Attach coin input to MAME?
(1/3) > >>
AE35:
Hi all! I'm new here!

I'm building my own MAME machine, but I've decided that I really need a coin input that works!

So, would this work with MAME and I-PAC??

Thanks! Glad to be here!

It would work, but it's not exactly arcade-accurate. The Happs price is going to jump up a bunch once you calculate their shipping too.
Do a search on Ebay for coin doors, you'll find several that will be better for your project.
Havok:
The feature where you put a sample coin in and then it takes only that type of coin is very cool though...

It could certainly be made to work. But Happs will absolutely kill you on the shipping.
AE35:

Great!

But how would it work? would it be possible to connect the coin
wires from the I-PAC(or whatever output I choose) to the coin mech?

I live in Denmark, so it should be able to do Danish coins: ;D

Thanks!

Havok:
All mechs work basically the same: when the coin makes it through as a "valid" coin, it trips a switch. You should be able to connect those outputs to the ipac, or any other controller.
