example 2: Second machine is activated on Feb 1, 2010

- Master renewal date remains Jul 1, 2010 (see #1 above)

- 152 free Day Credits are applied (to reach Jul 1, 2010)

- Balance of 30 Day Credits remain on account

- Invoice from license manager for 182 day credits (machine 1) plus
152 days (182 - 30) Day Credits unapplied = 334 days

- Payment received before Jul 1, 334 day credits added to account.

- Owner logs into registration server and applies credits.

- Owner updates machine 1 and 2, new renewal date is Jan 1, 2011.

- Next billing cycle, license manager will bill for 364 days (182+182)

- Cycle repeats.

6. SYSTEM SETTINGS

Now that the equipment is activated, you must set up the important parameters for operation,
(such as cost per minute, cost per player, volume, etc.) as well as make sure the game console
is properly set up for optimal user experience.

System settings can be adjusted in one of two ways: 1) Directly on the unit using a USB key­board/mouse.

Adjust System settings with a USB keyboard and/or
mouse. Power the Game Gate™ VU on by pressing the
power switch on the back panel of the machine. Wait
for the LED matrix to go past the “PLEASE WAIT” mes­sage while the system is loading.
Once the Game Gate™ VU is in attract mode, open the
coin door to gain access to the Game Gate™ VU user
panel. On the panel, locate the two USB service ports.
You will need at a USB keyboard and/or mouse to ad­just the system settings. Using both will make menu

navigation more efcient.

Note: Make sure that you are not currently playing a game (Game Mode) and that the
equipment is in the attract mode before connecting any USB device,
or the system will not go into the setup mode.

will give one player four minutes to play. Default value is 75 ($1=5 minutes). Also, if a 2-player
game is started, the seconds will be divided in half. In the example just given, this means that
one dollar of play would give both players two minutes and thirty seconds
to play. Click “Ok”.

Bonus Credits - If you wish to give players a discount at a certain credit level, select this op­tion to make adjustments.

Basic Settings: Attract Message

The Attract Message setting will change the message dis­played on the LED matrix in the Game Gate™ VU header

Basic Settings: Game Start Delay

The Game Start Delay is an important time value that ensures a positive player experience.
Video games vary greatly in the amount of time it takes to navigate menus and load before
game play will actually begin. The Game Start Delay is the amount of free time to allow to begin
a new game; the amount of time that will pass before the timer starts to count down. Games
that have a long load time in the beginning should be assigned a longer Game Start Delay to
account for this time. The Game Start Delay is free time that is only given on the start of a
new game, not the continuation of a game that is already in
progress.

Set the number of seconds by sliding the bar to the left or
right using the arrow keys on the keyboard or by dragging
with the mouse. Click OK to return the previous menu. De­fault value is 60 seconds.

from escaping the game to the Xbox 360® dashboard where they could otherwise alter
important settings on the Xbox 360® console. This option is defaulted to ON.

Add 2P Without Reboot - Very few games allow the addition of a second player mid-
game. The standard behavior of the Game Gate™ VU is to reset the game console
when adding a second player mid-game. This setting will override the standard behav
ior, allowing the user to add a second player during play without resetting the console.
As very few games support this, the option is defaulted to OFF.

This section provides options for handling the Game Gate™ VU licensing. Access this setting
to: manually attempt to renew a license, to extend the activation to the next renewal date. See
Section 5, for more information about the activation and renewal process.

Export License Request - This option will prompt you to connect a USB memory device if you

SYSTEM SETTINGS

have not already done so. The unit will then write out a license request to the USB memory
device.

Import License Response - This option will prompt you to connect a USB memory device if

you have not already done so. The unit will search the ash device for a valid license response

from the online registration server and apply it.

Request from Server - if your Game Gate™ VU is connected to the Internet, this option will
cause the unit to connect to the registration server and acquire any valid license updates. This
should generally not be necessary for Internet-connected units as they will periodically request
this information on their own. Online licensing may not be available in some areas.

Display License Information - This option will present a window displaying current license
information such as length and expiration date.

6.2e Advanced Settings: Licensing

6.2f Advanced Settings: Maintenance

Contained under this option are procedures which are unlikely to be needed on a regular basis,
but can be used to diagnose or correct some malfunctions in a Game Gate™ VU unit.

