Dam snap! lol. seems a bit pants, also I dont have the coin setup although it is set for free play. I didnt want to go drilling more holes than needed in the cocktail cab should i put service and test buttons inside?

You should hide the service and test buttons because once set up your 60 in 1 should not need them and they will only mess up regular game play.

you dont need coin button if board is set to freeplay.

when you return to the menu after playing a game you need to press player 1 once to move around the menu - really dont know why they chose to do that!!

I actually feel the opposite way. I would love to be able to add that feature to my cab - having to press a button when you want to exit makes it seem more like you're running a program and less like a real arcade game, not to mention guests getting confused about how to exit.

I don't know how to do that though with a PC running Mame - does anyone have any idea how those boards know to exit when the game is over? Some kind of Mame derivative/hack that they use?

I can see that...
but it does cause some problems with continues, although on some games I've found If I enter back in quick enough I can continue, also it boots you out of the game so you can't see the high scores or watch the whole intro  :angry:

Are you telling me those 60-in-one gets you back to game selection menu once you're game over?

that sucks big time!

What I'd like is to "choose a game, and leave it there until I decide to change". (I'm with nitz, it doesn't look like an arcade if you're brought back to the menu)

What do you expect from cheap ---smurfy--- low-quality MAME bootlegs made with ancient versions of MAME, and 0 quality control?

The games seems to run very well. Not bad for the price easier than installing pc and software i think.

if it behaves like you want.

something wrong however is that you have little control over the setup, games, look and feel. So; if it doesn't behave like you want in addition to that, where's the deal?
