2. Sir if i use the other coinslot the one that you show the cheap one from china how or where will i put the wiring for coin slot

4. Just to recap. I already have a arcade build finished with a coin and select button wired and working. Now I want to add the coin mech, but I want to still be able to use the coin button if I don't feel like using the quarters. So all I have to do is tap off the working coin button to run the coin mech correct? Then both will be working at the same time giving me the option to use both, right?

5. Have a question. The clicker that the coin hits before it falls out of the bottom of the coin mechanism doesn't add credits when the coin goes thru. Even when I take my finger and click the clicker it makes no noise for credits. What could be the issue?

6. how to wire the power on that cheap coin acceptor,help please

7. how to wire those china coin slot for coin acceptor

8. Can i use different coin values on retropie?

9. You should show if you put in anything other than a quarter. Does it reject it?

10. No point in having an arcade cab without a working coin door 👀👀👀

11. Great video! I have a question though. What exactly are the ‘quick connect’ pieces he is using? And how do you connect the using the wires that cane with the coin mechanism. It’s probably very simple, I have zero wiring experience. Maybe there is a video showing how to do it?

    Also, if someone can provide a link to the ‘quick connect’ product on Amazon, it would be much appreciated.

12. 7:11 How you get this menu please ? (where you can choose consol, the menu at 7:11)

13. Hello friend what is your recommendation RPi or PC?

14. What version is RetroPie Arcade used for?

15. This is awesome, I just wish Amazon Canada carried it 😪

16. been looking around everywhere but cant find an answer. what are you guys using to collect the coins and keep it safe until you come with a key to collect them?

17. Well couldn’t you just press tab while in a game to open up the MAME menu and then map that switch to coin one only for that game? Then any NES or SNES games don’t have to have a rewired select button

30. cool so i can also install a Sacoa RFID arcade reader to the Arcade1up machine in combination with Retropie.. i work for an redemption center, which have those devices laying around.. it would be cool to charge people a little bit of money (25cnt) just to play on the Arcade1up 🙂

49. Genuine question. What is the point of a coin mechanism for a home arcade machine? I just don't get why so many people add one. Who in the world liked paying money back in the day? And why would you want to replicate that? Its like getting actual speeding tickets playing your racing game…

50. Hey man, I'm trying to figure out how to sub out a button on my x-arcade stick to the coin acceptor (cheap one on Amazon). Where can I get the 'quick connects' for the thin wires that come with the coin acceptor so I can simply disconnect the micro switch from the button on the arcade stick and insert it into the coin connector without having to solder or cut any of the wires? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
