Coin reject buttons as input in MAME!
djsting:
On related topic I have a question about the MAME coin up buttons. Are 5 and 6 the only ones? This would be player 1 and 2 but what about players 3 and 4 coin up buttons? FYI: I will be using the iPac4 if this makes any difference. But I do still want to know the keyboard keys for this.

5/6/7/8 are p1-4 coins
1/2/3/4 are p1-4 start
most games you can use any coin in any slot, but some like Gauntlet tie the coin slot to the player
back on topic I got my leaf switches and some small plastic brackets that should work for mounting.. I need to rearrange some wiring anyway so Im gonna give it a shot. If it works I'll get some pics

I have a "Function" key on my CP that I use as a shift key, and when it's held down the Start buttons are Start 3 and Start 4 (useful for Track and Field and Trivial Pursuit) and the coins are Coin 3 and Coin 4 (pretty useless on my 2 player cab, but there just in case.)
And I know I could remap the buttons, but for non-play buttons like coins and start where there is little worry of ghosting, I just stuck with the regular keys. It was only one extra wire to my coin door...

I also did this, to mount the switches I used plain old krazy glue. works great.
to make the coin reject buttons move smoothly just take out the coin mech. works like a champ.
