so technically any coin door with mech would work aslong as i just wire the coin door to the control pad button with no need to use a voltage of any kind? |
| BobA:
You still need a voltage and a ground to make a circuit but the voltage is available with any console gamepad that plugs in and will have a voltage and ground. |

Whatever is feeding the switch in your drawing, you simply feed to the switch at the very bottom of the coin door mech. It's the same, simple switch used for buttons and joysticks. A "common" connector, and both NO and NC connectors. You can send ground through it, or whatever your console is expecting via the joystick. Just extend the wires down, which you were already doing in your drawing. |

Im not sure how familiar you are with hacking a dreamcast pad but are you saying that its exactly the same as adding a button. e.g wire to the switch and a daisychain to ground. |
