Coin2=6 and 8    (p2 and P4)

So now when a coin is drop in player1 slot, it gives Player 1 and 3 credits and so for droping coin in slot 2, P2 and P4 gets credits.

The problem with this solution, as mentioned in the initial post, is that there are certain games that will insert the player into the game automatically on coinup.
Using this method, when P-1 coins up, P-3 will also enter the game--with nobody there to control it.

Since he will have 4 player starts, try this way
I see, so maybe just set MAME this way

START1 = 5 and 1
START2 = 6 and 2
START3 = 7 and 3
START4 = 8 and 4

So it automatically inserts coins and start the designated player.

I got a 4-slotted coin door for my 4-player cab.    I dont charge people to play either so this is just for looks (although it would work if you drop quarters in).   I added 4 coin insert buttons (one for each player) since I did not want to make my friends have to constantly bend down to add quarters all the time.   Yeah it would be fun to add quarters during the first hour but after that I would imagine it would become an annoyance ..... my 2cents.
