Determine game controls

Just wondering if this type of software is around.

Is a program which runs with mame that when you run a rom it tells you what buttons to use etc.

Such as 1942 uses 2 buttons where are 88 games uses three. Something like an image that comes up on the bottom of the screen that shows you the original game panel button controls.

Just wondeing as I thought this would be a great idea if possible.

It is out there. I have seen people with crazy setups in which the buttons glow the original color they did in the arcade, and only the required buttons light up. Another guy went a step forward, and when a game is selected a voice states what each button does as it flashes in corresponding order. Crazy I tell ya!

I think the talking controls is a bit overboard but still interesting.

I'm sure interested in lighting the buttons that will be used.

What is needed for that aside from the lit buttons of course.

I just recently purchased 150 lit buttons for $1.00 each so I'd love to know how to wire them in regards to lighting for each game.

The buttons I purchased have 12v lights in them.

So what else do I need for this type of control?

You'd think that until you're firing up Defender.   ;)
