Summary 01819: "Coinlock disabled coin x" message displayed upon startup
Description "Coinlock disabled coin x" message is displayed upon startup, where x is 2,3 or 4 depending on the game/driver. Some drivers affected by that behaviour I noticed are cave.c, cps1.c, cps2.c, toaplan2.c and taito_f3.c but there're probably more.
Steps To Reproduce Just run any of the games affected to see the message

 As far as I am aware, this coin lock pop-up added recently only shows when the board itself signals it. This is why you cannot enter credits before a certain time of booting has elapsed. It would be interesting to see if the same can be done with regards of the coin slot being unlocked.

In any case, I don't think this is a bug - it's just we are noticing the behavior now that there is a pop-up showing us what was already happening.

More comments?

 It shouldn't be displaying as often as it is. It should only show up when a coin input is signalled and the lockout is enabled.

 and probably only in a debug build IMHO.

 I totally agree - debug build of signaling when lockout is enabled and disabled would be useful.

 The current behaviour is intentional. We had a number of bug reports about missing coin input recognition in test mode although test mode activated the coin lock. I consequently disagree to make this debug build specific.

I suspect the rewrite to be responsible for the popup at game start and will look into that later.

 Also, all those "coins not registering in service mode" sprang from largely one source who a while back used to make loads of posts on MAME Testers forum one bug at a time.. they were consolidated at that time to save time for everyone. That 'all-in-one' methodology did not work well on this set up here at MANTIS so I split them recently from 01079 into separate, per driver entries.

The pop-up addition was very useful is confirming almost all of the bugs reported were actually not bugs due to the lockout. I did the same splitting of some Duplicated Inputs and a bunch of Galaxian bugs that were combined at the time for ease of dealing with.

 Yes, having them separate helps a lot!
