: I don't think that will register the credit with the game you select either. It would just simply select the game. If you could pass coin-ups to the command line, a hack would do it.

Best way to make somthing like this work would be either to be able to pass credits on the command line to mame or make the number of credits an environment variable. Then make Arcadeos keep track of coin presses and pass them accordingly. Both mame and the frontend need to be modified.
