Programmable LCD Screen?
« on: May 24, 2013, 02:59:55 pm »
So as I work on my cabinet I had an idea that may or may not be possible. I was looking at programmable LCD's such as:

I thought it would be cool to have it display the game currently being played. Does anyone know if this is possible? I'm imagining it would have to be a feature built into either the front end or the emulator. Thanks!

Mala has a serial display plugin that works with BetaBrite signs.
Not sure if it can be configured to work with one of those USB ones.
