Randy,

How easy is it for you to help a developer to add your "keyboard Led Emulation" into their software??  (numlock, capslock, etc)


 :cheers:

Don't Forget if you are using a I-Pac it has those outputs on the board allready.  I have LEDS mounted just under my P1 and P2 Buttons. I suppose I could have changed them and put the LEDs in the Button.

Optional pre-assembled LED harness with 3 panel mounting LEDs which emulate the keyboard Caps/Num/Scroll Lights. Many MAME games drive the LEDs either for coin insert indicators or during actual gameplay. Click for high-res picture.

I just need to add those command to the parser.  The routines are already there, I just need to tweak them for the OCX.  If you know someone who is working on something that requires that functionality, you should have them contact me in email to discuss it.

Don't Forget if you are using a I-Pac it has those outputs on the board allready.

Also don't forget that if you try to use bright LEDs on your IPAC without external circuitry in-between, you will eventually destroy those shared inputs/outputs.  Also, if you use those shared lines for pushbuttons, they will blink the LED every time you push the buttons connected to them.

This is why the LED-Wiz Keyoard LED emulation is preferable.
