I will try to step it up as well. 
I think the peice we need to coordinate on, loadman, is that attract mode code. I have a placeholder for it.
yep and some options for
* Ramp up all leds and ficker on mala start
* Flicker and Ramp down on mala quit
* Attract mode
- Enabled / random
* Options for flicker/flash when changing lists/emu's
* Flash n' speak controls (On/Off/ Only for games not played much)
* Option to have individual game configs in sub directories (with the name of the emu eg Amiga, PSX, mame)
* ect
I will e-mail you tomorrow
