Do I need two coin buttons for a two player cabinet?

(1/5) > >>

upper2bits:
I'm hoping to just get away with two start buttons and one coin button and with those I can perform the admin tasks I need. I see a lost of cabs that have two coin buttons, do some games require that?

CrazyKongFan:
Yes, some games do require a coin switch for each player. A few I can think of off the top of my head are Simpsons, Gauntlet and Gauntlet 2.

+1 Might as well do the same thing with coin 1 for player 1.

You could also map coin1 and coin2 as the same button as start1 and start2. When you press start, it will coin up first, when you press start again it will start the game.

Thenasty:
You also have the option to set the games for FREE PLAY (lots of game support it).

Is this a setting in Mame or is this a type of micro?
