You can try using the LEDBlinkyTroubleshooting app which may help diagnose issues with buttons not lighting.

troubleshooter didnt offer much, so started looking through the files, turned out to be a rogue setting in the LEDBlinkyControls.xml that wasnt showing in the LEDBlinkyControlsEditor for the rom

If I add games to Colors.ini in the LEDBlinky folder, should that light up the buttons set for that game in mame, eg I added 88games and mapped the colors to red,green,blue to the file, just like other games are mapped in there and that worked, but then I add 1on1gov the same way and that doesnt light up the controls at all, is there something else I also need to configure somewhere to make them work, I am currently just working on the mame game list to set all controls to the original cab colors that I can find, so every game in mame lights up.
this is an example of what I added
[1on1gov]
P1_BUTTON1=Red
P1_BUTTON2=Green
P1_BUTTON3=Blue
P2_BUTTON1=Red
P2_BUTTON2=Green
P2_BUTTON3=Blue
[88games]
P1_BUTTON1=Red
P1_BUTTON2=Green
P1_BUTTON3=Blue
P2_BUTTON1=Red
P2_BUTTON2=Green
P2_BUTTON3=Blue
so the [88games] one worked but [1on1gov] doesnt

My guess is your front-end is not sending LEDBlnky a GameSelected or GameStart command with "1on1gov" as the rom parameter. If you look at the Import Unknown Games menu on the Controls Editor, it will show you all the game and emulator values passed to LEDBlinky which are not defined in the Controls Editor or controls.ini file. If that doesn't help, send me an email with your debug.zip and/or debug.log file and I'll take a look.

I'm having the hardest time finding answers to my issue. I set up an arcade for my inlaws using BigBox/Launchbox (using the MAME emulator through Launchbox), we got LEDBlinky and only a handful of games are actually showing up with the proper buttons lit up. I'm not sure how or where to fix the rest of them. Can anyone assist? My in-laws are getting restless because they don't feel like the arcade is "done" - so they haven't even used it...but mostly it's because they don't know what buttons do what for which games...Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!!
