BETABRITE SCROLL SIGN IN ARCADE OS

I would try to send a signal to the betabrite through another program.  I believe it was netcat who first mentioned this on here.  If you search, you should be able where he linked to a home made page that you could see what he used to test it.

Hey Ken,
Are you sure of your COM settings for the sign?  On my Alpha sign it's 9600,n,8,1 but on my ProLite it's 300,n,8,1.  I think Netcat mentioned his sign was 4800,e,7,1

Do you know what model number your sign is?  Do you have any other software that you use the sign with?  Do they have settings for the COM port there?

Have you tried sending one of the LCD files to the sign in DOS?  I think the command is COPY file.LCD > COM1
This might confirm that you have the settings in Mamewah wrong.

Hey guys,
Just wanted to thank everyone for all their help getting my signs set up.  Here's a few pics of what I've been doing with them.

Wow!  That is freaking awesome!  Great job man!  Aces!

Here's a page with all the graphics I've done for the bottom sign..  The top sign uses the lcd files and shows the name of the game.
