It sounds like KE72 is only sending the press
codes. Programs like notepad will display a
'5' on every keypress regardless of the lack
of release codes being sent. However, MAME
will ignor press codes that don't have a
matching release code.
That's why the good coin button has to be pressed
twice the first time. I don't know why the KE72
is not sending the release codes on the coin
switches, but I'm pretty sure that is the problem.
