By transmitting function information indicative of functions of a game
machine manipulation device CT10, previously stored therein, to a game
machine main body 27 with a command from the game machine main body 27, it
is possible to retrieve functions of the game machine manipulation device
CT10 required for the game machine main body 27 and to set the retrieved
functions of the game machine manipulation device CT10 in the game machine
manipulation device CT10. Further, by transmitting function information
indicative of consumed power of respective response means 21, 51 of the
game machine manipulation device CT10, which is previously stored in the
game machine manipulation device CT10, to the game machine main body 27
with a command from the game machine main body 27, it is possible to
determine response means 21, 51 required for the game machine main body 27
and a power value to be applied to the response means, and to set the
determined information to the response means 21, 51 of the game machine
manipulation device CT10.
