IJoeG on KLOV was going to sell these but I didn't see where he actually put out a shingle. Might be worth sending him a PM.

Just change

BGFX scanlines are really easy to activate aswell,i think there less resource hungry too.

# OSD VIDEO OPTIONS

video bgfx
#
# BGFX POST-PROCESSING OPTIONS
#
bgfx_path bgfx
bgfx_backend auto
bgfx_debug 0
bgfx_screen_chains crt-geom
bgfx_shadow_mask slot-mask.png
bgfx_lut
bgfx_avi_name auto
or crt-geom-deluxe.I use these on a lcd and of course you dont need to add curvature. Another option tho.

Thanks - I will also check this out and report back.

Thanks - I just posted in his thread over there. Hopefully he will respond. His stickers look very cool.
So... I had always thought I could wire 2 buttons to one input on the iPAC2 but this doesn't seem to be the case. For my coin door I wired both switches on the coin mechs to COIN1 and COIN2 on the iPAC2. I also added two additional switches that you can press using the coin return. I wired these directly to COIN1 and COIN2 on the iPAC2 as well. So each of COIN1 and COIN2 have 2 wires coming out of the screw terminal. All 4 buttons share GROUND. The switches in the mechs work fine but the switches behind the coin returns do not work at all. Is this because they are sharing GROUND? Should I just wire these to some unused screw terminals and change the behavior in MAME? Any idea why this isn't working?
Thanks. :cheers:

You can wire an unlimited number of shared-ground switches in parallel to IPac inputs.
_____/____

Ground ____|____/____|____Coin 1
As long as Ground and Coin1 are connected to the microswitch COM and NO tabs, it will work.
If you had bought a multimeter last month, you could easily troubleshoot this problem now. [/KiddingOnTheSquare] :P >:D

Thanks. This is what I thought but it makes no sense that 2 buttons work and 2 do not. This is what I did:
NO on P1 Coin Mech switch to COIN1 on iPAC2
NO on P1 Coin Return switch to COIN1 on iPAC2
NO on P1 Coin Mech switch to COIN2 on iPAC2
NO on P1 Coin Return switch to COIN2 on iPAC2
GND on P2 Coin Mech switch to GND on P2 Coin Return switch to GND on P1 Coin Mech switch to GND on P1 Coin Return switch to GND on Button 3 on CP to GND, etc. all the way to GND on iPAC2.
Both Coin Mech switches work but the switches I installed behind the Coin Returns do not. I even tried another switch thinking that maybe I had a bad one (two, actually) and it didn't work either. All the of wiring seems correct. Makes no sense!
Yeah... it's about time I sprung for a multimeter - would it be able to detect a signal that faint?
