Yep - I thought someone should set this up in the driver with the keyboard LED's. As is, you will probably be able to add support for this once Light Signal Engine gets added to PowerMAME, but I'm not developing that.

Starting when? MMMMMMMmmmmmmyeah, I don't believe you put in for time off with the proper paperwork. I do not see any aw1 and 3w5 request for time off forms on my desk. Get back to work. Now!!! ;)
Do what you need to do man. We'll be here when you get back. ;D
MikeQ:
Before I take off, I wanted to thank all you for your input. Tiger-Heli, thanks for the email. I've read through and need to put some though into the things you've mentioned. I've had my head down trying to get some features in and have been trying to follow the forums when I have time. I don't get to read through a lot of the threads thouroghly as it cuts into my development time. Please everyone stick with me. Once things settle down a bit I can step back and start looking at all the features you guys have documents and start thinking about how to approach them.
JoyMonkey, thanks for the WIKI. That really will help when I have a chance to start participating more on the discussions. I'm going to rely on you guys to help iron a the design for a lot of these features. The WIKI will be a great place to get it all documented.
I'm going to really need to enlist some development help at some point. Because of PowerMAME's visibility, I'm getting approached to take on some paying software jobs and if I do, they may cut into my time. We'll have to see how I can balance these things. Add on top of all that, an ill parent and my time is beginning to become very limited. So don't get discourage if things seem to slow down at times. I'm going to try like hell to keep this project going.
Later,
MikeQ
Also wanted to pass this along:
Take a look at the bottom menu item. If no GPWiz 49 axes are mapped then the menu item doesn't appear. As soon as one is mapped, PowerMAME figures out based on the inputs what the best setting should be and selects it. That is the (AUTO) enum. If you don't like what PowerMAME has chosen, you can select from the menu item a different mode.

Oooh, let me help with that:
I can remember a discussion or two about button lighting that had somebody talking about changing the button illumination whenever the button is pressed. At the time, it was just about making the button light up when pressed, but with todays lighting options, you'd probably be ready for going on, off, lighter, darker or a color change.

You know what I thought would be cool is if you could record lighting sequences right on your control panel. When you push a button or move a control, it lights up. You could also adjust the color when you have a button lit "selected". All the time your doing this, the sequence is being recorded. When you done, you hit some admin button and you end the recording. This becomes a sequence you can assign to something.
