Hi, first of all, thank you to everyone who does this work. I’m incredibly frustrated; this is the second version of CoinOps I’ve downloaded, and I can’t get it to work. Which is the correct executable? Does it work with the PC keyboard? Because it won’t start, and once it does, I have to shut down my PC to do anything…
Please,. please, help.
