Light up buttons that are used in current game
« on: February 04, 2011, 03:27:54 pm »
I've seen a lot of great control panels that have lighted buttons on them. I was wondering if it's possible to configure mame and whatever other software is needed so that only the buttons that are to be used light up. For example, I want to have the 7 button layout (2 rows of 3 and one in the bottom left corner for Neo Geo). If I'm playing a Neo Geo game, I would want the bottom row and the 7th button to light up. Is this possible?

GameX also has a plug in for this.  I'm planing on using this, but I need warm weather before I start making sawdust.
