How about this for pc? https://www.arcadepunks.com/coinops-collections-the-all-new-2022-fully-loaded-front-end-for-your-cabinet-or-pc-gaming-box/

No problem Gary @MPU_FIVE We'll be here for you when the time comes!

I recently purchased the above coin mech, pictured below. Thanks to Pete @WibbleWobbleit now works in mfme. Some of you may be familiar with @No1Stoney's diagram for the mars 126dfx. Well, using this as a base, if you do the following, the mei9524e mech will work just fine, and it's cheaper at the moment than the 126, aaaand is way easier to setup the coin routing for (no routing plug yay!) Assuming we use this diagram..... Pins start at the top as pin1 and the bottom as pin17, pin 5 is actually the empty space in the picture. So! Pin 8 (the unused square in the diagram) should be connected to your 5v or 12v feed from the pc (yellow wire for older pcs). Then, remove pin10 from the mech or ipac or both. Put all dip switches on the mech to the off position. It will then work exactly the same as the mars 126dfx! Here is the manual too, it explains how to route the coins! cashflow_952_series.pdf

It might be that at gaining the 4 rep points, admin then have to approve the account too. Sorry If I misinformed you earlier. Hang on in there mate. It will be worth the wait!

Is this version available to download yet @appstrader?

If they work in 6.1 they will work in v20. There are a few exceptions, but really not many, as some layouts were put on a banned list for v19 onwards.

That is an awesome gesture @madgerald1974. It’s stuff like this and people like you that make this community what it is.

Hi @MPU_FIVEI think postage is around £20 per unit and the dreaded paperwork is what kills it. Exporting from Germany to say Italy or even Ireland is waaay less hassle (got any friends or family there?)They just don't want to play lol. Try ebay.de and you'll see what i mean. Just keep an eye out for a bargain mate. If you are on Facebook (I'm not), then the marketplace may have the odd bit available too.

It's really hard to tell Gary. Recently prices have definitely risen. Mainly due to Brexit I think. I could get Azkoyen hoppers from Germany for about £10 each, £5ish delivery. Now they won't even entertain sending them to the uk. You don't really see that many suitable hoppers on ebay at the moment. This is one of the reasons I have been looking at alternatives, just so that everyone has a choice of hardware! Even the Chinese types aren't exactly cheap. Mechs are more common, and I believe that the Mars 126, Mei Cashflow cf9524 and a SR5i have all been used in builds so far. It would be great to build up the resources as people get stuff working, hence me asking @madgerald1974how he did his cube hoppers.

Need an adult to create it first! I'll colour it in with the unchewed ends of my colouring pencils. Can't use felt tips, I lost all the lids!

Using this information I got from Reg Pete @WibbleWobble knocked me up this cracking board to run this hopper......The pins on the hopper are the same as in the picture, ie pin 12 is bottom left of the green plug on the hopper and pin 1 is top right. Close up the board looks like this....... So pins 1,2,4 and 8 join up to the 24v -ve source. Pins 9 and 10 join to the 24v +ve source Pin 3 goes directly to the I-pac. Pin 12 goes to the pac drive via the relay (top right in pic) and then blue wire shown in pic The other black pin (top,centre of relay) joins up with the 24v -ve wires on the board The centre bottom black wire goes to your 12v -ve source The left bottom red wire goes to the 12 +ve source. I can't pretend I understand how it works lol, but if you wire it up like this it will work! If anyone can do a wiring diagram for this, please feel free to add! One final pic of the hopper itself.

Thanks mate. Wasted 2 weeks on this just for a connector. May try the one on E-screen or may just try to bodge it up, not sure yet. Thanks for your input though, sometimes you just need another pair of eyes for this sort of stuff!
