BETABRITE SCROLL LED SIGN IN ARCADE OS
HELP! PLEASE

Danny Rego submitted the modifications to ArcadeOS some time ago that allows interfacing with an LCD sign via Serial or parallel port.

I cannot find Danny Regos Email anywhere, so I am posting here in hopes
Someone can help me

I have a Betabrite LED sign (not LCD) It works thru the serial port from DOS

In order to make it work in DOS I must first issue a:

MODE COM1:4800,E,7

Command, so it will set proper parameters for serial communication with the sign


ALSO in order for messages to be displayed specific characters must be
Sent PRECEDING the text, and AFTER the text

i.e.
------------------------------CONTENTS OF TEST.TXT-----------------------------------

I dont uunderstand

It appears your sign is up and running in your cabinet !

you running your emulator in DOS or WINDOWS ??

it looks like its working in your photos ???

I am just using the program that comes with the sign.  I am interested in getting the controls.dat or whatever is used to display the controls to display before a game.  Is that what you are trying to do?
