Title: AdvanceMAME Coins Question
Post by: heroic on October 05, 2004, 05:29:19 am

Is it possible to start a game only when player insert 2 coins (default is 1 coin = 1 credit)? Can I just edit the advmame.rc to make change on all games? It's too waste time to change the coins setting for each game individually. Please help.

Thanks.

you're making it sound like a business. If your intention is not for business, I don't think it should matter if its 1 or 2 coins or FREE Play. But I don't think you can do that in the rc file.
You can however do this in advmame.rc, if a player puts in 1 coin, it gives the player 2 or more credits.

You should be able to do it for some games but I'm not sure if you can do it for all games but if you use the line input_dipswitch[<insert dipswitch>] <param>
where dipswitch is the name of the dipswitch and param is the name of the param. Granted it may not be the same for all games and this will only work on games that have a dipswitch allowing it to be setable to 2 games to start.

The other option is you may be able to use the advmame scripting to do what you want. Good luck
