Coin Door Problems
Tokey:
I've having some problems with credits registering and my coin door. If I open up notepad, every single time I drop a quarter in it works perfectly (registers as "C" and "W" for coin 1 and 2).
In some games like 1944 it works perfectly. In some games like Street Fighter Alpha 3 nothing happens when I put credits in. And some games like Puzzle Bobble when I put a coin it the screen says "Coin Error".
Any guesses? I was thinking maybe I had something hooked up wrong and was going to try rewiring stuff when I get home, but I don't think that's the issue since it works perfectly in notepad.

is exactly what's happening, I must have wired them wrong.

So how do I know which one is NC and which one is NO?
I just have them wired like this:
______
|____
|
|____ (wired)
_____.|
|
|____ (wired)
Does it matter which wire goes to which (polarity)? Or do I just need to change it to be the top and bottom instead of the bottom two?

look at the picture towards the bottom of the buttons...this is generally the way microswitches are set up:

So I need to make it the top 2 instead of the bottom 2 according to that? I'll try that as soon as I get home.
