LED's for player start buttons/coins worth it?
« on: February 04, 2003, 07:23:14 pm »
First of all, what do the 3 LED's (Caps Lock, Num Lock, Scroll Lock) in MAME correspond to?  (1 player start, 2 player start, coin?)

How many games use them?

Thanks

Atari was big on those, a bunch of there games use them. You'll have to decide if its worth it to you. I think they look cool when they light up but since most games don't support them it wasn't worth it to me. Maybe someone can post a list of the games that do support them, I don't know if catver can sort them based on LED's.
My statements are my own opinions. They have the value that the reader gives them. My opinion of my opinion varies between foolish and brilliant and these opinions often change with new information.

There are alot of games that use them, for different things.  most use them to indicate when credits have been put in for players. Other games use them to indicate, say a racing game, what gear you are in.

Click on home above.  Towards the bottom of the forum home page you will see stats.  Glowing buttons is in the top ten.
