Has anyone worked out how to make a dollar bill validator work into mame, I have an Ipac, and a decent knowledge of electronics, but dont happen to have a validator.

I thought bill validators sent pulses (equivalent of hitting the coin insert key 4 times) so they shouldn't be that hard to set up.  But I could always be wrong.

I've got a bill validatator, It comes with a controls box that sends out a configurable amount of pulses per dollar inserted. These pulses can be wired right up to your ipac or keyboard. It's for sale if you're interested.

I might be interested in your validator. What brand and model number is it?

Its pretty cool finding out that they work that easy.
