youki: BetaBrite are multi-coloured LED scrolling signs. To add support to AtomicFE should be easy. The user uses LCDGen to generate an .lcd file for every ROM. Eg. 1942.lcd and places them all in a folder Eg. C:\MAME\lcd You need to send the LCD file of the game your launching before you run MAME. In GameEx you use the ShellBeforeLaunch setting. It looks like this: --- Code: ---ShellBeforeLaunch=copy /b C:\MAME\lcd\[ROM].lcd com1: --- End code --- As you can see it simply replaces [ROM] with the name of the MAME ROM (Eg. 1942), then sends it to com1:. Simple as that! |

Thanks a lot HeadKaze. So Atomic should already support that. Try that : With atomic 0.18 : -Open AtomicManager -Open your config file you want use your BetaBrite. -Click on "Advanced options" check box -go on the "External Command" tab -check "Run command before launching game" -enter as command : --- Code: ---cmd.exe /C copy /b c:\mame\lxd\[ROMNAME].lcd com1 --- End code --- -check wait for program completion -uncheck Terminate the program when back to atomic -check hide launched program Save and try. It should work. cmd.exe is for WinXP and Win2000 , i'm not sure it is called like that under win98 . let me know. Youk |

Will do. Also, I have it set up so that when I exit a game, a standard message like, "M.A.M.E. - Please select a game", reads across the sign (mame.lcd) and I have one for each system so when emulators are changed, the new message pops up for that system. So, in other words, does your program have the capability to call these files before starting a game, exiting a game, and switching emulators? Like a pre app and post app command of sorts. BTW, thanks Headkaze for explaining that. |
