Title: Silent Hill Arcades Coin Button?
Post by: Titchgamer on July 18, 2016, 03:54:47 pm

So does anyone know what the coin button is in SH Arcade?
Or even better how to change it!?

I would like to play it in coin op mode as opposed to free play but I cant find the damn coin button assignment anywhere!!

I don't remeber what default values are (maybe 9 or 0 number key), but you will be able  to set Test and Service buttons (and others) with this : http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,149714.0.html (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,149714.0.html)

Thanks Argon, I am allready using Your cracking bit of software ;)
But Would just like a way to change the bloody coin button as well.

As a request do you think that it would be possible to add a coin key parameter to your next build?

Oh I'm sorry I misunderstood your question, I though you wanted to know how to set the game to coin-operated mode instead of Freeplay  :(

To add a credit, it's the "SERVICE" button/key (I just verified here at home)
So you can change it already ;)

Yeah, for sure.... ;D
Many emulators/rom work that way. I'm not a pro of old cabs, arcade history etc... but I read a long time ago there was some confusion between SERVICE switch on board (to enter the service menu of the game) and the SERVICE wire of the coin mech (= credit added). I don't know if that's true....

Yup it was the service button  ::)

Now changed to the same as the rest!

Thanks again Argon
