Free play Mode.

RayB:
How about setting the games themselves to free play? I know it's time consuming if you have thousands of games, but once it's done, it's done.

I wouldn't mind doing that, but even when I went into the service menu of some games (I tried Puzzle Fighter and another Capcom game) I couldn't find an option for freeplay.  I may check more thoroughly tonight before I decide whether or not to wire my side coin buttons for something else.

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.

An easy way to do this would be to create an autohotkey script and assign your P1 and P2 keys to press the Coin1 and Coin2 buttons just before it registers the P1 and P2 keypress. This is essentially how CoinDrop works except it counts the coins and only works if there are credits present.

Hit F2 for Service Mode. Then choose "7. Configuration" option. Then "1. System".

Then it's the very first option. Hit left onthe joystick and it will say "free play".

Thanks Ray.. I'll try it again when I get home.
So one way or the other, each game should support freeplay, right?  (either in the MAME menu, or in the games's service menu)
