Random coin insertions

(1/3) > >>

DYNAGOD:
I have been having problems with random coin insertions with my Taito Egret Cab.this typically results in a coin insertion error that crashes my game..
when i played thru my PC this problem never existed.
however when i use the J-pac through my cab i get random coin insertions particularly on my japaense cave/treasure/raizing/8ing etc titls..
i thought it was simply a bad connection somewhere in the jamma harness or a short somewhere.
but last nite i set my cab up playing ghouls and ghosts and a few other titles of that time and i had no random inserts.
its odd..
any ideas?
it seems title specific

thanks

Minwah had a similar problem recently.  Could you be getting "light pollution"?  Or some other electro-magnetic interference?

DYNAGOD:
no its not that..
and its not a loose connection..ive shaken every inch of the harness and i cant induce it..
i was thinking perhaps im getting a symapthetic chagre building up somewhere,but he rate of saturation is too high cause the number of insertions over 5-10 minutes is enough to cause most games to crash..the game simply stops and the coin slot 1 error comes up..whats so odd is thats it appears game specific.


Gunstar Hero:
Freaking strange.

A work around is to just change the credit method for those specific games to a CP button.

I dunno man... between this and your other thread it seems like your cab doesn't like you...  :o

DrewKaree:
What always seems to work for me when I encounter problems like this is to do the following:

1 - Open your hand
2 - Move swiftly towards a side of the offending machine
3 - Strike hard.
4 - Repeat, several times, if necessary.
5 - If this doesn't seem to be working, replace hand with foot

While this may not solve your problem, I can guarantee it'll make you feel better  ;D