Review Maintenance Log - Selecting this option will present a window containing the mainte­nance log of the Game Gate™ VU. This log tracks all maintenance procedures, including the
dates and times they are performed.

Maintenance: Empty Currency - This option will display the current credit count in the ma­chine, and present the option to reset the counter. This is primarily used when the coin bucket
and/or bill acceptor magazine are emptied. The currency count can be compared to actual cur­rency in the unit to aid in the detection of theft or device malfunction. Emptying the currency and
resetting the counter will add an entry to the maintenance log detailing when the procedure was
performed, and the currency counter value at that time.

Date and Time - Occasionally the internal clock of the Game Gate™ VU unit will need set to
the correct date and time. This option allows you to set the date and time accordingly, and adds
an entry to the maintenance log detailing both original date/time and the newly set date/time.

Test Audio/Video - This option allows you to run tests of the audio and video systems. The
audio system can be tested for left/right stereo sound and high/low frequency. The high and low
frequency tests should cause the unit to emit a tone which should very smoothly transition from
a low pitch to a high pitch. Distortion or crackling noises are indicative of damaged equipment.
The video test will cause the LCD screen to cycle through several screens of solid colors, fol­lowed by several screens of grid layouts. Colors should appear solidly uniform across the entire
screen, and the grid lines should appear crisp and straight.

System Maintenance - These functions are generally reserved for in-depth troubleshooting
and system repair.

66

Flash System Firmware - This option will ash the base system rmware of the Game Gate™

VU unit. This option should only be used at the direction of technical support personnel. Incor­rect usage can cause the Game Gate™ VU unit to operate incorrectly and necessitate major
repair.

Run Troubleshooter - Activating this option will cause the system to enter a troubleshooting
mode. This should only be done at the direction of technical support personnel. Not available
on all units.

Enter Debug System - Not available on all units. This option allows the operator to access a
debug interface.

Conguration Data - A Game Gate™ VU unit stores conguration data internally. This informa­tion can be written out to a USB ash memory device for backup. Alternatively, a Game Gate™
VU can import conguration data from a USB ash memory device and recongure itself ac-

cordingly.

Export Conguration Data - This option will prompt you to connect a USB ash device if you
haven’t already done so, and then update it with the current conguration details of the unit.

6

SYSTEM SETTINGS

Import Conguration Data - This option will prompt you to connect a USB ash device if you
haven’t already done so, and then import any valid conguration data from the ash device.
Conguration data is stored uniquely to each machine on the ash drive, so a given unit can

only import data that it has previously exported, or has been generated by the online registra­tion server.

Restore Factory Defaults - This option will reset the unit’s settings back to factory specica­tions. This does not erase any software or rmware updates that the unit has received. All set-

tings stored previously are lost.

Overview

When the Game Gate™ VU is not being used by a player (no credits inserted), the Game
Gate™ VU will play videos on the LCD screen to attract the player and inform the player how to

get the game started. The Game Gate™ VU is designed to work with many le formats, such

SYSTEM SETTINGS

as AVI, MPEG, and WMV. We recommend les that are high denition 720p minimum for the

best picture and audio quality. The Attract Videos must be uploaded into the Game Gate™ VU

through a USB ash drive, such as the one included with each machine.

What Videos to Use

Quasimoto recommends that the videos displayed include at least one video clip of the current

game being played in the machine, such as a game trailer. High denition game trailers can be

found through internet searches on websites such as www.gametrailers.com.

It is also possible to load commercials for products, movie trailers, and other consumer notice
videos. Such videos can be sold as advertising opportunities. If you have a good location, this
is an alternative revenue opportunity in operating Game Gate™ VU.

6.4 Attract Videos

Video les will play in random order. To increase the frequency of particular videos, simply cre­ate more copies (with a slightly different le name) to increase the odds that a particular video

will play.

How to Load Videos

To load video les into Game Gate™ VU, you will need a computer and a USB ash drive, such

as the one included with the equipment. The example below assumes that the computer is run­ning a Windows based operating system, but the principle remains the same regardless of the
operation system being used.

Insert the USB ash drive to an available USB port on the computer.

