Bypassing coin slot??

<< < (2/2)

darcyp:
make sure that there is wire running from the microswitch on the coin mech into the encoder or jamma harness or whatever else. basically just make sure that there are two wires coming from the switch and both are hooked up to something.

DaOld Man:
Take a short piece of wire and touch it to two of the terminals on one of the switches. Touch it to the terminals that already have wires connected. The idea is to "short" these two terminals. If a credit registers on the game, then the switch is bad. To double check, move the actuator (bent wire that the coin moves) all the way down with your finger, see if a credit registers.
If credit dont register by shorting out the switch, then the problem is in the wiring. Double check for a loose plug somewhere.

mgb:
If tests show that the coin switches are good, then look into your button settings in mame (tab).
I recently worked on someones mame cab that all of sudden stop working. it turned out that his mame setting weren't pointing to his coin switches.
I think one his kids may have accidently reset them. His cab didnt have an Ipac though, it had hacked usb game pads.

Malenko:
Are you using an IPAC (P1 start +P1 button one) ?
