Motion detecting switches...

Sinner:

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a motion detecting switch (IE: mercury switch)...that could be used with VPinMAME...when you give the machine a shove, the switch would activate and signal a key press for the left/right push...does this make sense??

Sinner:

Oooops, I thought I was in the MAIN forum...can someone move this?  I tried to delete the thread, but it won't let me...
Thanks...

A machine (Midway Open Ice JAMMA cabinet) that I picked up for a buddy had a tilt mechnism in it.

Don't have any pictures, but it was basically a light leaf switch with the leaf pointing up and a magnet or weight attached to the top. Rocking the machine would cause the leaves to contact and presto magico ... TILT.

Now, I haven't seen one since, but they do exist.

EDIT: I have now seen one since ...
