Free play Mode.
sWampy:
I know a lot of people got all bent out of shape over the CoinDrop program, but I think it would rock to have a version of it that always gave you max credits when starting a game. I don't really want a credits button on my console, don't want to have to explain hold down player 1 and hit the red button to insert credits to everyone (especially my 3 year) and don't want my friends having to insert tokens to play a game. I'd like free play all the time, all the games that support free play I have set to free play, but a ton don't have that option.
It looks like the author of coindrop could release a version that always put 5+ credits into a game when it started a game and would completely do away with all the complaints about it being used to make money.

AtomicFE did that , when the credit management from the FE was activated. You could choose freeplay or not.
But for the same reason than the coinDrop program , i decided to not make this feature available at all.
But i should come back soon with this feature , but in another shape that could satisfied the ones who are against this feature.
Because if i well understood , MAMETeam is not against credit management from a Front End, they are simply against the exploitation of MAME . So if the exploitation becomes impossible with my new version , it should be ok. I think.

Forget a sec about profit - I would just like a management system built into a front end that allows you to track how many credits were utilized for each game. That's all. Just for fun...

Time in a game is good enough for me to track. I wish there was a built in way for mame to auto exit after xx minutes of no key presses, so the times would be closer to accurate, when someone leaves a game up and it stays active for sometimes days. I'm aware that has been added to some builds of mame, but isn't standard. I just want super easy to pick/start a game without having to give instructions on how to start a game. I guess I could just write a service that hits 5 every so many seconds if it detects mame is running and see how well that works.

I was about to post something similar regarding freeplay. I just recently hooked up my coin door and didn't want coin buttons on my cab anymore either, but I noticed this morning that a lot of games don't have freeplay mode on them.
I heard some people have rigged their coin return buttons as coin up's though... don't know if that's an acceptable solution for ya.
