Road Hog Mad

Update on mine...

I lack in everything, still giving it a go. You never know, I may blow up!

Sorry to be a pain!! Where did you put the links where you got the coin mech, hoppers and pac drive from (if I need 2 hoppers and a coin mech) ? And I presume I only need 1 pac drive as mine is touch screen and all's that will be running is a coin mech and 2 hoppers. I've already got an SR5 coin mech and a £1 coin hopper that came with the cabinet, will that work with a pac drive? Someone mentioned on here, and I can't for the life me remember who it was and where I could get aftermarket hoppers and coin mechs as they would work better.

I was wondering after speaking to my mate who is making some front end software for me... If he could create a manager menu in which you could refill the hoppers, empty them, see the coins in, coins out etc. I'm not sure if this has been done already so if someone knows, let me know and how it was achievable, obviously he was asking what hardware was used, i.e. pac drives (which are next on my order list) and he asked what type of signal was received etc. to be able to convert it to data. He knows what he's talking about lol.

Think i've copied an idea here...

That looks brilliant, mine looks rubbish lol

and i've just ordered some clear plastic, exact same size as what I have took out as it would be very time consuming peeling off what is already on the existing ones. Now I need some graphics making and printing lol.

I'm going to stick with touch screen, less for me to mess up! My next job will be to wire the coin mech and hoppers up, I have been advised to source another coin mech and hoppers. The coin mech I have is an SR5 like yours (on the new £1), is it difficult to wire this up to a pack drive or shall I obtain another coin mech as advised? So.. I have 3 things to wire up, a coin mech and 2 hoppers, what is the exact kit I need for this? Fanks!

Cool, i'm after something to replace mine with, the oval shape I want to say MFME and i'm open to suggestions for the rectangle one. Also here's some photo's of mine... its an old games ware house cabinet so a front opener. In addition to this the hard disk contents have been uploaded here, if anyone wants them... https://www.fruit-emu.com/forums/topic/56939-games-warehouse-hard-disk-contents/

My next stage today will be to look for I pac drives and payouts, I've got a coin mech in my watch list. Is what you used in first section of this thread? ipac1 ipac2?

Thanks for the reply! I've bought an i5 qaud core for £50 (aparantly a bargain) for the main computer, one step at a time... Next will be the coin mech (probably off Ron from the Mecca, an idea of what coin mech to use would be appreciated 'me126'?), a 10p hopper and a quid hopper (probably ebay or a member may have a good source) and whatever I need to make that work. I intend on making things work prior to fitting them.

Looks brilliant! Questions... If you had bfm's cops and robbers loaded on to it and an external blue light would that flash like the real thing? Token payout I presume uses 20p hopper? Physco Cash Beast, would you have enough buttons? I counted 9 at the bottom and 6 at the top. Any other machines use more buttons than you have? If you had your own software on it could you use the existing buttons to navigate around a menu without conflicting with the machines loaded? Can you still insert coins prior to a machine being loaded or does the coin mech lock out until it is loaded? Could the refill key be functional? Fanks.
