Looking for black "Coin" or ".25" buttons
MaxVolume:
I'm just confused by anyone would want a dedicated "coin" button on a cabinet... kind of screams "THIS IS A MAME MACHINE NOT A REAL ARCADE CABINET" doesn't it? :lame:
I prefer to use a "combo", like pull the joystick toward the coin door, then press 1P start. I guess if the wife's having trouble finding a dedicated button a combo would make it worse, but yikes, how difficult is that to remember?
ChadTower:
Pulling down the joystick and pressing 1P start doesn't scream MAME cabinet?
Dude, it is a MAME cabinet. :cheers:

I always ask prospective players if they've got any quaters first...then I show them the button.. :cheers:
I'm thinking about getting a change machine and some tokens.

My first cabinet had a coin door. Nobody had coins, and nobody but me knew the button combo for adding coins. Build #2 dumped the coin door and put in buttons. People still don't know how to put buttons in until I tell them, and then they know. No button combos to remember. If I had buttons that said "Coin" or something on them, then it would be perfect.
PS. My cabinet says "MAME" all over it. I built it from scratch like many others. If I was recreating an authentic cab, I would use the coin door again and have nothing that wasn't in the original design.

I love that I have a coin door, but it's never used. I do the "demonstration quarter" once in a while for visitors, but otherwise, it's ignored. I have to build a slim cab for a family member and that will not have a coin door.