6.5 Optimizing The Xbox 360®

Some adjustments must be made to the XBox 360® to optimize the console for this application.
To make these adjustments the Xbox 360® must be on and showing video. To do this, make
sure there is no game disk in the DVD driver. Power on the Game Gate™ VU, allow it to load
until the “Please Wait” message on the LED matrix is no longer showing. Open the coin door
and press the Free Coin button to add at least 5 minutes of time. Then press the “One Player
Game” button. The system will boot and take you into the Xbox 360® dashboard to adjust the
console’s settings.

DISPLAY SETTINGS

In order to get the best possible video quality out of the Xbox 360® and the Game Gate™ VU,

set the XBox 360 to high denition widescreen, which is accomplished through the Xbox 360®

dashboard. Use the handheld controllers to move to the system settings and set the video to
720p WIDESCREEN (see the XBox 360® owner’s manual for more details). The video quality

will improve and games will now run in high denition.

6

SYSTEM SETTINGS

STARTUP SETTINGS

The Game Gate™ VU frequently resets the XBox 360®. The design of the system is that the
game disc in the drive must be detected and automatically started when the system boots.
Default settings with the Xbox 360® usually have this already enabled, but if the game is not di­rectly booting and instead you are seeing the dashboard during boot, check the system startup
options in the dashboard to automatically boot to the disc. In the dashboard, go to the SYSTEM
tab, then scroll down to the STARTUP tab as shown and make the appropriate selection (see
the XBox 360® owner’s manual for more details).

73

6

Some adjustments must be made to the PLAYSTATION®3 to optimize the console for this ap­plication. To make these adjustments the PLAYSTATION®3: Must be on and showing video. To
do this, make sure there is no game disk in the DVD driver.

• Power on the Game Gate™ VU,

• Allow it to load until the “Please Wait” message on the LED matrix is no longer showing.

SYSTEM SETTINGS

• Open the coin door and press the Free Coin button to add at least 5 minutes of time.

• Then press the “One Player Game” button.

• The system will boot and take you into the PLAYSTATION®3 dashboard to adjust the

console’s settings.

DISPLAY SETTINGS

In order to get the best possible video quality out of the PLAYSTATION®3 with Game Gate™

VU, set the PLAYSTATION®3 to high denition widescreen, which is accomplished through the

display settings section of the menu. Use the handheld controller to move to the system set­tings and set the video to 720p WIDESCREEN (see the PLAYSTATION®3’s owner manual for

more details. Once the video setting is conrmed, the video quality will improve and games will
now run in high denition.

7. CUSTOMIZING THE APPEARANCE

The Game Gate™ VU has a modular graphic system “Quikskin”, which allows for the side

panels, marquee, and control panel to easily be updated to promote a specic game title. In

addition, the control panel has a slot to display the retail game case, which communicates the
game rating.

1. Keyboard and mouse - input devices not used with this application

2. DB-9 serial port 1 - not used with this application

3. DB-9 serial port 2 - connects to the timerboard PCB via a DB9 serial cable to relay data

regarding game status

4. RJ45 port 1 - connects via a Cat6 Ethernet cable to the Microsoft Xbox 360 video game
system (optional) for networked gaming purposes

5. USB ports (4) - two ports are connected to an extension cable to extend the ports to
behind the coin door (on the User Panel) which allows the operator (licensed user) to change
system settings through a USB keyboard and/or mouse. The other two USB ports are not
used with this application, unless a USB wireless receiver is added to the equipment (not
included)

6. RJ45 port 2 - connects the RMT to an external internet source (optional via a Cat6 ether­net cable).

7. VGA Port - a DB15-pin female connector for video output that is not used with this applica­tion.

8. HDMI Port - a video output that is not used with this application.

9. Audio in/out - the only connector used with the Game Gate application is the stereo audio
line out (green connector), which outputs the audio to the timerboard. Other connectors, such
as SPDIF are not used.

10. DIMM1, DIMM2 - Game Gate uses one 512mb SO-DIMM 200pin 800mHz memory in
DIMM1 slot. DIMM2 is not used with this application.

11. JPW1 Power input connector

12. ATX1 - 20 pin connector, standard ATX computer power input coding.
