You can wire the coin 1/coin 2 to the same switch and it will insert two coins. I'm not sure, but I think there were some games, though, that would start a two-player game if you put coins in both slots and only hit Player 1 Start. Do you have a coindoor or just a mech? |

I have two coin mechs and I have them wired up as two distinct buttons. However, the only game I've played where this is helpful at all is Gauntlet. Some games don't recognize the coin 2 input. Other games treat it, by default, as a multiplier and give you 2 or 4 credits when you trip it. To reduce the confusion I globally configured MAME to recognize both mechs as coin 1. Then I went into Gauntlet and configured it to recognize coin 2. IF you only have one coin slot, you could easily go into a game like Gauntlet and configure it to accept a button on the CP as coin 2, or coin 3, etc. So it's still possible to play them. You don't really need a special, dedicated button for that. (Although I suppose you might want one if you expect to play those games a lot.) |
