All you need to do is: TAB INPUT GENERAL select COIN# hit Enter quickly select the 2 buttons you to use (5 then P1button1) so it looks like COIN 1 5 Whateverbutton Now when you press this 2 buttons together, you get your credits. There's really no need for SHITFTING |

I recommend either disabling the shift function completely, or reprogramming it (Default for P1 and P2 is the escape key... which exits the game). 3M makes a double sided tape (about an 1/8" thick) that works great for mounting a microswitch behind the coin reject buttons (I tried hot glue, and got sick of reglueing). For certain games I have button #7 (that mostly usesless, extra NeoGeo button) mapped as a coin button. There's also buttons on the side of the base that were originally intended for pinball, but thats the same as reaching for the reject button. |

Yikes! I use MacMame. Esc just pauses the game and allows you to access menu items in this particular MAME flavor. If Esc exited the game I would disable the shift function too! -S |
