Title: Coin Acceptor?
Post by: novyan on November 29, 2004, 01:15:34 am

Hi! Just another dumb guy here  :-[,

How do you connect a coin acceptor to a jukebox software (like Arcade, wincab or virtual jukebox)?  what's to consider in getting a coin acceptor.

Thanks a lot.

Coin doors have momentary switches that look like any other button.  Just wire those switches to your keyboard encoder and you're good to go.

O, thanks Chris!

About your wincab/doscab, Excellent! great job!

1 thing Tho, I can't imagine myself browsing over thousands of songs to look for that 1 song I am interested in playing.  What about having an index button to take us to a page for doing the artis/title search, just a thought.  I understand you'd like to keep it simple as an ol jukebox.  Once again excellent work you're doing there.

O, BTW, heard Music Touch Systems?  I tried the demo and this thing packed with some good features, you may want to look at it.  http://www.musictouch.co.nz/software.htm

I'm planning to implement this with pop-up windows and filters, which isn't even remotely realistic, but if someone doesn't like it they don't have to map a button to it.

That's Great!

I forgot to ask earlier, if the coin door's has a switch, how does the 2 credits work? With 2 coin acceptors?

AlphaToggle = True

Set AlphaToggle to False (or No, or Off, or Disabled, or 0) to disable this option.  (This should be the default; it looks like I accidentally shipped the latest beta with this set to True.)

O, ok not a problem

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking...

:D sorry for the poor explaination,
I meant I wanted to use a coin acceptor to work like; when only 1 coin inserted, it will give 1 credit but if 2 coins inserted will give me 3 credits (1 bonus)

Thank you for the great help!
