***** Frequently Asked Questions *****

Q: What are the minimum system requirements?
A: Not much! Windows Vista or newer, Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86), DirectX 9.

Q: It’s not working! Where can I get help?
A: The basic software that needs to be installed is in the folder ‘- Fixes when not working!!!’. Install ‘vc_redist.x86.exe’ if CoinOPS will not open and ‘/DirectX 9/DXSETUP.exe’ if the games will not open .

Q: Which controllers are supported?
A: Basically any controller can be used, but by default this is pre-configured for XBOX 360/XBOX 1 controllers and standard MAME controls for 2 players.

Q: Why can't I change my default controls and have them saved?
A: You will need to run ‘- Advanced Configs- DEFAULT CONTROLS Unlocked.bat’ to do this. This is locked to stop MAME from removing mapping when no gamepads are plugged in.

Q: How can I restore default controller mapping?
A: Run ‘Restore Xbox Controllers.bat’. This will restore the controllers for Player 1 and Player 2 (Restore Defaults.bat also will do this and more).
