My serial LCD for displaying directions
<< < (29/39) > >>

Hmmm. anyone know any UK distributors for the backlight kit? Or ideally some info on a d-i-y job for backlighting LCD's?

I've dug out my LCD (originally planned for an MP3 display) after reading this thread and thrown some commands together in VB. just need to solder on a serial connection....

Also Minwah -  if you read this - I am keen to implement this feature in my setup, ideally without making up millions of batch files for each game/emu. I was thinking of writing an app in VB to run in the background and catch commands to load romd and then kick out the right file to the LCD, but realise that its far from ideal. Is MAmewah written in VB? Would you be interested in sticking an option in to allow sending a txt file to the com port on loading a game? (extremely easy if you're using mscomm.ocx in VB). Then anyone with an LCd can work out what control characters their LCD requires and stick it their txt files.

Oh - and I'm only picking on you as I love Mamewah so much! ;-)

It's actually only one batch file per emulator.

woops yes, obvious really - change the exe for the bat with %1 as the romname... Obvious really.

thanks for the pointer!

I only read half this thread, and I remember seeing something earlier today that looked pretty cool:



Anyone know where to find those kind of LCDs? and the price range on them? I'd love to have a) something with a backlight and b) something i could have fun with graphics on.

They are pretty pricey though ($100+).
