OK, I have a question here; this is a project I've been kicking around
on paper for a while...
How much interest would there be in a little PCB which could be fitted
into a cabinet, in between the coin/player-start switches and the game
board, that would automagically trigger the appropriate number of credits
on the coin switches and then trigger the player-start switch whenever it
detects the 1-Player or 2-Players button being pressed?
(What I have in mind is something as "universal" and as minimally
invasive to the original wiring harness as possible; ideally, all that it
would require is for you to tack the PCB's player-start and coin-switch
wires across the originals, without actually breaking or cutting the
harness; the only wiring taps that might be needed would be to pick off GND
and +5V from somewhere in the cabinet.)
