Mala LEDWiz Plugin v2.0

Overview:
The Mala LEDWiz Plugin was designed to be a simple but powerful tool to help light up your control panels.  We tried to make it as customizable as possible, and we are always open for more suggestions.

Features:

* Light up your controls in any RGB color by using the LEDWiz intensity levels
* Light up your controls as you scroll through game lists in Mala
* Light up your game specific controls when you launch a game in MAME
* Set default lighting schemes for other emulators as well - not just Mame
* Over-ride default lighting settings for specific games (ie, NeoGeo games)
* FLASH-N-SPEAK - Plugin will flash and speak each control (FIRE, JUMP, etc) upon game launch
* Flash all your buttons on Mala start, Mala exit, game start, gamelist change, etc.
* Random Attract Mode - Randomly runs one of the many ledwiz animations (LWA) included [THANKS HK!]
* Support for ADMIN buttons:   
* User can assign friendly names to admin buttons (ie, Menu, Pause, etc)   
* User can make admin buttons stay lit (no matter what game is selected)
* EZ-RGB Data Entry - To help speed up data entry when configuring your panel,  the config wizard will automatically populate the RGB values based on only one input.  For instance, if your RGB has its R wire in input 1, the plugin will automatically input G in input 2 and B in input 3.
* As you configurate your panel in the wizard, you can see your buttons lit up real time.  Make a change and instantly see it!
* Support for up to 16 LEDWiz controllers
* Support for both RGB and Single Color LEDs
* All screens sized for 640x480.
* Microsoft .NET not needed.
* And much more!

Special thanks to swindus, RandyT and headkaze for all their help.

We would love to hear your feedback and suggestions.
Edge and Loadman

WOW, looks great.  Can't wait to test it out.  Glad to see you took some of my idea's and I really like the Flash and speak

headkaze:
Great work guys! I was just about to suggest support for admin buttons and "always stay lit", but just realised you already got it ;)

Realtime feedback while you configure your buttons is really handy too. It's a good way to make sure your setting up the right button on your CP while configuring.

The only thing I would suggest would be to use a Trackbar instead of a Horizontal Scroll Bar for adjusting LED intensity.

Mala/LEDWiz users will love this new release :)

And for non RGB Leds you can also have it 'Always lit' Flashing or ramping

Thanks for your support as always HeadKaze AKA GameEX Guru.   ;)

[While I am posting (for users of this Plugin) remember this tip:

If you want the Leds on your LedWiz (and/or other MaLa Plug-in) to update 'on the fly' while your scroll down through your game list then ensure in gui-options-exceptions that the Gamestart event checkbox is ticked. (Note: This may slow down list scrolling on older PC's)

Do not mistake this for the 'LCD & LED' Checkbox as this is for MaLa Hardware not a un-modded LedWiz

Thanks, squirrelly & hk, for the feedback.

We are open to suggestions.. so fire away...

hk - I did try the trackbar originally, but I didn't like the way it incremented.  I forgot what bugged me about it most.. It feels so long ago. hehe.  I'll take another look in version 3.0. ;-)
