Auto Load State & Coin-in Lockout Scripts

Good Morning,

I am wondering if a script exists to auto load a state and a script that would mandate a coin be inserted/coin-in button pressed to enable a non-arcade game (epsxe, pcsx2, etc.) to be started/played.  Specifically, I am looking to add games like Outrun 2006 (PS2 port of Outrun 2) to my arcade collection and would like the experience with it to be as authentic as possible.  Unless I am thinking incorrectly, two AHK scripts would make this possible.  First script would be an "Auto Load State" script, in which upon selecting the game, the game would automatically load a state that brings the player directly to the start screen (bypassing all the intro logos and such).  Second script would be a "Coin-In" script that would disable all buttons on the controller until the player inserts a coin/presses coin-in button (also playing a coin-in sound).  I have seen scripts of this nature used on an arcade enthusiast's Youtube channel , but the user does not explain the scripts, just that he created them and shows a demo (jump to 6:30).  Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks!
