Your the best elcondor. I am not going to use it for commercial gain, I just want the realism. And to hear the ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping.
Here's what I'm thinking...You know how some people make a arcade cabinet, use a computer and a monitor running mame, and turn it in to a kick ass multiple gaming arcade? That's what I want to do, only with just one fruit machine.
I know that it would be easy to set up a coin mech with the mage emulator, its basically the same as mame. Just wire the insert coin button on the keyboard to the coin mech. The only thing that I don't understand is how I would go about hooking up the coin hopper to make payout. Is there something in the MAGE emulator that I could use to send a signal to the coin hopper to distribute x amount of coins?
The only reason that I would like to use MAGE, is that to me, it looks more like the real thing. I like the other emulators, but running MAGE looks just like running a real fruit machine that plays on a monitor.
