Donkey Kong on MAME won't register quarters...

(1/2) > >>

Okay, so I put together a MAME cabinet this weekend, and I need a little help!

I wired in the coin slots to the 'coin 1' and 'coin 2' on my mini pac. 

When I load MS Pac Man, and I put quarters in, it recognizes the coin, and adds the credits.

But I can't seem to play Donkey Kong. 

My question is, does that particular game maybe have the coins wired to different keys?  If that's the case, how do I fix it so that Donkey Kong recognizes when I put in quarters?

Thanks!

do you have a player 1 button to push to start the game...?

(edit)
i just saw that it was ms. pac-man that was registering the credits...sorry...

Donkey Kong only has one coin chute.  So your 2nd coin chute probably won't do anything.  But I'd also check your mappings in MAME.  In game, press tab, and then select 'input this game' to see what it's mapped to.

i just tried dk on my computer...

key 5 registers a credit...key 6 does nothing...

so ahofle is right on...

Okay, so I think that I have the problem.  If I remember, the left coin chute won't work and register quarters... so no problem for Ms Pac Man since I have just been putting quarters in the RIGHT slot.  But DK can't see that...

So I can either switch the coin slot wires, OR re-map the DK coin to #2.

Right?
