| why 2 "coin" buttons on the CP? |

| Naez:
HI all a thouhgt: is there a reason for having 2 buttons for "inserting coins", more than "it's cool to have a whole bunch of buttons on your CP" ? Are there some games that require this to be separate? |

There are a bunch of games where inserting a coin also starts your game, like the Simpsons or Xmen games. You'd choose a coin slot that corresponds to a character and go from there. If you wire up a coin button that inserts a coin for all 2/4 players, you'll instantly have 2/4 players on the screen.... even if its just you playing. That said, most of these games came with versions where characters could be chosen, so you might be ok. I prefer having a coin button for each player though, but I put them off the control panel whenever possible. |

There's no replacement for a coin door for authenticity. I do however intend to put hidden coin buttons recessed under the front edge of the CP. I already ordered my byoac tokens and I haven't even settled on a design |

I agree with Mark70 ... you only need one coin up button. I have mine hidden under the left side of the control panel along with the "TAB" and "ESCAPE" buttons. Basically, I'm a control freak ... hehe ... the "COINUP NAZI" so to speak. I get to decide who plays for free and who inserts quarters ... muhahaha ;D |

There are some games where player 2 can only put in credits in coin 2 (and some continues are that way). If you only have one make it centrally locaed where both players can access it. |
