I did have a feature request though. It would be nice to have the option to run an animation when a person chooses a gamelist, picks a category, etc.
I'm not trying to compare your plugin to Headkaze's by any means but when browsing gameex, everytime you make a menu selection or go back a page it flashes an animation, it's a pretty cool feature. I thought it would be nice if LedBlinky had this option. I suppose it is somewhat dependent on the frontend. I plan on using it with Hyperspin.

I agree, that could be a nice feature - but you are correct, it is FE dependent. I'll look into it for a future release.
Charles4400:
Is there a way to change the controls.ini file (or any other file) so that led blinky speaks additional control information?
For example for "19XX: The War Against Destiny"
Button 1 is fire
Button 2 is bomb
But if you hold down button1 (fire) you get a special attack.... Is there a way for the voice to tell you to hold down fire for the special attack?
Is there also a way for it to tell you moves which require you to hold down 2 buttons at the same time?
(such as 1943 Kai: Midway Kaisen (Japan) pressing button 1 and 2 together allows you to loop)
-Thanks!

You can edit the controls.ini and modify the action for any button. For example, you could change button one to "Fire, hold for special attack". As for combo buttons, there's currently no way to flash and speak both buttons at the same time. I may be able to enhance this in a future release.
By the way, the next release of LEDBlinky will have a new Controls Editor which will let you make these kinds of configuration changes without having to manually edit any ini files. It's mostly designed to help configure other emulators, but you'll also be able to modify MAME controls for speech and color.

Thanks Arzoo!!!...Of course why didn't I think of just adding more descriptive text to the button speech !? :P makes perfect sense.... should have tried that first!!!
Having two button speech and flash would be great on a future release! ;D
One more question though,
If controls.ini is what LEDBlinky reads for mame what file does it read for other emulators such as Daphne so I can edit it appropriately?
Thanks!

You can edit the controls_emu.ini for all other emulators. Or just wait for the next release with the control editor app - but it could a month or so before it's ready, unless you'd like to do some beta testing? :) Regardless, if you modify the controls_emu.ini file, all the data will be imported with the controls editor - so you won't lose anything.
