Love that thing!

Thank you Reg for setting this up and thanks Wizard.

@saunders22 did you print the paper for the buttons yourself? Looks awesome.

I believe mfme is setup so that the software will simulate a coin insert and payout. Those settings can be tweaked, altered to your liking within the main program.
i guess get the layouts you like and start playing

It is being built into a kitchen? Looks like a kitchen cupboard at the moment with a handle
If you pull the handle, then out comes the beer, lol

I can get it to work, but all these boards ( apart from the PACdrive ) aren't quick enough to keep up with the flashing lamps in MFME so aren't suitable tbh
The main issue is that you can't write to all output ports at the same time, so there is always lag.
The PACdrive allows you to write to all 16 outputs in one message whereas the others only allow 8 outputs, so need 12 seperate messages to update all 96 outputs ( UltimateIO )
It's a shame they behave this way as they are very good hardware wise.
Thanks for the explanation. I'll go with the Pacdrive then.

As long as it is a Coin acceptor with mechanism that can send a 'signal' to the keyboard encoder, or iPac or what you are planning to use. A mechanical coin mechanism works woth a microswitch that can be connected to the iPac. A cpu coin mechanism needs power, but there are types available that can be connected easy enough.

@Amusements do you have dimensions and perhaps a picture of the front of your cab?

I am gonna use a 24V psu and use a 5v relay.

Azkoyen U2 parallel hopper is in my build. Works perfectly without additional wiring etc. And they can take any coins
Wired direct to the pacdrive and ipac without additional relays, circuitry or whatsoever?

I use a pair of Universal hoppers in my cabinet and those have a "logic level" signal to turn on the motors so will work with PacDrive without additional circuitry.
If you have to drive the motor directly, then you'll need to add a relay or PNP transistor to handle the current because the Pac Drive has a max drive of 500mA and these hoppers can take 3A when starting up.
The other necessity is that the Hopper provides a lo level output for the coin output to be compatible with an IPAC
Also don't get anything with a serial interface as they won't work with MFME, it has to have a parallel interface.
I have no experience with the cheapo ones on Ali tbh
@WizardThis might work then:

The 'Money Controls Compact Hopper' has a parallel interface. I'll guess to go with that one then. Tnx

@Wizard could you recommend me a hopper that works directly with the ipac/pacdrive? If that is possible at all.
Maybe one from Ali or something else that won’t break the bank?

I would need to check, I do have a Ultimate board somewhere.
I am also interested in this possibility, because I am in the process of designing my mfme cab. You man Wizard are a great asset to this community! Thanks.

Good idea. I imagine you could use an arm with springs etc to simply trigger a micro switch when it's fully pulled down and use that to drive an input on the Pac drive?
That's what I was thinking about. Something like the ones on the pics below.
There are 'pull arm kits' for sale, like this one from Suzohapp: https://eu.suzohapp.com/en/products/handle_mechanisms/12-300532
Or maybe a used slot machine part.

Anyone have any experience installing a working pull arm on a self made cab?

@jabbathehut tnx for the info! @Reg that one looks great! The shift-function definitely gives more options. In my mini vpin the KL25Z (Pinscape encoder) also has a shift-function. Is that an old cabinet that you customized?
I intend on building from scratch around my monitor, but it should also still have ‘enough’ toom to accomodate a sff pc, coin mech and hopper.I noticed the pacdrive.dll in the MFME main folder. Does anyone know is if besides the pacdrive mfme also works with the Ultimarc U-HID?

Hi, my name is Luuk,
from the Netherlands and recently joined this site, that has lots of useful information. I am thinking of building my own cab. Already have a 23" touchscreen, a Core i5 pc where I will put an ssd in. I have a question though I hope someone can answer. Plz don't kill me cause I am at noob-level here .
- Besids the touch-function I will be using physical buttons that I am gonna hook up to an iPac. The lighting will come from a PacDrive, so the ROM is able to control the lights. How many buttons would at most be necessary?
Thanks for everyones response.

Nice work! What coin hopper and how will it work with mfme?

I am so jealous. Love that machine. Great work.
