same way you connected your buttons. Underneath the Coin Door/Chute, there is also a Cherry Switch. Just wire the GND and (5 in ipac) to NO (normally open). Leave the NC alone, don't wire anything to it. Just those 2 ( GND, NO).

the WIKI have more info.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Also, if you have a switch with three prongs pointing downward, you'll wire it to the outer ones, leaving the middle prong alone.

Thank you! I've been trying to figure out an easy solution for something similar. Can't believe I didn't think of that!
