I was too slow on the edit. (finished it just before you clicked on reply)  That's why you didn't see it.   ;D

The KADE firmwares turn compatible AVR microcontrollers into encoders.

IMHO they are a great combination of low cost and versatility.

Depends on what you want:
* One color always-on -- easy to wire, no controller needed
* Changing/animated colors -- much more complicated to wire, requires a controller

That limit is why the MAME devs originally chose Ctrl, Alt, Shift, etc. -- "modifier" buttons don't count against the limit.   ;D

Did you try disabling numlock in your BIOS?

I want to personally thank you for all you have done for MA, the tutorials themes, and such.

I use your intro movie for all my mames when they start up.  I even use the Ace Mega Codecs because i saw you recommended it.
 :cheers:

Ive got a MA question that you might know about, ive searched the forums and didnt find anything about this.

basically when i  select mame in MA and go to scroll through the list a letter at a time it only goes through letters A through G.  i dont know why when it was going A through Z earlier  :dunno  I have even forced rescan of all games on start up and have no luck.

any ideas?

Delicious:
PL1 thanks for the tips.  :notworthy:

im sure this is probably a stupid question but are these avrs superior to my hacked keyboards?


the main reason i like hacking keyboards is that i can choose any key to assign to any button.

the price is certainly right on them

or do you think i would be better off buying an encoder such as the Ipac?


on the light up buttons i wanted them to do patterns and such instead of being static.  I was curious about led blink software but  i didnt see anything about buying additional hardware


anyways thank you so much for your you advice,  i changed out the ctrl and the alt buttons and everything works great :cheers:

Yes.

Comparing a hacked keybboard to a modern encoder is like comparing a Model-T to a modern car.

Both have internal combustion motors, 4 wheels, and are used to get from point A to point B, but . . .

As the personal text under RandyT's avatar says, "Friends don't let friends hack keyboards."   ;D

You know you can do this with any dedicated keyboard encoder (IPac, KeyWiz, KADE), right?   ::)

Something has to translate the software commands that switch the LEDs on and off.
