Yo. This has been done and there is a build of MAME for it. Oh yeah, paying $25 for a knocker is just insane. Here is the definitive source about it: http://www.johnsretroarcade.com/hardware_knocker.asp#pictures As you will see on Johns site, you just hack into a 30v power supply from Radio Shack for the power. There is no substitute for playing Q*bert with a knocker. And to all of you people who make "knocker" jokes, what great senses of humor and sharp wit you have! |

I am not going to use that specific build of mame because it relied on the keyboard leds, which I use. I have to make my own... I even said that in the thread you linked :) However, where I need ot modify the code is the same, just need to output to a different device. |

Factor in the relay and other misc. components, not to mention the cost of sales tax and the solenoid itself and you will be well past $25. So what's your point with the above comment? RandyT |
