For instance I would like the buttons to display as blue....but when pressed while playing the game to turn green
Thanks,

LEDBlinky can intercept key presses and in fact has a button flash mode similar to what you want (flashes all buttons when any is pressed) but it's only available when the FE is active. As ivwshane suggested, I didn't want to add any additional load on the cpu when the emulator is running so LEDBlinky pretty much stays in the background.
But it is a cool concept - I'll consider it as a possible future enhancement. Right now I'm working on an audio animation mode so that LEDBlinky can blink to music.

First of all.....LEDblinky is great! (lol drove myself crazy trying to make it work....helps if you setup the mame.xml list and the controller.ini....lol). Two quick questions, when using the trackball during a game, is there a way to make the colors change or do you have to just set it to a standard color? I also wanted two of my admin buttons to be lighted during game play, how/where do i set this up? Thanks in advance!

tyson171,
The trackball should light the color specified in the colors.ini file (for mame). If it's not working, you can turn on the Debug Log and Verbose option, play a game that uses the trackball, then send me the debug.zip file and I'll try to figure out what's going on.
As for lighting the admin buttons - run the Controls Editor; If you don't have one already, add a "Default" control group for mame. Then, on the Common Controls tab, add the mame UI controls your cp uses (UI_CONFIGURE, UI_PAUSE, UI_SELECT, UI_CANCEL). Check the "Always Active" option for each control and you should be good to go.

You mention that two controllers are needed when using in collaboration with a screensaver. I'm only having two lit buttons, the start buttons which I'd like to light up when credits are available, and the other outputs will be used for some cabinet lights I'd like to flash when a screensaver is on. Would I need two controllers for this?
