Start games up in "FREE PLAY" mode instead of installing coin buttons?

MartyNg:

I'm brainstorming for a new control panel, and I was wondering if anyone knows a way to start all MAME games in "Free Play" mode instead of needing to bother with extra buttons, or with a "Shift function". This might be easier for guests if possible. Thanks.

I know I have seen this asked before and if I recall some games can't be set to free play and I don't think there is a setting to set all games.  I think you would have to do each one.

I could be wrong, it does happen now and then  :)

Konrad:

You're right Squirrel.

1. Not all games support freeplay (actually that are not just a few).
2. You'll have to set the dipswitches for each game which does.

Chris:

And they're not all set by dipswitches; some are set in service menus.

MinerAl:

Lots of games won't do their attract mode/screen saver when set on free play.
