Front End Support > MaLa Frontend
Mala now has LEDWiz support! (No mod chip required)
swindus:
Here you go.
Take this little command line tool to send a config file for one game to the LEDwiz. The format of the config file is the same like the game config format of the MaLa plugin. Have a look in the plugin docs. You can find an example in the zip file too.
The application takes 3 parameter on the command line:
LEDWizLighter.exe 1942 2 0
1942: config file name, results in: 1942.cfg
2: Global Pulse Speed (1-7, default 2 if empty)
0: Fast Com Switch (0 or 1, default 0 if empty)
To switch all LEDs off use AllLedsOff as first parameter:
LEDWizLighter.exe AllLedsOff
Place the exe in one folder with all config files or the config files cannot be loaded by this app. And of course you need to register the needed ocx ....
Works like the plugin with up to 16 devices and has full RGB LED support.
Have fun!

PS: Everybody can use it for free! :D

Wow. That was quick Swindus! :notworthy: I love how things evolve.
This approach broadens the potential usage of these LEDWiz CFG files:
- With our Mala LEDwizard, you can create game specific LEDWiz CFG files (ie, 1942.cfg).
- You can then use Swindus' LEDWizLighter to light up your buttons when you launch your game (via a batch file).
Very interesting...

WOW Cool.... so other FE's could use this even DOS like ones that were running under WIN98 DOS mode I guess (to have the OCX running)?
versatility plus!

Swindus, I have to say that is a really nice of you to do that :)
:cheers:
I don't have a LEDWiz to test this, but do people have to generate a config file for each ROM? Like I mean do I need to write some special program to generate the configs? If there needs to be one, I don't mind writing one for the community, but I would need to know the format.
Thanks again!

Yes, like the LCDGen application.

Have a look at the MaLa LEDWiz plugin docs. You can find an example of a config file in the zip file too. Its a simple text file, something like that:
P1_START,1,SINGLE,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,48
P1_BUTTON1,1,SINGLE,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,48
P1_BUTTON2,1,SINGLE,0,0,0,0,0,0,5,48
P1_BUTTON3,1,SINGLE,0,0,0,0,0,0,7,48
P2_START,1,SINGLE,0,0,0,0,0,0,9,48
P2_BUTTON1,1,SINGLE,0,0,0,0,0,0,11,48
P2_BUTTON2,1,SINGLE,0,0,0,0,0,0,13,48
P2_BUTTON3,1,SINGLE,0,0,0,0,0,0,14,48
