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

Keep us posted and please do a write up!

I have a big 'ole mounted gun that I was trying to trigger a feedback motor on a while back.
Every time I thought I had a simple solution figured out, it threw me a new curve.
One of many unfinished experiments.   :-\

Thanks, but I'm trying to avoid scripts, extra configuration, etc.

The feedback motor is just a lopsided weight on a dc motor.
It just needs to spin whenever the trigger is held in.  It's currently
wired to a solid state relay with a 3v trigger point.  It works fine
if I use 5v from a gameport to trigger it, but when I use
the ground that registers a button press, the voltage drops to
2.5v and the relay doesn't activate.  I set it aside for a while because
I was afraid of damaging something.  There was a thread about
illuminating buttons when they are pressed a while back and I got
some new ideas from that, but just haven't taken the time to mess
with it.

Sorry for the confusion.  My reply was intended to answer Shilmover's question.

i ask the ledblinkey creator same question a month a go and this is what he told me

"LEDBlinky can flash on a button press (or joystick if it’s not analog) but only when the front-end is active. During game play the flash feature is disabled for performance reasons."
