M2 emulator leader lamp

[simon_m74]

Is there any way of outputting a signal that can be used for a leader lamp, on sega m2 emu, running Daytona

[BigPanik]

Yes done with m2pac or DaytonaUSB

To control the leader lamp you are in the need for three things:
- Howard's mamehooker (the software that gets the output states from the emulator and send them to a PC peripheral - see next)
- a peripheral to convert software lamp status outputs "to the real world" (PC parallel port or arduino if you want to go for free or super cheap respectively)
- an adeguate driver board to actually turn on and off the lamp as a function of the logic state detected.

I use Howard's mamehooker and a PAC drive to run the lamps
