LEDBlinky - Arcade LED Control software and Animation Editor - v8.2
Charles4400:
I setup LEDBlinky correctly to the best of my knowledge...
I followed the documentation of setting up input controls with generateinputmap application and then config application and set up a profile for hyperspin...
In the config app, when I test lwax displays it show up on my CP....here is my settings.ini of ledblinky:

Charles4400:
Oh also I have not tried LEDblinky with another FE, I barely tried mala as my first fe before even building my cab but pretty much went straight into hyperspin from there once I saw the hyperspin graphics and layout...I never looked for another fe after that!
bent98:
Ok
But did you configure Ledblinky at all? Did you tell it what buttons are mapped to ports on your pac drive? Did you setup your mame settings? Did you set up Hyperspin to light up in use buttons?
LEDblinky doesnt just work out of the box.
Charles4400:
Yes I configured LEDblinky...
I told it what buttons are mapped to the ports on the pac drives via genledblinkyinputmap.exe...check
I setup mame settings, 'mame config tab' via ledblinkyconfig.exe, ....check
I setup hyperspin unfer 'Hyperspin Options tab' (originally i did not have anything checked here because I did not want the hyperspin specific controls to be lit up, but for this case I checked it all and hyperspin settins.ini path was input before here as well.) this all done in 'Hyperspin Controls' tab via ledblinkyconfig.exe ...check
I setup the hyperspin animations to play in 'FE Options' tab in ledblinkyconfig.exe, such as startup animations, speech and closing animations etc...)...check
All tests work within LEDBlinky (I can see animations on CP etc.. when pressing the test buttons)
I setup a hyperspin Profile under 'Led blinky tools' tab again in ledblinkyconfig.exe. Made sure everyhing was set (all single bulbs at 49)...check
Am I missing something very important?
Was there anything else I needed to setup in Hyperspin?
The only thing I did within Hyperspin is made sure that Hyperspin was enabled and added the backslash to the ledblinky path...all within Hyperspin's settings.ini.

You've definitely got LEDBlinky configured!
I'm convinced the problem is that HyperSpin is not launching LEDBlinky. When I look at my HyperSpin log, this is what I see:
07:36:50 PM | HyperSpin Started
07:36:50 PM | Startup Program Unvavailable
07:36:50 PM | Menu mode is multi
07:36:50 PM | LEDBlinky is set to active
07:36:50 PM | Found LEDBlinky.exe
07:36:50 PM | Running LEDBlinky
07:36:51 PM | Menu.xml found
Is it possible you're not running the latest version of HS?
