I know it's anal: multiple credits when pressing coin button
QuixoteQuest:
I know this may be minor and fussy, but when we are playing Joust, if I hit the p2 coin button, or insert a quarter--either way-- it enters a credit of 4 coins. p1 coin button and coin door works fine: one quarter per press. Is this just a glitch with Joust? I can't find any control over this in the config menus. Other games aren't doing this. I've already trashed the Joust config files and restarted to no avail. It just bugs the hell outta me every time we play Joust with 2 players and the coin button does that. :D

No solution for you, but in case it makes you feel any better I just confirmed it happens for me too. Same thing on Robotron. Maybe a Williams thing???
Dmod:
Funny, I just noticed that last night as well.
I haven't tried yet, but within MAME you should be able to just remap (for the problem games only) both coin buttons to the P1 coin, and set the P2 coin to nothing (or keypress only).
Then both buttons will trigger the P1 coin.

It gives 4 credits because p2 coin is for the dollar slot on the 3 slot Williams door.
Try this to change it to one credit
Start Joust or any other Williams game.
Hold F1 down and hit F2 twice
You'll be in the menu
Go to Pricing Selection - Change to 0
Then change Center Slot to 1
Hit F2 to exit.

That's funny I didn't notice this same thing on other Williams games. Thanks for the advice. I will give it a spin tonight and see if I can "fix" Joust.
