Creating a coin door for a dreamcast cabinet.
mo1e:
Hello all i currently have a dreamcast cab and Ive noticed that the Mame emulator on the dreamcast requires you to flick right on the analogue stick to insert a credit.
im not sure that you can buy coin doors that work with consoles but Ive been toying with the idea of rigging a switch to a home made coin door, and wiring the switch to the pad for the right analogue stick.
Would this idea work.
PS i am aware that any coins will probably trigger the switch but im not really that concerned. it will just be a way for me to save some money.
the front isn't what it will actually look like. just a rough

Yes, on the official pad you can hack the analog stick, even though it is a hall effect sensor.
Drnick:
Yep that would work. Funny thing is I was just over at Hyperspin where someone created an any coin acceptor for his coin door. What are the odds :dunno I'm sure you could fine tune the opening so that only a couple of coins will fit.

Thanks. its a real shame theres no coin doors for consoles. they all seem to need a voltage input. and theres no way im messing around with that stuff.
DLinkOZ:
A coin door is just using a switch that triggers the signal (like common ground), like any of your buttons or joysticks. Only time you'd need voltage is if you want to light it up.
