Do I need a 2nd coin button?
robC:
I am starting a bartop build, and I am wondering if I actually need two coin buttons. On my upright, it seems that every game I have tried so far will let you add money through the coin1 button, and then still start a 2 player game with the 2up button. Are there any 2 player games that actually require the 2nd coin slot?
Thanks!

I am more then willing to be wrong on this, but if memory serves me right it really only seemed to matter to games like "The Simpsons" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". On games like that it mattered where you put the coin as to what players you could select.
Also I have noticed on some games that if I use the second coin slot it will add more then one credit. I am not sure what that is about though.
It has been a while since I really thought about this issue so again I could be wrong.
GAJoe:
Depending on the software you're using, you could remap one of your other buttons or an unlikely to be used combination to be the second player coin. Just a thought.
Kajoq:
Various beat-em-ups tend to have it tied to coinslots. How about using 24mm buttons for the start/coins to save some space?

This particularly for the Midway games like Robotron, Sinistar, Defender etc....... Because it has 3 COin Inputs.

You need to change some configs on MAME and the GAMES (F2) to get what you like...
