nearly got a machine up and running, its 6 buttons per player with trackball and 1 & 2 player start, its got a coin mech mars ms , take different denominations of coins. my question ,is i ve saw machines with 2 mechs on them will 1 mech be ok for 2 player games? ir do i need to add a credit button? also admin keys for tab, escape, pause ( and anything else i think of), should i add buttons for these or just shift them? dont want lots buttons on cp? i should be able to use joy stick for menu down ect |

One coin mech is fine for a lot of games, but some two player games did look for the second player coin switch before they'd count the second player start. There are ways to trigger the second player switch without having a mech, like making a paper or cardboard chute that makes the coin fall across the second player coin switch. It's really a matter of personal preference, but for me having lots of extra MAME only buttons on the control panel looks cluttered and ugly. I am considering putting an ESC button in an out of the way place on the bottom of the panel, but that's about it. |

Yeah, if you want to play games like Gauntlet/Gauntlet II, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Simpsons, they require separate coin inputs for each player. I'm sure there are others, but those are ones I'm familiar with. |
