Light Buttons with LED Hardware/Software - COMING SOON!!!

(1/16) > >>

DinoRoger:
Well I am back. Due to some complications I had to leave the MAME scene for awhile. Before I left I was discussing an idea for lighting LED

RetroBorg:
I think your idea sounds great. I'd give it an 8 but if you are able to add the following suggestions I'll give it a 10.  ;)

An attract mode like on pinball machines, where all the LED's go off in sequences etc.

A sound detection device for people who play music on their cabinet so the buttons can pulsate with the beat of the music.

Perhaps some sort of ability to detect if the game needs a 4-way or 8-way joystick, your program could trigger some LED on the control panel that says 4-way joystick so people using the latest above panel 4/8-way switching joysticks know they need to switch from 8-way to 4-way etc.

Jakobud:
Cool idea. Sounds like it will compliment the Controls.dat project very well.

LoRDDeVO:
I think Its a good idea.  only question is do people have that many buttons that they need a light telling them which buttons are active?  Its a nice touch for a mod, and I would love to test one out but as for usefullness i don't know.  Thats just my opinion  ;D

paigeoliver:
I would like to volunteer as a tester. I currently own 4 complete Mame cabinets (horizontal 2 player 6 buttons, vertical 4-way, vertical 8-way, and horizontal trackball), with 5 more being worked on (Defender controls cabinet, Battlezone controls cabinet, dual steering wheel cab, vertical cocktail, and a vertical trackball cabinet).
