Insert coin before selecting game? This possible?

Well since Hyperspin was mentioned as frontend, and that is meant to support multiple systems at same time, i believe it wouldn't matter if other systems worked with coin lock too?

It could be made with timed mode where 1 coin buys you 10 minutes of game for example.
Similar to these things: http://gizmodo.com/379351/coin+op-nes-requires-serious-magic-fingers
Wouldn't propably need big adjustments to Hyperspin software to achieve similar system.

And yes I like to put coins in my arcade cab..Its great piggy bank at same time  ;D

When I asked about paying to play your MAME cab, I didn't mean this. I meant if you had to pay and you didn't get the money back. Why would anyone want to pay to play a MAME cab?

loyal; yes; biased, no.

the owner of the board doesnt want us discussing how to coin up in a menu; the devs of the software dont want us discussing how to coin up in a menu, but you think we should so you believe we're in the wrong.


To sumrize: No one is saying there isnt a benefit to being able to coin up in a menu; we are just saying that more harm then good can come from it; especially people using MAME for commercial endevors. Trust me, we all understand your point and agree its a neat idea that we just dont want to/cant discuss.
Ginsu Victim:
Plus, there's just no reason for a home user to do it. It's just someone WANTING to do it, but it's not vital to use.
Manre Boo:
So we canno't discuss to coin up NES or C64??

And if I was some common folk who don't got time or will to build own arcade cab, yes I would pay to play MAME cab.
