I'd just like to throw in some sligtly unrelated commentary here. 

Why are you guys running mame cabs with nvidia anything on them?  Haven't you heard us old timers preaching about how nvidia cards/chipsets/whatever suck for mame since oh.... around 1997.  Use only ati products or just don't bother.  ;)

Hope this stuff gets sorted out soon.

Heh, maybe true of the graphics cards (I've never used anything but ATI ever since I tried a All-in-Wonder Pro. Ok so 3D on a RagePro was not exactly awesome but that card could do everything) but nforce motherboards are not bad...

I'm please to see progress is made. I've got a LedWiz, although I've not had a chance to hook it up yet. But I do have nforce 2, nforce 2 ultra 400, ati xpress200 and via based chipset motherboards I could set up and test if its needed - although sounds like lots of people are on the case....

FWIW I'm not using my nForce2 based machine in a Mame cab, I'm just trying to narrow down the LedWiz issue for other people out there.

I'll give it a try tonight.


On another note, does anyone know if there is an alternative USB driver that I could try using?
Again, here's the driver that my nForce2 board is using:


And is this the same driver that everybody elses troublesome nForce boards are using?

southpaw13:
Yes, that is the driver that is giving everyone the problems.  FWIW, I decided to use NVIDIA chipsets because my cabs double as a Daphne emulator also.  Daphne and ATI don't mix well together.  I have not run into any major problems with NVIDIA and Mame...
Maybe I should switch to Via chipsets with a NVIDIA video card?
