I realize that powermame is in it's infancy and even still it is very nice and I look forward to what it will eventually evolve into.

What speed is the computer your running?  I've only seen problems as you describe when running through a hub on one of my systems.  I reported to RandyT.  It is only happens once it a while.

Are you using the default coin event that comes with PowerMAME?  If so, it is a very fast lighting sequence.  Your computer may not be fast enough to handle the short time fires that happen with this sequence.  You might try changing the sequence.

Keep in mind too that it is difficult (impossible) for me to test PowerMAME on all the configurations out there.  It is likely their will be bugs simply because people aren't running the same configuration that I am and on my system, I don't see the problem.

Circo:
The Good News is that I got it working, but I had to switch computers.    Luckily the computer that it works on is my Arcade Cab Computer.   Although I could never get it working on my main system.

Specs

AMD Athlon X2 4200+
1 GB DDR
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Motherboard

I tried swapping USB cables and even inserting a secondary USB2.0 PCI Card.  Never had any luck  :(

The system that it is working on:

Intel 3.0GHz P4 HT
512MB DDR
ASUS Motherboard

I am not sure if it is just a glitch with the LED-WIZ or not but at least it works on the computer that I need it to work on.

Thanks for all of your help.

MikeQ:
The fact that the problem also presents itself when using a HUB makes me think that it is a hardware timing issue.   It could also be a power issue if the hub is running a lot of devices.  This is the first case I've seen this happen without a hub though.

I have an AMD Althlon64 X2 4800 at work.  I'll give it a try sometime this week to see what happens.

The computer I have that I see the problem with is an older Dell 2.6ghz.  However, I only see the problem when I'm using a hub.

Circo:
I even tried disconnecting all of the other usb devices, but it did not affect it.

MikeQ:
I ran home at lunch and grabbed my LEDWiz and breadboard.  I tried PowerMAME on my work Athlon64 X2 4800 and see exactly the problem you describe.

This at least gives me something to work with.  I'll probably take the machine home on a weekend and see if I can find a workaround for the problem.
