What hasn't yet been done on a cab?
I have yet to see a first gen RGB enabled SNES in a cab.
just saying...
gildahl:
One of the things I really wanted to do when I built my cab was to somehow integrate programmable oleds into the buttons such as those supplied on oled keyboards.

I might look into this again one of these days as a DYI project, but if Ultimarc or GGG or some other vendor were to offer a feature like this in their buttons, I'd probably buy them in an instant.
michelevit:
thanks. i had no idea mame could simulate a sunken monitor like that. time to upgrade.
best of luck if you move forward with the build. be sure to share your progress.

I am into dynamic button labeling. I believe the most affordable and most high resolution route is to run single projected image into the buttons and/or to the back of the button labels, and map the labels into a single image. This requires custom button modding, and custom switch mounting. I looked into fiber optics transmission first, and realized the resolution would be very poor, even if the button would still actuate properly.
TopJimmyCooks:
Don't label the player buttons. those are usually covered with finger tips. put the labels near the buttons.
