Coin Return "button" in MAME?
javeryh:
I'm about to wire my cab and I have a coin door that I would like to have hooked up properly. I know how to wire up the "insert coin" buttons (I think) but is there something else I need to do to get the coin door to give the quarter back and in turn take the credit back?
RayB:
Arcade games don't work that way. Vending machines do. Not arcade games. If you put a quarter in and get a credit, that's it, you've made your donation to the Game God whether you use it or not.
Arcade game coin returns are mechanical. If your quarter gets stuck and doesn't register a credit, you push the coin return button which mechanically, causes the mechanism inside to release the coin into the return chute.

Well that explains it! Thanks!!!

That said, I had the idea of somehow wiring my 2 coin return buttons to be pause and reset.
