Title: coin system on pc?
Post by: apple tech geek on April 10, 2017, 01:30:52 pm: iam buying a cheap broken arcade cabinet with coin door iam trying to find software that adds time to the pc when a certain keyboard key is presses (simulating a credit) then after the time has exprie the screen would fade with like you have x amount of secconds to add credits to contiune and if that is not done the program wil push a certain macro to exit the existing program (maximus arcade)
and with key press i mean breaking apart a keyboard and wireing the coin system to a keyboard key
is there any software that could do this or any idea how to do this?

Because i dont profit from cabs, i tried to use a coin soft provided once from someone here, but it really does not work good, i tried autohotkey timers and they work ok. But if you want to profit then you are looking for thins things at ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Multi-Coin-Acceptor-USB-timer-control-board-cafe-kiosk-/260843037522?hash=item3cbb74e352:m:msEarttLtUg5YiDxFUJLskA (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Multi-Coin-Acceptor-USB-timer-control-board-cafe-kiosk-/260843037522?hash=item3cbb74e352:m:msEarttLtUg5YiDxFUJLskA)
