Buddabing's LED controller
JoyMonkey:
I'm not sure if this has been asked yet, but could AdvanceMame scripts be used to run the LED controller?

In fact, with a bit of hacking, up to eight of these 40-LED boards can be daisy-chained together and all run from the same parallel interface. I don't recommend this,

Kev, I completely believe you. I mean..... you could feasibly use this to create an LED field PacMan. Heh that'd rule.

Hey Kevin, if you buy seven boards, maybe GameCab will give you one free!
All you have to do to daisy chain the boards is to bend up one or two pins on one or two of the ICs, solder one or two jumper wires, and tap into the parallel port connection on the second and subsequent boards. Nothing irreversible. :)
