– How many consoles can I connect at once?

You can have one console fully connected at one time, as there is only one set of the cables needed to connect the console to the monitor, controls panels, etc.

– How do I connect consoles?

Connecting a console or device to your machine can vary between platforms, for example, installing a PlayStation 4 will be different to connecting a PC tower to the machine. However, below is some general guides:

Firstly, make sure all the switches on the control panel are in the right position for the console you are putting in the machine – i.e. if you are installing a PS4, please make sure the switches on the control panel are on console and not PC, etc.

Secondly, put your console in the machine and plug the power cord into the power board, connect the HDMI cord (the other end of which should be connected to the converter), and plug in your hand controllers (or keyboard and mouse if you are using PC).

Thirdly, turn the machine and console on, and log into your account/s using the relevant first and second player controls.

For specific console instructions please refer to video tutorials available online.

– Are consoles secured in machine?

There are locks on both the front and back entrances to the machine, so in terms of security, when you put your console inside the machine it can be kept securely. However, the console itself is not secured to the inside of the machine, it is loose, and so if you need to move the Xtreme Game Wizard or a similar circumstance, you will need to take the console out of the machine first.

– Is there space for multiple consoles inside machine?

Space inside the machine is limited and it would be best to only place one console inside the machine at a time to avoid potential damage from overheating or similar issues.

– What is monitor resolution?

High Definition Resolution (1920x1080p)

The Xtreme Game Wizard arcade machine has a dual wiring system. The first wiring system supports JAMMA arcade hardware and the second supports home gaming hardware.
