NY_in_TX:
Randy T you'r e the man!

I know you said it was pre=lim info, but some stuff will be important when the time comes.

Will this a turn key item?  meaning all the LEDs and everything are already hooked up.  Or will this be a controller or our existing LEDs.

The new translucent buttons coming from shawnzilla in June might have LEDs with resistors included so this is  important info for people ordering to know if they are going to go with your product.

and I was going through Budda, Glitter and Gamecabs posts..and I thought I knew what was going on, but now I am not sure.  I thought the gamecab board will just light up player 1 & 2 buttons when there is a credit, but I think it does more.

Can somebody sum up what is availble now and the different functions.  probably in a different thread of course.

Keep us posted Randy, and THANKS!!

ny

btw MonkeyB I watched it about 5 times myself  ;D

This brings up the question on what are the possible uses for this community then if that condition can not become true?

Good comments by Markrvp.

SirP -

Read RandyT's comments again.  It won't be tied to a specific build of MAME.  He's not saying it won't be able to be used with MAME.  I think RandyT has a pretty good handle on what the community is looking for, if previous offerings are any indication.

I can't say much more, and may have said more than I should already, but . . .  wait for the product release before you say we don't need it.

That still doesn't answer my question of what one can use this for if you can't use it with mame.

So i could create a program to make the lights run when i want it to?

Id like this as i've got a pc in the car and want to make a HUD (heads up display) and have the PC hooked to it and if i can make these lights turn off and on from VB or something would be all i need :D

Please say it's so ;)

What RandyT said was:

Anything that would tie functionality to a specific build of MAME will not be implemented unless it can be implemented alongside the currently planned functionality of the device.

This was specifically in response to a question about gl.tter's LSE code being added to BuddaMAME.

So as I read it, the device will not be made so you can only use it with BuddaMAME and not regular MAME, unless the BuddaMAME support can be implemented along with the regular functionality.

Expanding this, if gl.tter's LSE code gets added into the official build, I'm not sure if Randy would support that either, as that would tie the device to MAME 0.97 (0.98) and up.

But we can learn from the GP-Wiz49 history.

Randy released the device with manual (buttons) mode switching.  Software switching and a rotary switch option was not planned but was implemented as long as the original switching mechanism could be maintained.

Meaning I think Randy will implement support for the LSE as long as it doesn't interfere with the currently planned control method.
