I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the "LSE". I might be wrong, but I'm thinking he lost interest, considering his last visit to the board was over two months ago.
Hang in there, Mike. Even if you made everything the way you wanted it and released it into the wild, I'm sure a lot of folks will find plenty of value in it. Maybe someone else will be interested in picking it up where you leave off.

That's the annoying part. That's why I stopped working on my mame hacks.
--- Quote ---I've heard of Johny5, but only have a vauge idea of what it does. Doesn't it create a graphic of your control panel with labels for what controls get used?

Johnny5 does what I described earlier. It takes info from controls.dat and mame to accurately produce a picture of your control panel, all labelled with the labels the real machine used.
Tiger-Heli has some nice pics.

I was just saying what you are describing sounds like an LED version of johnny5. But you will also have the ability to do stuff like the qbert knocker.
Yeah, not sure what's going on with LSE, glitter hasn't been around.

Maybe I used the metaphor incorrectly, but when I think of "releasing something into the wild", it doesn't belong to you anymore. You never have to see / feed it again :)
--- Quote --- I got my C API up and running last night. I'm not using the clipboard interface anymore to run my cabinet. I need to clean things up a bit, do some testing and put it in source control. Once done, do you have use for the source or do you just want the DLL to distribute or both?

Whatever you want to offer will be great. That will mean at the end of all this, there will be a DLL and an OCX method for low-level communication. Can't ask for too much better than that.
Thanks again for your efforts,
