BTW, I don't know if this has been asked yet, but will the board support the "keyboard lights" feature of MAME, i.e. the blinking player 1 and 2 lights? Or will we still need to wire those up to an IPAC?

BuddaMAME will support this.

Love the project! I was looking to do somehting along the lines of this on my cab, but went with a different approch, didn't need all the flashy bits. (rethinking that now though...)
One "Bling" thing I was looking for and never found, so I build using discrete components, and after looking at your system might be fairly easy to impliment was a trackball fading circuit.
I haven't gotten the avi's hosted yet, but basically, when the trackball is idle, a couple of superbright leds under the trackball fade on and off about once every 4 seconds, then depending on the frequency of the pulses from the Y axis encoder, it ramps up to a max of about 10 "fades" a second.
I've had a lot of remarks on my other cab lighting, but the biggest response I've had is during a game of golf when you whack the trackball, it's flash rate varies in proportion to how hard you spin it.
Just an idea, that might add some additional "bling" to a great design!

Thank goodness. Now my lazy butt won't have to figure out how to do it on my own. :) Count me in.
millercentral:
Buddabing, can you share the software API design for the board that you are planning?
