Yeah, that was something I was going to mention.  You can wire the coin 1/coin 2 to the same switch and it will insert two coins.  I'm not sure, but I think there were some games, though, that would start a two-player game if you put coins in both slots and only hit Player 1 Start.

Do you have a coindoor or just a mech?

Zobeid:
I have two coin mechs and I have them wired up as two distinct buttons.  However, the only game I've played where this is helpful at all is Gauntlet.

Some games don't recognize the coin 2 input.  Other games treat it, by default, as a multiplier and give you 2 or 4 credits when you trip it.  To reduce the confusion I globally configured MAME to recognize both mechs as coin 1.  Then I went into Gauntlet and configured it to recognize coin 2.

IF you only have one coin slot, you could easily go into a game like Gauntlet and configure it to accept a button on the CP as coin 2, or coin 3, etc.  So it's still possible to play them.  You don't really need a special, dedicated button for that.  (Although I suppose you might want one if you expect to play those games a lot.)
