CoinFX 0.3.51b released

[Palmore]

CoinFX is a small application that runs in the background of your arcade system and plays coin sound effects when you press your coin buttons.

It's configurable, and maintains a log of each players coin counts. You can choose between 3 coin sounds, or load your own personal effects.

Several other options are available in the options menu, CoinFX can also be launched via Command Line to function as a MAME wrapper.

i.e.

CoinFX.exe SF2

A few items have been added in this version, including the ability to stack 2 sound effects in a row, play an mp3 in the background (arcade ambiance), store coin counters in the registry so multiple copies of CoinFX can run from different folders yet still keep track of coin counts.

A bug in 64bit versions of Windows as well as Vista and Windows 7 has been corrected.

See the changelog for a full list of changes.

I've fixed a reported bu in 0.3.51b that would use 50% or more CPU while running CoinFX as a wrapper for MAME or other emulator.

Please upgrade to 0.3.52b to correct this issue.

I made it around to whipping up CoinFX version 0.3.8b

CoinFX 0.3.8b has been released.

In this version...

I've enabled relay keys, allowing CoinFX to listen for a coin key press, then send a different key press to MAME after the coin sounds play. This works great when using Stack Sounds.

Changed default stack sound timer to 150ms
