Yeah, yeah - fires, shorts, don't call me if you blow up your cab - the real information we want is WHEN CAN WE GET ONE!   ;D

I plan on getting a GP-wiz49 very soon - I'd like to order these together... are we looking at days? weeks?

That's all I want something like this for. Too many times do I need to tell guests which buttons to use.

That can be done with MaLa and the MaLa hardware. There is no need for a specific mame version.

It's also possibele to create led animations and use them as attract mode on your control panel.

It also costs about twice what the LED-Wiz will. 

BTW, if it isn't considered bad taste to post about your product in a competitors thread, it should be.

how would this be wired up?  1 output per LED or could you wire them in groups to save outputs?  I would think maybe several LEDs in parallel in different combinations.  Maybe 3 total outputs:
(1) 2 LEDs for horizontal 2-way mode
(2) 2 LEDs for for vertical 2-way more,
(3) 4 LEDs for diagonal 4-way. 
various combinations of those to make standard 4-way and 8-way..  wouldnt this work?   :-\

Actually, it you wire it right you will only have 8 LEDs indicating directions available.
You'd need one output for 2way horizontal, 1 for 2 way vertical, 1 for 4way, 1 for 4way diagonals, 1 for 8way.  Then you'd wire those outputs to the appropiate LEDS.  It'd be like if you used more than one button for a single input on a keyboard encoder.

See attached picture.  I did not indicate grounds as they all get daisy chaned together.  I alos am showing the LEDs in parallel assuming all negative side of LEDs are gorund.  But hte idea, and should be obvious from the pic, will work in series to.

All you need to do then is apply power to 2W-H, 2W-V, 4W, 4W-D, or 8W to light the appropiate LEDs.  It saves you 3 outputs instead of using 8 per LED.

Note, forgot to put the hump where the green wire goes over the blue wire.  They do not connect :)
