BETABRITE SCROLL SIGN IN ARCADE OS

Silver,
Everything is working great. I don't have the balls to tackle mameway 1.62 right now. I tried it a little last night and I'm gonna wait a few days to see the hows it goes it. Thanks again for all the hard work. I love it.
Silver:
No problem...
and I know what you mean about the new mamewah - seems to be loads of config stuff to do!
If things are working good it would be cool to see some pics at some stage....

I have undertaken attaching my CPU to the cabinet. So, it could be a minute before I'm ready. I do have a couple picks, including my main one, displaying the sign in action @
www.ohiostate.photosite.com
Is there any hope sending the text for mamewah's layout screen with 1.61? I know chances are slim, I thought I would ask!
Silver is the man!!! ;D
Silver:
Wow that does look real nice!
I take it from the pic the game titles are not split up any more - excellent!
Mamwah 1.61 - well lets have a stab at it:
In the Mamewah/ini/mame.ini file in there should be a couple of lines:
lcd_display_file_path *your lcd path here*
lcd_fe_text
After lcd_fe_text try adding:
?00AA oSelect Game
Note that may not post well at all, or not be copyable, so I've also placed it in an attached txt file. Copy and paste from that into the mamewah mame.ini - you may find notepad does not do it right, and you find that mamewah will choke.
EDIT: I've done some reading up on the protocol, and it looks like there's a way that is more likely to work. We can change the above nasty characters to something that notepad and mamewah should like fine. Try copy and pasting this instead:
]!?00]"AASelect Games]$
The drawbacks are 1) apparantly you must set the baud rate to 9600 for this, as without the weird characters the sign can't detect the baud rate. I'm not convinced thats true - especially if you've already sent 1 message beforehand - so give it a shot on any baud. 2) There's no option to control how this text is displayed (flashing snowing effect or whatever) but that should not be an issue as those options will still work for all the games....
hope it works. (Man, I have GOT to get me one of these signs - just not seeing any available over in the UK...)

I'll give it a shot tonight and report back. Thanks for the work. Give Ebay a shout for the sign. Model #213c. Fits perfect in my 27" wide cab.
