Depends on what O/S you are using but if its Windows then I can highly recommend Mala. Theres 2 ledwiz plugins available - I have only used "LEDWiz v2.0 by Edge and Loadman" and it works great. Very little setup needed.

Yeah i was undecided on what Frontend to use out of, Maximus Arcade, AtomicFE, Mamewah, and MaLa. But knowing that MaLa supports LED setups, i think ive got to go with that really

I was using MAMEWah but I had to also run a few "extra" bits and pieces to get the buttons flashing, so I switched to Mala. It was actually very easy to setup the emulators.

I *think* AtomicFE has ledwiz support too so hopefully someone else will post here with info.

Lots of mala support in the software forum here at byoac too !

I haven't got mine yet (LED Wiz), but the already bad-ass front-end Game EX has a plugin built in for LED Wiz....check it out.. 8)

http://www.tomspeirs.com/gameex/

It is probably the best front-end out there and it is constantly updated with new functions and improvements... :notworthy:

You won't reget it....

That is just one of several themes.  It also includes a theme editor.....

I found it easier to configure than MameWAH, IMHO..

Not sure what else you have looked at, but Mala can do just about everything you could want and probably much more.  I am not sure about the LED support functions for Gameex, but MALA has some amazing features.

I am using the ledblinky plugin with my ledwiz.  It is amazing because it shows the actual button configuration in the actual colors from the original game.  Then when you start a game it flashes the button and speaks the action.  You get that and every other feature all for free. 

I have some videos showing the buttons on the thread about my cab.
