A Mame machine in an antique buffet - USB probs solved (I think!)
drventure:
And in case you don't know what ambx is,
www.ambx.com
Basically, it's a lighting controller that casts a colored glow via a wall light and several speaker shaped lights, but it can also control additional devices (like fans to simulate a breeze, additional lights, a vibration feedback pad and it sounds like other devices in the near future).
Its like the ARFX package I mention several pages back but a TON cheaper!

Oh yeah, didn't even think to mention the SDK! I didn't know about the hardware simulator; that's pretty cool.
I wouldn't hold my breath for "other devices in the near future," though. Phillips was distributing the thing but dropped it at some point, and now the amBX company is trying to go it alone. They reportedly struck some sort of contract with Sony, which includes provisions for PS3 related devices and I believe something specifically related to the Bravia line. Hopefully that's going somewhere, and they'll have the funding and support to continue. But based on what I've seen in the community, things haven't looked the "brightest" lately (pardon the pun). Maybe they're focusing on the Sony stuff right now, which is resulting in a bit less support for the discontinued Phillips stuff.
LOL @ the pool table comment; that is what it looks like! And it would be cool!
drventure:
Yeah, I'm not holding out a lot of hope for it. Wasn't there a USB device some time ago that let games generate "smells" to "immerse you into the gaming world" or somesuch? :)
Just what I want, my computer stinking things up on me!
But the light effects look great.
