Sorry it has been so long since I've updated. My grandmother passed away suddenly Sunday. I have both control panels up and running. I am still stuck using the basic program Randy provided and I will have to wait patiently, as I have no clue on the programing end of things. I will post some video of the Boston cabinet as soon as I get a chance. I am currently setting it up in Easthampton, MA. It's weird, because yesterday, I was in Southern Kentucky at the funeral and I live near Columbus, OH! I'm a little road weary to say the least. Mike, it looks freakin' awesome. I can't wait to see more as it develops. Sorry I can't be more help on the software end. If you guys know anything about t.v.'s, take a look over in the monitor forum, as I am having a problem with the t.v. in the Boston cabinet. It has the rainbow effect going on.

mccoy,
Sorry to hear about your loss. Hope all is well.
What mame package do you run? With a little work I could probably get my setup running on your cabinet. It would allow me to make the thing a little more user friendly. I have some code that is specific to my setup that I would need to make configurable. My setup is based on Mame32. Not sure you could use this or not. I think some front ends are more mame friendly and don't like mame32.
I recently setup my system to only illuminate coin acceptors that are recognized by the game. Donkey Kong for instance doesn't register anything dropped in coin2. I setup my input parser to look for the supported coin doors. The random flashing routine is also specific to my setup. I'm in the process of creating a lighting queue and lighting sequences so things like the random routine are also configurable.
MikeQ:
This thread has been going all over the place lately and I'm wondering if we should move off this topic so we don't pollute Randy's LED-WIZ thread.
Any thoughts from anyone?

The thread is fine I think. Randy should make a statement in big bold letters on the first post and place all new major updates and software there. Kind of like the mamemovie thread. Only interested folks would then read all our stuff. I would start a new thread about your software. It seems to be something, that if made for universal use, would be of great interest.
On another note, I am finally back in Ohio. 32 hours of driving in the past few days is enough to last me awhile. I can't think straight right now, so I will respond with an intelligent thought in a day or two. I need some sleep!
Roughy:
I'm jumping in waaaaaaaay late here, and I apologize way in advance for any snafus I may/will make here. I've been skimming through a bunch of this, and my interest in piqued as I'll be putting together most of my cab/cp this upcoming week and it wouldn't be too tough to make a modification now as opposed to then.
What I'm most interested in would seem to be simple to me:
All lights on while in the front end. When the game becomes operational, only the lights that are for actual items that can be used will be lit.
Have I missed where this is/can be done?
Thanks for your patience.
