Hooking up High Score flashing light etc...

DreamWeb:

this is a really good idea.

TheGatesofBill:

It wouldn't be too hard to do if you modified the drivers to do something after a high score is achieved (turn on a keyboard light or something that you could connect your flashing light to), however, it would be irritating enough where I don't plan on volunteering for the task. If someone can think of a better way to do it, power to them. Also, as far as I know, the highscore.dat is written after you exit the game, but I haven't ever really looked at that part of the code, so I could be wrong.

Witchboard:

Well, if the code can be changed to incorporate a Q*Bert knocker, then I'm sure this can be done as well.  Just have to find the person with the right coding skills.

Trimoor:

The highscore.dat is never written to.  It is just a database of how each game registers the high scores, and writes it to /hi/game.hi

Modify MAME to do a certain action when hiscore.dat sees a high score.
