I-Pac problem#2 Solved!!!
AlanS17:
Open up notepad.exe in Windows if you can. Then drop a coin. What's the output? (You can substitute notepad for a DOS prompt or anywhere to see the text display.)
joshbr7257:
mine does this too.... when i press 1player start it works fine just 1 coin, but 2plyaer start drops 2 coins?
JCL:
Do you have this wired to a real coin mechanism or a switch? A switch probably works correctly, but an old badly adjusted coin mech might be problimatical.
I tend to doubt it is the ipac. I think software or other harware is more likely at fault.

I had a problem with a few microswitches that would register 2 clicks every time I pressed the button. Issue was internal to the switch. I slowly pressed in the small actuator on the switch and as it was being depressed it registered one click (closing the circuit), then as I released it registered a second time (closing the circuit). In notepad, instead of it continually repeating the keystroke as it was held down, it only registered once - once button fully depressed the circuit in the switch would become open.

Do you both (Qbert247 and joshbr7257) have coin buttons wired to discrete I-PAC terminal, or are you using the shift function to add coins?
