   @coolboymew always been tempted to buy the recovery disk from one of these arcade machines and mess around with one. You can usually find a bunch of developer stuff that they just leave on the disk. i've seen some cool cheats people found from reverse engineering the game image.

     @coolboymew going off memory coz the guy giving the talk didn't want to publish. kind of like a defcon skytalk. but he found a funny exploit on a Jurassic Park machine I think where the game has haptics that physically jolts the player based on feedback from the controller.
     
     he found you pair a phantom controller, send the same signal and freak out a player. he showed a clip of doing it to his friend :02_laugh2:
     
     the only other one I can remember was for some quiz games where he found you could yank all the answers to the questions and determine the order they will be asked and get a perfect score.
     
     he gamed it so he played the machine over and over to get the maximum amount of tickets. but then found out that even if you play a game perfectly you'll always end up spending more in quarters than you get back with prizes

     @dodex1000 oh yeah a lot of these ticket machines are scam
     
     I saw a stream of some dude playing random Japanese ones and it makes you believe it's about skills, but using save states you can outright see that some instances of it, it's impossible to bag the jackpot unless the game specifically wants you to. So it's not only skill based, but also luck based on if the game wants you to have it or not
