BetaBrite marquee - alternatives?

Pages: (1/3) > >>

Texasmame:

Just doing more research/brainstorming and came upon the BetaBrite content here.  After a few seconds, I KNEW I wanted this to be my marquee.  Sadly, it seemed like there were some hangups on developing an easy and useful software interface for use in MAME cabs where the game name would automatically be displayed.

Any alternatives to using a BetaBrite - other brands or ideas?  Saw the Lite-Brite idea and Palm ones already but don't like those.  ;)



Texasmame:

Picked one up but no cable, software or PS with it, tho.  I saw a site to hack a cable together.  Anyone know off hand where to get or what kind of PS it has?  TIA.

Mr Ironpants:

Sorry my knowledge of acronyms is pretty bad.  PS?  Pin Set? Personal Software? Porcupine Shampoo?  Any way we hacked one of these at work for the lunch room.  Pretty straight forward.  My friend did most of the hardware stuff and I helped a couple of guys with the software.

The hardest part of putting the cable together was getting the jumper on (sorry don't remember which pins it was on) but other than that it was pretty straight forward.  If the PS is pin set let me know, I think my friend can probably remember that.

For Software we downloaded the software from BetaBrite and then got the BetaBrite API from the web.  The version we used was in VB but I think there is an interface that uses Perl too.

I am sure that doesn't help but please let me know if I can be of assistance.
