  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Yeah I will be I just haven't inseted the pictures yet.

Also, about connecting the LED on those buttons, can I just wire them up to the 12v rail on my computer psu? If so, can I just daisy chain all of them back to the one 12v wire? (eight in total)

Are they 5v LEDs (most are) or 12v LEDs?  For example, Ultimarc's Ultralux triple LEDs are 12v rated, I think (because there are 3 LEDs together in one package).  Mostly, though, you would only use 5v for LEDs.

Usually you would run the LEDs from the same 5v wire.  Just make sure your wiring is in parallel, not series.  That is, daisy chain for both active (5v) and earth lines.

Check out my completed projects!

For all you cunning linguists, I thought that the little guy was sealing an envelope ...
