Title: PM + LED Wiz Standards?
Post by: MYX on April 24, 2006, 09:07:09 pm

Hey, since PM was started primarily geared towards the development of LEDWiz content integrated into MAME, can we also set forth a set of standards for button numbering. This way we can trade animations.


Example:

        15 16 17

1 2 3            9  10 11
4 5 6           12 13 14


(15 - p1, 16 - coin up, 17 - p2)

Spaces are left for extra buttons if a person has em. This way you can program for a set standards. If someone does not have an extra button, odviously it would not play.

Any thoughts?

You know what?  That was a perfect time to post that.  I have just mounted the LEDWiz to the control panel and I'm getting ready to do the wiring.  I have a four player cp.  I suggest just numbering the player buttons, mouse buttons, and the joysticks.  Even then I think it would be difficult because we all have so many configurations.  But, I definitely like the idea.  I'll wire my grounds tonight and await further comment.

Perhaps start with a core set of numbers and if more players are added then add numbers in pods. Then it gets more interesting if you go RGB. May be this is not such a good idea.  :P Anyway I will wait for more input.
