Hello There

I going to make a arcade system and would have it coin operated just wondering what should I use MAME pc based program etc
how do i use mame and how do i get it to boot straight in to it with out no need of mouse etc
i got buttons and joystick
I would like to play games like Pokemon pacman king kong and lots more games
and how do i use and wire up the coin oprerated mechine slot to compter and be able to use it so user's can play games
after the coin has been put in
and i would like to know how i can make a game select menu so user's can select game and then insert coins to play
I wont to be able to use joysitck for the games and navagtion as I would not like a mouse or keyboard being operated
Once I know how to use mame etc I would set up the pc for it
I just wont to press power button and mame to start up and i select game and insert coins

I would start by downloading MAME and start playing around with it. Most of what you are asking is built into it. Get the easy to use version here (it's what I use)

You won't get a lot of help setting things up to take quarters before choosing a game because it would benefit someone who wants to use MAME to make money, which is a violation of the license. ;)
There is a section in the wiki about hiding windows.

Are there coin-op Pokemon games in MAME?

Using mame for profit without express written permission by the mame team violates Mame's EULA. Stop, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.

Yea all the classics like Pokemon
