LEDBlinky - Arcade LED Control software and Animation Editor - v8.2
arzoo:
I've just released LEDBlinky v3.7 (see 1st post). This is a relatively small update with really only one new feature - the ability to speak and blink the front-end controls. This works like a "Help" feature for the FE. There are also a few bug fixes.
I've also provided a LED Animation SDK for developers.

Scrapple,
In theory, LEDBlinky should work with MA. MA provides the option to pre-launch an external application (LEDBlinky.exe) before starting the emulator, and it should be able to pass the ROM name. That being said, another member (colonelsnow) tried to get this working without any success. For some reason, MA does not pass the ROM name - either it's a bug, or we just don't know the correct syntax. Here's a forum thread on the subject:

It would be great if someone could get this to work!
Edit: Turns out that Maximus Arcade cannot easily (if at all) launch an external application prior to starting a game.

I've added a new option that allows LEDBlinky to detect game start/stop events using MAME output messages. So even when the FE does not support the ability to launch an external application prior to starting a game, (such as is the case with Maximus Arcade), you can still use LEDBlinky for MAME games. You can even use LEDBlinky without any FE - just using MAME or MAMEUI.
Since this feature really only benefits new users, I've added it to the current 3.7 release. If you've already downloaded or upgraded to 3.7 and you want this feature, snag the update again and it will add the new feature.
It would be great if I could get some feedback from a Maximus user (or any FE user other than MaLa/Atomic/GameEx) on how well this works. Thanks!

I seem to be having trouble getting the player start buttons on my cab to light when there is a credit available, any suggestions?
