How do y'all deal with games that require a separate coin slot/button for P2?
quarterback:
My machine has a single coin mech hooked up (I do have 4) and a button mapped to "5" so you can either plop in the quarters or just hit the button. But a freind was over and cranked up Gauntlet the other day and I realized that in order for 2 people to play, I needed to hit the "6" button on my keyboard for 2 of us to play.
Likewise, I was playing Rampage last night and realized that just hitting the player-2 button didn't work even though I had 10 credits.
So, do people have separate credit buttons hooked up for each player for games like these that require a distinct 'quarter input' for individual players? I have no issue hooking up a 2nd coin mech for the 2nd player, but it seems like there could be some confusion in other games that don't require such things.
Is there some easy way around this or are multiple 'credit' buttons/coin slots the way people do it?
Thanks

i just used multi credit buttons because well, i knew one or two random games would end up causing issues when people came over.. you "could" i suppose, set up the coin mech to both player 1 and 2.. but then yeah, i dunno.. ignore me..

Another option is to map the start button to insert a coin in the appropriate slot as well...

I do, I think most others do.

Nope, most single player or alternating games had two slots in case one broke. MAME correctly emulates this, so no confusion.
