Good morning, i seach an Insert-Coin sound, when you insert a real coin into a Cab this kind of noise. And i plan to use it with Mame when i press key 5 it shold first play this coin sound and then then go on with the game sound. I'm not a programmer so i dont know how to solve this, i have the I-Pac and i could use a free key for starting a small external program for playing just this Insert-Coin sound, and after that it should examine the standard key 5. Any helps here, maybe someone wrote such a programm allready? Best regards Gh0sty |

How will you write a program to do this if your not a programmer? Anyhow, the best way to get a coin drop sound is to record sound from Mame32 then hit 5 it will play the coin drop sound of any of your favourite games. To play a sound it's as simple as using the PlaySound API function in winmm.dll. Your program would basically look like this... --- Code: ---#include "stdafx.h" #include <mmsystem.h> #define VK_5 0x35 int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) { while (1) { Sleep(500); if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_5) & 0x8001) PlaySound("1up.wav", NULL, SND_FILENAME | SND_ASYNC); } return 0; } --- End code --- Okay I decided to compile it for you. Attached is the program above. |

hey headkaze, many thanks for the help so far! i'm at work right now and only can test out your prog later tonight at home, i still dont know how it will work, or how to start it, but i will test everthing. You write " the best way to get a coin drop sound is to record sound from Mame32 " what do you mean with this? right now a friend is recording a real WAV sound from an Arcade Cab for me. Does Mame32 have one build in ?? R Gh0sty |

I attached some WAV sound files of coins being inserted into a game. Hope it helps you out. |
