Hey guys, Really dumb question, but I haven't found an absolute definitive answer yet, but can all MAME games be set on freeplay, therefore making the "insert coin" button useless for player one and player 2 controls? Also, what about daphne? I am trying to limit my buttons so I can use the ultrastick360 without an IPAC and curious if this is possible, and recommended or not recommended. Thank you for all your help. Without this forum I wouldn't even attempt this project. You all have been extremely helpful. Also, is there any recommendations to the most versatile joystick, regarding multiple MAME games? Basically, I play fighting games and the old games too and would like to have fluent gameplay on both. The ultrastick360 from ultimarc.com sounds like a good choice so far, but I was curious what everyone thought. |

No, MAME works just like the arcade so you have to either insert a coin by wiring up a coin door or(and) wiring up a freeplay button that makes MAME think a credit has been entered. If you want less buttons you could probably do this with the "shift" function on the I-pac but it doesn't sound like you to get one. I would advise installing an I-pac as you may find you want other admin buttons on your cab. EDIT: I'm not sure if the U360 software has shift functionality. If it does then you might be able to get away with not having an ipac. |

Set up the control in Mame so when you hit player one or player two you insert a coin and start the game. Some times you hit player one once and get a credit then it hit player one again to start. That is how I have mine set up. I am going to set up actual coin buttons in front of the CP but I had to order more buttons. When I play pinball teh front will be coin and start for the pin emulator and when in Mame both front buttons will be coins. |

If the original game has freeplay capability then you can set it using dipswitches or service mode. ex. Galaga uses dipswitches, Street Fighter Alpha 3 uses a service mode that's menu-driven |

Cool. Thanks tons guys. I forgot that I could map player 1 start to insert coin too. I may do that, or I may just get the extra buttons. Just kind of looking at my options on whether or not to get the IPAC and whether or not to get the Ultrastick360. The dipswitches mode is a good suggestion too! Just seems like it may be a pain to set up so I may just add the buttons after all. Just was debating on if the 2 buttons were worth buying the IPAC. I think it may after all. |
