I'm thinking about releasing a "debug" version of CoinDrop that will output dialog boxes of what is going on to help me figure out what is happening. Also, please tell me the the version of Mame you are using and Operating System. There is also an issue if you are running a unicode version of Mame which means the actual language settings could effect things. On a final note, I did notice that Mame had a backup input system if DirectInput fails. This means CoinDrop will not work, as it intercepts DirectInput traffic only and injects keystrokes to DirectInput. I will release the debug version soon, stay tuned.

OS: XP Pro
DirectX: 9.0c
MAME: .101 (custom built winmame so that all dip switches default to cocktail)
Frontend: MaLa

Edit -- I just saw the post about the MaLa keyhook.  I'll rename that dll and try it again.  This app won't work over VNC, will it?

=========================

-= DESCRIPTION =-

This program will allow you to send coin drops to Mame from within your front-end. It runs in the background using a very small amount of CPU. When it detects a coin drop it will play a sound effect and store the amount of coins in memory. When you start Mame you can press the start keys and a credit is automatically registerd and starts the game. Dropping coins outside of Mame means you can carry over credits to multiple games.

-= FAQ =-

1. How do I set this thing up on my cab?

Just extract the folder to somewhere on your machine and create a link to CoinDrop.exe on bootup.

2. Where can I change the key settings?

Just open CoinDrop.ini in notepad and follow the instructions.

-= VERSION HISTORY =-

Version 1.1 (25-12-2005) : You now press the Start keys to drop coins and can now carry on credits to multiple games.
Version 1.0 (24-12-2005) : First Release

So is the problem only related to MaLa? Or should I still bother with a debug version?

I haven't had a chance to look into it -- my parents are in town this weekend.

No, I can't get it to work and I don't use MaLa.
