Software Installation 

 

Important:

  Please be aware, when you use the System Disk you will erase all games as well as all settings 

and history for the coin and game audits stored in the game software. 

Upgrade the Operating System with the System Disk  

The System Disk will install the Multi-Game Platform software on your system. 

Note:

  This game platform does not use a floppy disk for booting as some earlier software versions did. 

1.  Power ON the computer and open the CD drive.   

2.  Insert the CD labeled 

System Disk

.   

3.  Turn the computer OFF and then ON.  The computer should boot from the CD.  You will see the Hard-

Drive Image process screens on the monitor.   

If the computer does not boot from the CD (the game starts), make sure the CDROM is set as the first 
boot device in the BIOS settings (see page 13).   

4.  When the Hard-Drive image process has finished, remove the CD and reboot the computer. 

5.  When the computer reboots, a Found New Hardware wizard will appear.  This occurs because the 

drivers for the Jaton 3DForce2 MX-64DDR video card are supplied on the 

Invasion Earth

 Game 

Software CD, or a separate VORTEK Video Driver CD.  Install video drivers 

only

 from disks supplied 

by GLOBAL VR. 

Insert the 

Invasion Earth 

Game Software CD (or the separate VORTEK Video Driver CD).  The 

wizard will install the drivers from the CD.  (The game will 

not

 be installed at this time.  To run this 

game, you must purchase the game kit that includes the correct game dongle.) 

6.  Once the drivers are installed, you will see a dialog box with a 

Finish

 button.  Remove the CD, reboot 

the game, and install the game software. 

Install the Game Software CDs 

Important:

  GLOBAL VR recommends that you install 

Operation Blockade

 first, and 

Invasion Earth

 

last, as this has proven to be the most successful order to ensure that the games install properly.  (Disregard 
if not installing these games.) 

The cabinet must be powered ON and running the attract mode to install new game software.  If no games 
are installed, make sure that you see the mouse pointer for the Windows XP Operating System before 
inserting the game CD. 

1.  Connect the game dongle(s) to the USB port or USB hub.  (See page 13 for more information.)
