Title: How do i wire in my coindoor?
Post by: notroubleclubber on October 25, 2008, 09:28:20 am

Ive done a mame conversion on my neo geo mv4 cab. Basically chopped the wires at the jamma connection end and wired them into the ipac.

Ive wired a seperate button to the ipac for coins (prog it for 5) but would like to start using the coin door again. It worked --BINGO! Either that, or I was attempting to say "before" but it was too many letters to type-- converting so how do i wire it up? I will put a keyswitch on the seperate button i got so i can turn off the credit button when i want to.
I wanted to start using my cab as money box hence why i want the coin door working.

Unfortunately,  this is one of those topics that can't  be discussed in these forums.  See,  MAMEDev,  for legal purposes,  frowns on coin door usage and being that this is a MAME friendly site,  I am guessing this post will be shot to POST HELL in no time flat.

Now that said,  keep in mind that a coin door simply has a microswitch in the path of the coin that gets hit causing a credit to be added.  With that in mind,  take a look at your coin door and work your way back from the switch.
