LedBlinky and Mameoutputs Virtua Racing help!?

[theolditguy]

I hope I am not being a total newb with this but I think I am stuck, any help is appreciated!

I have a racing cab I am trying to build, specifically trying to light the VR1 VR2 VR3 VR4 lights for virtua racing, but I also tested outputs for outrunners and outrun.  Nothing lights my test LED via MAME.

I am using a 16 output pacdrive, logs say its being identified as PD1

I have one LED hooked up to port 1, in simple LED test it responds, turns it on/off, also responds in ledblinky generate input map exe.

I am calling this port via mameoutputs.ini using PD1,1,1,48  Example:
OUT3=JOYCODE_1_BUTTON6
OUT3=PD1,1,1,48

Mame output test is showing these outputs getting toggled but nothing ever happens, I do have OSD Options set to windows in MAME as FFB plugin works great.

Here is a screenshot of my ini file, input map and mame output test.  I know VR isnt in my ledblinky controls.ini but that shouldn't matter right?




Just grasping at straws now,TIA!

Ok! If anyone finds this and is in a similar boat I was nearly there but needed to change 3 things:

• My PacDrive was showing up in the debug logs as PD1 and PacDrive-1 so naturally in my mameoutputs.ini calls I was using either of those, NOPE! it was just PD.
• On the main page of ledblinkyconfig, make sure 'flash player start with credits + other mame outputs' is checked
• defining the outputs in mameoutputs.ini as the actual button maps does not seem to be required, I have them commented out now for simplicity.  Aslo it is not required to have outputs in ledblinky controls.ini unless you want accurate speak and blink things on startup.

Hope this helps someone else save some time.
