hi, i am building a cab with a computer in (i have built all my controls) its not a mame cab but since you all have a lot of experince with cabs i thought this was the best place to ask.. the game is a dance machine emulator www.stepmania.com i have built my pads which connect via a ps2 to pc convertor and they work perfectly to a computer running windows xp... all i need now is a way of connecting a coin mech to the pc to "start" the game when a coin is put in at the moment to put a coin in you press f3 would there be a way to press a key when a coin is put in are there any coin mechs i should use? thanks for reading this |

All coin mechs are pretty much the same. If you hacked an extra keyboard (look around this website for FAQs), it would be very simple to wire the mech to work off of F3. You would hook it up just like any other key on a keyboard. |

have have bene looking for coin mech guides but i ahve only found coin door guides... i have a friend who works for a uk amusment company but he needs a type of coin mech? any models or comanys |
| RoboG2:
What do you mean by coin mech guides? The coin mech is part of the coin door and only affects the coin you can put in and whether or not it it the correct coin or not. Get pretty much any coin door you want and get the coin mech for the type of coin yuo want (US quarter, dime, nickel, Canadian coins, etc.). |

sorry im a little confused with it :D so you have your coin door which is where you stick your coin in (the slot) and the coin mech checks if its the right one. what sends the signal to the machine and are there any guides on it? |
