Anyone want to part with a couple MAME tokens?
« on: August 16, 2013, 11:55:53 pm »
Odd request, but anyone want to part with a MAME token ?  I'm working on making my game cabinet accept tokens.  Right now it accepts quarters, but I want to make accept tokens or both.

I want to get tokens from Arcade Replay but I'd rather test out before buying 200 and find they don't work.

Are there any arcades or pizza joints (ie. Chuck E Cheese's) near you that use tokens in their machines ? If there is chances are they use the same size tokens.

Don't you need to change out your coin validators for "token" ones (instead of quarter ones)?

check out this mod by Thenasty  Me and others have used it and the coin mech will take both quarters and tokens when done.  There are other hints too in the thread below that.
