Conversion Hardware Application

This ST-252 sheet was produced for Major Havoc conversion configurations. It should not be assumed to apply to every dedicated Major Havoc cabinet or hardware revision. Confirm the original cabinet, conversion hardware, PCB configuration, document number, and printing before downloading.

Self-Test and Diagnostic Displays

The sheet explains how to activate the cabinet self-test switch and interpret the operator-information displays. It identifies Gamma and Alpha processor fault indicators, RAM and ROM error locations, the Gamma microprocessor command number, coin counters, roller-control position, and other diagnostic information.

  • Gamma processor RAM and ROM fault identifiers
  • Alpha processor RAM fault locations
  • ROM checksum and component-location references
  • Operator-display labels and control functions
  • High-score reset and sound-test procedures

Play Options

The ST-252 sheet includes switch settings for starting lives, game difficulty, bonus-life intervals, attraction-mode sound, and adaptive difficulty. It also identifies the applicable switch bank and its PCB location.

  • Starting lives for Free Play, one-coin, and two-coin configurations
  • Hard, medium, easy, and demonstration difficulty settings
  • Bonus-life settings at 50,000, 100,000, or 200,000 points
  • Attraction-mode sound selection
  • Adaptive-difficulty selection

Price Options and Two-Coin Minimum

Pricing information includes Free Play, one-coin and two-coin game settings, left and right coin-mechanism multipliers, and bonus-coin adder schedules.

Hardware modification warning: The original sheet states that enabling the two-coin-minimum option requires shorting pin 6 at location 13N to ground. Do not attempt this modification without confirming the correct PCB and using appropriate electronics knowledge and soldering procedures.

Confirm the Correct Hardware

Arcade conversion configurations can differ by original cabinet, PCB revision, conversion kit, wiring, and control arrangement. Review the document number and product image carefully to confirm that ST-252, 2nd printing, matches the Major Havoc conversion hardware you are servicing.

Electrical Safety

Safety warning: Arcade cabinets may contain hazardous voltages, and CRT monitors can retain a dangerous electrical charge after power is disconnected. Use a qualified arcade technician if you are not trained to service arcade electronics safely.
