Get Coin-Op City

Coin-Op City is an app for your Windows PC. It runs your machines right there, and OBS shows them through a link, like any other browser source. Your chat connects straight from your PC, and your viewers' coins, careers and your settings stay on it.

What your PC needs

• Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. (Not Mac or Linux yet.)
• About 170 MB for the app, then about 600 MB more on its first start: the house songs, the city backdrops and the alert voice. The machines run while those download.
• OBS Studio, Streamlabs or anything else that takes a browser source.
• Any recent gaming PC. There's a lighter quality setting for older ones.

From download to your first coin

What Windows shows when you install it

Coin-Op City isn't code-signed yet, so Windows doesn't recognise it the first time. Only download it from coinopcity.com. Then:

• Your browser may say the file isn't commonly downloaded: choose Keep.
• "Windows protected your PC" (SmartScreen): click More info, then Run anyway.
• Smart App Control, which is on in some new Windows 11 PCs, blocks apps that aren't signed, with no way past. If yours does, the app can't install until it's signed: email us and we'll let you know when it is.
• Some antivirus programs wrongly flag new apps that aren't signed. If yours does, email us before you allow it.

Once it's running

• Closing the window keeps your machines running, so OBS keeps showing them. The icon by the clock opens it again, or quits.
• Updates download by themselves, and never restart the app on their own: it says when one is ready, so you restart when you're not live.
• Your channel is backed up every night, and the last 14 days are kept.
• Uninstalling keeps your viewers, coins and settings, unless you choose to delete them too.
