--- Quote from: jace055 on June 19, 2007, 09:43:27 am ---I have had a chance to test. The original: During mala game select the text is red and always scrolls left to right. While in game the text is red and scrolls from down to up. When using silver's lcd files, the "in game" screens are multiple colors with random swipes and fades. new plugin: During game select the color is red with random swipes and fades. Some of the built in transitions do have color that comes through like the fireworks and the rainbow fade. During the game, its red and still scrolls bottom to top. Silver's files are multiple color with random transition. hope this helps! --- End quote --- Thanks for the feedback. I will look at the settings for the 'MaLa Data' FYI I have no cotrol over color and transitions when you are using Silver's LCD files as that is built in to the file when you create them using his software. |

I know this is an old thread, just in case this has not be resolved yet and someone out there is interested, I have come across some code for the BetaBrite Prism (USB) display that could be intergrated into the Plug-in for MaLa. http://www.industrologic.com/prissoft.htm Take a look at the example PRISMMES.BAS to see how to talk to the display. The key is betabriteusb.dll, which is a talks to the BulkUSB driver. The DLL exposes a few simple methods such as USBBULK_Open, USBBULK_Close, USBBULK_Write, which is all that is needed to talk to the Prism. The protocol is the same as for the BetaBrite Classic (RS-232) displays. I have successfully written a small application that sends files from Silverfoxy's LCDGen to the display. The only problem with these files is that the message format used there cause a 3 second delay from when the data is sent to when the display shows it. According the PRISMMES.BAS example, this can be overcome by sending a somewhat more complicated message with an embedded string file. Perhaps Silverfoxy can update his software to incorporate that. |

Sorry for the thread necromancy... :oldman I just came across this plug-in and thought it was a cool idea, and would be a great addition to the cabinet. I've looked online and through the thread, and I wasn't able to find an answer to this: Is it possible to have an LED display show the current high-scores in games? Similar to how they work on a Pinball machine, however for all the games? Maybe just the most recent high-scores, something to that effect. |
