I'll be using that function to have a "secret" way of dropping coins without inserting an actual coin. --- End quote --- In MAME, they are all "secret" unless you can get into the admin section. :) --- End quote --- By secret I just meant that there will not be a dedicated button for it. Unless I told some one how to do it, they would never know. That's all. Trying to keep it as authentic as possible. |

It could be two, three or more. But obviously, you would want to assign them to combinations which wouldn't be pressed in the course of normal use. |

It is a really handy feature for people who don't want admin buttons....and for people with children. For my kid's machine, I use 3 button combos quite a bit for the admin functions to keep him from accidentally changing the settings or quitting the game when he slams around on games. |

This reminds me I need to change the combination I use for pause on my candy cab. Currently I use start + button 3 but lots of shmup games use button 3 as bomb and when I un pause it wastes a bomb on me. Simple solution just to move it to start + button 6 but I haven't remembered around the machine yet. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus |

I personally use start + Right on joystick for pause. Just throwing that out as an option because I know it can be a stretch to hit start + button 6 with one hand. :) |
