On my cp, I use the FE animation option - I don't find the demo mode necessary because the buttons flash and speak the actions when the game starts. But I will look into allowing the animation and demo mode to work together. You could also light up the FE buttons (both active and non-active) - and that feature does work with the demo mode.
Kayden:
That wouldn't work for me as my front end buttons are the same physical buttons as the gameplay buttons. I have my u360 setup so game buttons are 1-6 and admin functions are 9-14... which are the same button, just shifted.

I must say that I LOVE LEDBlinky, Its the best in its class of software IMHO.
I only would have one request. Do you have a request board or anything BTW?
Well I was wondering if it would be possible or how difficult it would be to reflect colors on the monitor on the LEDs on the CP. I understand that you have far fewer LEDs than pixels on a monitor but I mean just general colors.
Segment the monitor into 8x8 segments or something and take that color and display it on a set of LEDS. that way you could decently reflect the color on the monitor onto the CP. at very lease have an item going across the screen actually "reflect" on the LEDs. I'm sure it would be a ton of work but just an Idea I had.
I actually built a cabinet with a translucent top with lights under it. I guess I'm being selfish cause I would LOVE to have my TV control the colors and have my TV mounted above the cabinet.
Hope you get what i am trying to say with the Idea. I'm sure it would open up a lot of things for people.

Darn - then I'm doing something seriously wrong. :burgerking: Unless it's a Hyperspin thing.

It does seem like you may have something configured wrong - If LEDBlinky doesn't find a game in the controls.ini it will look in the mame.xml file. So those games (like neogeo) should light up correctly - they just won't speak the button actions.
Unfortunately the debug file you sent me a few days ago seems to be corrupted - it only contains a few dozen log entries from the end of the file. So I can't really tell what's going on. If you want, turn on the debug/verbose option again, play some games that don't light up and email me the debug.zip file again.

I'll work on a new debug.zip file, but I wonder if using MultiMame has anything to do with my odd behavioral problems. ???

That's an interesting concept. But even if you segmented the display into an 8x8 grid as you suggested, there could by hundreds of colors in each quadrant - which would you use and for which button?
