Coins left on the game upon MAME exit ?
« on: October 13, 2006, 06:56:23 pm »
Hi,
I made  my own simple front end and I'm going to use tokens to bribe my kids to do chores. My question is is there a file that is created or something similar to where I could get how many tokens are still unused when someone exits a game.  I know you're not suppose to do that because of people who might use the FE for commercial purposes but this is just for ease for home use so I think it's ok.
Anyway, please let me know if you know what I'm looking for.  :dunno
Thanks,
majs

Well, the thread is interesting. But I'm building this for myself. I'm going to get around it somehow. I was just wondering if anyone knows this already and is willing to share the info so I don't have to reinvent the wheel.
Thanks.
