LED Blinky w/ MESSUI emulator
« on: June 20, 2009, 06:05:02 pm »
Does LED Blinky work with MESS?   I mean, I can define controls to use with MESS, but what if I use MESS for multiple emulators.   Is there any way for me to diferentiate controls for Nintendo, SNES, etc, if all are emulated through MESS?

Thanks

If you launch MESS from an FE and you want to LEDBlinky to use a different control set for each MESS emulated system, then you'll need to create separate batch files for each MESS/emulator.

Sorry, do you know what I could search for to find directions on how to create a batch file like that?

The mess documentation lists all the command line stuff. For example, Atari 2600 is something like this:
mess.exe a2600 <other parameters>

So you could create a batch file called a2600.bat with that single command. Then have your FE launch the batch file. In the LEDBlinky controls editor, you'll create a control set for a2600.bat.

I'll give that a shot and see if I can get it work.  Thanks for clearing that up!
