insert coin (joust) strange problem
SirPoonga:
Why would it change if it is correct? Like I said, you gotta look at the wire diagrams and instruction manuals to see if both slots in the coin door are recommended to hook up to one input.

Well, I found a Joust schematic online. There's three inputs for coins, left center and right. I'd link it, but don't want to kill their bandwidth. Easy enough to find in a search, though.
I'm sure other games are similar.
I tried hacking in the support myself, and successfully got Joust with three coin inputs. Unfortunately the third slot inputted FIVE credits. Yah, I'm no emulation programmer! ;)
Edit: I got it, and it was easier than I thought.
Edit2: I *didn't* get it. It was registering the left coin input twice.
SirPeale:
Fixed it. Carlos Santillan noted that the servce button doesn't actually work, it triggers the right coin slot. So, moved some code around and now:
Left slot - 5
Right slot - 6
Center slot - 7
Reset high scores - 9 (it was 7 before)

I submitted the new driver to Gridlee. Whether or not it makes it into the next release is up to him.

Oh, if anyone wants it for themselves, it's on my website.
