LEDBlinky - Arcade LED Control software and Animation Editor - v8.2
Kayden:
Do you mean have each button act like one pixel on the monitor? And I presume you mean RGB LEDs. That's so far from infeasible it's not even funny.
That 8x8 section you're talking about would be the size of your thumbnail on the monitor, but would be over a foot wide of buttons on your CP. It would take 64 buttons and at $7 a piece that'd be well over $300... not to mention you'd need 2 LEDWizs just to accommodate them. Even then, it'd be such a small part of the screen blown up so big no one would be able to tell what it was anyways.
Or are you talking about having a part of the screen where you could click a pixel to change the color of the associated RGBLED? Even still, how does controlling the color of the LEDs with the TV come into play? A TV is an output only device. It doesn't sent data back to anything.
In short... lolwut?

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.

Actually, you would need 6 LED-Wiz controllers ;)

Heh, yea, I forgot to multiply by 3. :dizzy:
Neverending Project:
Is there a way to have a different profile for each emulator other than MAME?
I am using MaLa and LEDBlinky to light the game-specific controls when a MAME game is launched. I set it up to use a profile for "Other Emulators", but can I have a different profile for each "Other Emulator"? In other words, can I have it light P1B1 when Atari 2600 is selected, and P1B1-4 when SNES is selected, etc.? Also, is there a way to set it so it lights these emu controls when the emu is selected from the tree, rather than on game launch?

Yup - but you need to upgrade to the latest version (3.7.4). Using the Controls Editor you can define the default controls for each individual emulator. As for lighting the controls from the mala tree - if you turn on the Demo Controls option they should light up as you scroll through the games lists, but this may not be exactly what you're looking to do.
