Title: Mala - Ledwiz : how to let admin button led ON? [RESOLVED]
Post by: superbigjay on December 20, 2015, 06:18:19 pm
Anyone have experience with the ledwiz plugin for mala?

I have setup the different buttons in the configurators and in the global settings, I have tick the checkboxes to let the control buttons on.

In Mala, when I scroll the games, I see the player buttons turning on and off to identify the button used.
The control button however are all OFF and I can't find where to specify that option (apart from the checkboxes mentionned above).

Also, I'd like to know if it is possible to leave all button ON after I quit Mala.
Right now, when I exit Mala, all buttons turn off.

Regards

As you can see, all buton are setup to use single intensity.
Also, the first line that specify to lit the ctrl buttons, seems to be setup properly.

Any idea why the control button won't stay ON while in Mala or when Mame game is launched?

Note: All leds ramp up and flash when Mala launch. So I can confirm that they are properly connected/controlled on the ledwiz.

PS:you can disregard my question about when exiting mala. If needed, I'll use a command line at mala's exit...

Problem is resolved...

For the admin I left the effect at their default value NONE.
By changing them to ALWAYS_ON, it fixes the problem.

I didn't realized it at first because the action button where also left at NONE, but where ON/OFF depending on the game selected.

Well... my bad.
At least, I finally made it work.
