Coinlock Disabled Pop-UP (How to turn off?)
« on: October 02, 2011, 04:03:29 pm »
In games like 1944 and some others when you but like a "butload" of coins in, you get a pop-up that "Coinlock is Disabled".

Sometimes it stays onscreen for a while and ruins the arcade experience.

Anyone know how to stop it?

Code: [Select]

  778  ------------------
  779 
  780  -[no]coin_lockout / -[no]coinlock
  781 
  782      Enables simulation of the "coin lockout" feature that is implmeneted
  783      on a number of game PCBs. It was up to the operator whether or not
  784      the coin lockout outputs were actually connected to the coin
  785      mechanisms. If this feature is enabled, then attempts to enter a coin
  786      while the lockout is active will fail and will display a popup message
  787      in the user interface. If this feature is disabled, the coin lockout
  788      signal will be ignored. The default is ON (-coin_lockout).
