AMI Music Catalog Download

Download this file and install it on your game to greatly reduce the amount of time it takes the game to download the initial music catalog.

Before loading the file on an Ion game, you can choose to use the full or reduced music catalog.  Using the reduced catalog will help improve performance and download speed by reducing the available music to the top 99% of all AMI songs. To select which catalog is used, press the setup button on the game.  Then touch System, AMI Setup and then Options.

NOTE: This download is only for the first time you link your game to the jukebox. After they are linked, the game will automatically download the new catalogs.
IMPORTANT: This file will be updated every Tuesday when the AMI catalog is updated. Therefore, make sure you have the latest file when you install it on your game, or the game will still need to download the latest catalog.

NOTE: This file will only work with games running Ion or Force 2007.5 software (version 23.XX) or later.
It is only for customers linking their Megatouch games to AMI-powered jukeboxes.

To install this file, you will need:

1. a personal computer with a CD or DVD burner

2. a blank disc (at least 120 MB)
3. a CD or DVD drive
4. a centronics cable to connect the CD or DVD drive to the game

                         OR...

1. a personal computer with a USB port
2. a USB pen - at least 65 MB (supported by Merit software)
   NOTE:  A USB pen kit (part number KAV-100-008-02) is available through Merit.
