Now the plugin downloads the history.xml file, but it crashes LaunchBox. I think it's because of the "a" in the version number (0.287a). (Inner Exception) The input string '2.87a' was not in a correct format.

It still doesn't work.

Only one xinput controller (XBOX360) connected before stating a MAME game. SetKeyDelay, 125, 50 on the top of the script. - "Coin 1 - 5 or Joy 1 Back": I can insert credits (unlimited) (keyboard/joystick) and play (keyboard/joystick). - "Coin 1 - 5": I can insert credits (unlimited) (keyboard only) and play (keyboard/joystick). The most important for me is that the script is working for Arcade Joystick. You helped me alot. Thank you very much.

"Doesn't work" means the button doesn't add credits.

Test Result: dinput Arcade Joystick (Select Button, 1Joy9) dinput RetroFlag Controller (Select Button, 1Joy7) MAME (stand-alone): Works!* * Standard settings. MAME (RA): Works!* * Had to change in MAME "Coin 1 - 5 or Joy 1 SELECT" to "Coin 1 - 5". xinput Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller (Back Button, 1Joy7) xinput RetroFlag Controller (Back Button, 1Joy7) MAME (stand-alone): Doesn't Work* * Even changing in MAME "Coin 1 - 5 or Joy 1 Back" to "Coin 1 - 5". MAME (RA): Doesn't Work* * Even changing in MAME "Coin 1 - 5 or Joy 1 SELECT" to "Coin 1 - 5". Something related to dinput and xinput?

Could you test the script with Launchbox + MAME core (RetroArch)? Keyboard scripts work with MAME core.

Unfortunately, it still doesn't work. Have you tested with any joystick?

For keybord it works perfectly. The mystery is with joystick.

The script for keybord works.

1Joy8:: { if (coin1 = 5) ; Max 5 coins Return coin1++ 1Joy8::5 Sleep 750 }

There is no error, but the script does not limit to 5 coins... 😩

Error at line 10. Line Text: 1Joy8 Error: This line does not contain a recognized action. The program will exit.

On PC the joystick Select button is recognized as 8.

Joy 1 SELECT on MAME screen. JOYCODE_1_SELECT in MAME file. In the code, I tried to replace the number 5 to JOYCODE_1_SELECT but it didn't work. It seems that the code only accepts numbers.

JoeViking245, how configure the joystick's "select" button for coin?
