So would you pay to play your own cabinet? With what you're saying, you would have us go to arcades and play MAME versions of games, not the real thing. That's not why I go to arcades.

I still pay to play real machines when I find them, and even with my MAME cabinet, I still want the real thing.

Nobody said that you broke the rules.

He asked simple question about arcade controls, and some people are basically saying that this can be done, but we are not going to tell you because its secret or rule violation

Don't be hypocrites now people. Every single person in these forums are breaking many kind of rules/laws allready.
Just help the guy out if you know solution, thats why this forum exist right?

You said that we should break the rules and that we were hypocrites for not doing so.
Manre Boo:
Actually I am planning to pay to play my own cabinet. When cab is ready, every single credit i play i put coin in cabinet. :)

I was talking about bringing cabinets to other peoples hands than arcade enthusiasts. Next generation propably will never see live arcade cab in their own eyes. We enthusiasts can play our cabinets yeah, but other people can't play them anywhere.

As I stated I am not going to ask anyone to break rules anymore, but just remember next time you break a rule to gain something, then you indeed are a hypocrite. Time will come eventually.

You really don't get it, do you ?

We are talking about following saint's specific rules for posting here.

I don't give a toss what rules you break elsewhere.

Man... Did I do this...?  :-)

Since we are on the subject...  when I was younger I worked at a comic shop and another local shop had either Xmen. or TMNT, cant remember which, but in any case, they rented the machine from somewhere  The manager somehow figured out to make it free play, which I didnt even know was possible... for the employees after hours...  I guess someone got wind of it and the company took the machine back, stating they violated the rules, which they DID.  But what is really stopping people from putting a mame cabinet in your local shop or whereever... hooking up the coin slot and NOT put a coin button on...  Then using whatever front end you want...  wouldnt you just pick the game you wanted, hit select and it would still need quarters right?  I wouldnt put it past people, but I wonder if there are any cases of exactly this.

It reminds me of the people who stole PONG from that guy and then made arcades to put in donut shops and stuff, I guess the owner called a couple days later and said the machine was broke... it wasn't...  I was FULL of quarters.  :-)
