Wiring question
Havok:
Can't seem to find what I'm looking for, so perhaps someone can shed some light on this.
What I would like to do is wire up the cab to use a coin mech when I want to use tokens, or press say Player 1 AND Player 2 to trigger a credit.
Now, my question is, since they share a common ground, how can I make this a dual purpose? I would think that even if I wired these in series, it would still trigger no matter what since each button is already grounded?
markrvp:
If this is a MAME driven cabinet using either a KeyWiz or Ipac encoder, then that functionality is already built in without having to "double-wire" a button.
Please let us know what encoder you are using.
Havok:
Keywiz Eco.

The easiest way is to wire up a dedicated Shazaaam button. The default for adding a Player 1 coin is to hold the Shazaaam key and press the P1 Start button.
Are you able to put a dedicated Shazaam button (it won't have any other function) either on your CP or mounted below it where no one can see it?
Tiger-Heli:
You could also wire the Shazaaam button to generate Start one - like I mention in "I-PAC compatibility mode" at http://www.mameworld.net/tigerheli/encoder/shiftkeys.htm, but
Couldn't you just configure MAME so Coin 1 was "5 or 1 AND 2", or did I miss something obvious again.
