matt4949:
So here's my idea.
Great big ol' touchscreen
Waist hi table with LED side rails
What's the largest touchcsreen?
How do I get the LEDs to fire the same as in the game?
Ideas? Thoughts?

Disclaimer: I have no idea how to write the actual code described below.
Consider using an AHK script like the one Le Chuck used in Darkade for auto-switching Tron between 4-way and 8-way depending on whether you are on a 4-way level (light cycles) or an 8-way level. (MCP)
In a nutshell AHK monitors a specific part of each video frame looking for an indication of which level you select and sets the 4-way/8-way servo stick accordingly.
For your application, you need to monitor 4 patches (red, yellow, blue, and green) of each video frame and when that color flashes brighter on the screen, have AHK trigger a relay that switches on the LED strip.
You might be able to get away with monitoring only 2 patches (red/blue and yellow/green) and doing two comparisons per patch.

^ That should do it, the smaller the sample size the better so you don't get false positives. I don't know how much lag there might be tho, that game is pretty fast and I don't know if the LED blinky to script to AHK to game will work out. Give it a shot. Have that game in windows?

ELO makes some 40 inch LCD touchscreens. IIRC they are about 3500 buck. (plus shipping) they will also make you whatever size. for a premium of course.
