Mala\Mame saving coin input
severdhed:
i understand the argument, but i can also see how it would be very useful in a house with small children, being able to easily limit the number of tokens they can play per day or something like that.

Selling them with a cab that's turnkey for public use and profit! ;)

Yea I found some posts on this and the discussion didn't go too well.
I was asked for an interesting feature on a cabinet that I built for someone. Wants to make it so when you put a coin in it gives you 5 plays per game. They said it was way too easy to beat games when you have unlimited lives. Kind of like a lockout feature. One coin 5 Plays.
I figured there was a coin management software I could tweak but no one made theirs public cause of pressure...

That sounds more like a MAME tweak thing.

That was quoted from a user named headkraze
Need something like that. I quite like the idea of limiting play. My brother bragged about beating the crap out of DoDonPachi, even though the only reason he got anywhere was cause he died a bajillion times and bombed the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- out of everything
:banghead:
If the coin management thing isn't what I need. What could I do to achieve this?
