I've re-checked my wiring, and it's all good. Plus, like I said, if I'm in Notepad or KeyHook, dropping the coin triggers the "5" or "6" every time.
But, here's where it gets weirder:
If MAME is running, even hitting the "coin button" (which triggers a "5") is kind of flaky. I have to hit it twice just to register the first credit, and then after that, it'll register the credits. I tried this with the coin door, and the same thing happens: if I deposit two coins one right after the other, it will give me a credit; otherwise it acts like nothing happened.
I guess the real weird thing is that it only happens while MAME is running. If I'm in Windows or DOS all of the buttons and coin slots work without a hitch, but when I'm in MAME, there appears to be some kind of "lag" with those inputs. Does this make any sense to anyone? I hope so, because IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS!
