MaLa LED Support Questions

I do not have the MaLa LED hardware yet but was looking into the software that supports it and had a few issues that I was hoping someone could answer.

1. The attractmode program only allows me to add 16 LEDs even though I have the 32 LED board selected in the LED Config section. Is the attract mode limited to 16 LEDs or is this just a problem because I do not have the hardware hooked up?

2. Is there a problem assigning 2 or more LEDs to the same button? The software seems to allow this. I just wanted to make sure that both leds will actually be lit in the "selecting games" mode.

You can use EVERY led in attact mode. Trust me I use 'em.   I have 48 of em running (but it supports up to 64)

I assume you got the wrong impression by looking at the attract mode editor default setting? Sometimes the settings can be fiddly to change. Have a look at attached pic for set-up for 32 LEDS

Once you get your hardware I can guide you through set up if you want. I have done it many many time (beta testing)

No Issue, both will light up (with the latest version)

Enjoy

Maybe it's a bug in the attractmode software because I do have the 32 LED board selected like you show in the pic. I can select 16-32 on the list, and assign buttons to them but it will only show LEDs 1-16 on the screen.  Come to think of it however, I made that change after I did an initial save with the default settings. I will start with a clean slate and select the 32 board as step 1.

What does the checkbox next to each Led in the list do?

No luck. Tried on 2 different computers (XP Pro and XP Media Center) and can't get more than 16 to show up. Maybe because I don't have the hardware?

I just tried on 2 PC's and it did work ok :-)
Did you set up your defaults correctly?
Did you check the 'Use for new files box'?
