Display current game/info to 16x2 LCD???
« on: February 23, 2007, 10:17:52 am »
Is it possible to create/download a program that would send the current game name, number of credits, etc to a 16x2 LCD panel attached to the parallel port on a computer?

something along these lines:

I think ArcadeOS can do that but I'm not sure.

Mamewah has had support for a while. (sorry no linkie)

Mala can do it now.

So can GameEX

Looks like AtomicFE can do it as well.  Need to look into this more to make sure.
