🎮 Welcome to the New Universe

CoinOps Deluxe Universe 2025 is not just a build — it’s a time machine stuffed with arcade perfection and home console glory, hand-crafted for your PC. Clocking in at 405 GB, this beast brings together everything from classic coin-op legends to handheld nostalgia, with all systems wrapped in that iconic slick CoinOps interface.

We’re talking:
✅ MAME arcade classics
✅ CPS1, CPS2, CPS3
✅ Neo Geo
✅ Sega Model 2 + 3
✅ SNES, NES, Mega Drive, PS1, Dreamcast, N64
✅ Game Boy, Advance, Pocket, and more
✅ Amiga, ZX Spectrum, C64, and vintage micro gear
All ready to plug, play, and drool over 🤤

💾 Storage Requirements

Let’s not sugar-coat it: this unit needs breathing room.

• You’ll need at least 512 GB free just to install
• 1 TB free if you want to extract and seed the full thing
  Trust us, it’s worth it. This is the collection your retro setup has been crying out for.

It runs from anything — internal drives, external SSDs, even chunky USB thumb drives. No high-spec PC needed, just some solid space and a love for the classics.

⚠️ Antivirus Warning: Chill!

Some AVs get twitchy with CoinOps files. They aren’t dangerous, but they can trigger false alarms. So if files vanish or the app won’t launch, your scanner probably binned something important.

Here’s what you do:

• Whitelist the CoinOps folder in your antivirus
• Here’s how on Windows Security

If something’s been deleted, re-extract it from your original .RARs once your AV knows to behave.

🛠️ Fix-It Folder Is Your Best Mate

Inside the "- Fixes when not working!!!" folder, you’ll find everything to get you running:

✅ Run DirectX 9DXSETUP.exe – vital for smooth visuals
✅ Run All In One RuntimesInstall ALL.bat – essential for video playback in the menus
✅ Run vc_redist.x86.exe and vc_redist.x64.exe – core Windows packages
✅ If it’s still not playing ball, use one of the Restore Defaults... .bat files in root
✅ Got dodgy extraction errors? Use WinRAR instead of random unpackers

This folder is your guardian angel if things go sideways.

🎮 Controller Setup – Xbox Ready Out the Box

CoinOps is plug-and-play with Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers. Standard MAME controls are in place for 2 players. Got a weird controller setup? Check the Discord or tweak controls.conf in the root.

🕹️ Default Buttons

• A = Launch Game
• Y = Random Game
• B / R1 = Letter Up
• X / L1 = Letter Down
• Back + Start = Exit CoinOps
• Back = System Selection / Insert Coin (in-game)
• Start = Toggle Favourite
• Right Stick Left/Right = Music Change
• Right Stick Up/Down = Volume
• Right Stick Click = Pause Music
• Both Stick Clicks = In-Game Options
• Share Button = Toggle Hi-Scores

This is controller nirvana. 🎮💫

🖥️ Multi-Screen Arcade Issues?

If MAME is displaying on the wrong monitor, here’s a quick fix:

1. Run SWAP MAME SCREEN 1st 2nd.bat inside "- Advanced Configs"
2. Still no joy? Edit mame.ini inside emulatorsmame, find this line:
   screen \.DISPLAY1
   Increase the number until it shows on the right screen for your setup.

💾 Saving Games in MAME

You can save progress in arcade games!

• Save: Shift + F7, then pick a slot
• Load: F7, then same slot key
  No more starting from scratch!

💡 Common Fixes Recap

1. CoinOPS not launching? Run the runtime installers and DirectX setup
2. Missing visuals or menus? Runtimes again – especially video playback
3. Files deleted by AV? Whitelist and re-extract
4. Weird UI bugs? Use Restore Defaults
5. Controllers acting up? Check Discord and controls.conf
6. Wonky MAME screen? Tweak mame.ini
