Is it possible to get an input in Mame to trigger an ouput in LED-Wiz?

So I see that there are various methods to have special versions of Mame or certain frontends light the controls that are used for a game and do fancy attract routines.  Has anyone succeeded in having Mame coin LED signals or key presses forwarded to an LED-Wiz light?  For example, could I have an LED light every time I press the Fire button?  Or when the keyboard LEDs are lit?

Thanks for any info!

Some people are always pushing the envelope....  ;)

That's a great question.  I'd suggest posting this in the software section to see if Headkaze, arzoo or another genius in there can do it.  May try one of these two:

Led Blinky - http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=73905.0

or

Mame Hooker - http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=69439.0

I'm interested to follow the answer too!



arzoo:

LEDBlinky has advanced features to handle mame outputs. It can also flash buttons when pressed - but only when the FE is active. I believe another member wrote an app that can light each button as it's pressed - I did a quick search but could not find it.

Havok:

Yeah - I saw a Youtube video I think where someone did that, but can't remember who did it...

Sounds like you could do this just with HARDWARE. Hook up the switch from the FIRE button (maybe using some sort of a OPTO-ISOLATOR, so it wo'nt put any juice to your encoder) to light a BULB (or anything) when push (at anytime even in FE). Hope you got I am trying to bla bla bla  ;D
