Have you checked out the file? It does have colour info for trackballs.

BTW May I ask why your creating a new LEDWiz plugin for Mala? What is wrong with the current one? It's also being updated to version 2, which I expect will include support for colors.ini and MameInterop.

Sorry, I did check out the colors.ini file, but for some reason I searched for 'Mouse', not Trackball, DOH!

There's nothing wrong with the current LEDWiz plugin - loadman and edge have done an excellent job. But I wanted something that worked more like PowerMame or J5 so that remapping controls would also remap the LEDs. I've asked loadman if he has any objections to a second LED plugin option for MaLa users and he's ok with it. His will work great for most cp's and it's very easy to configure. Mine's a pain to configure and would only benefit someone who wants many different control mappings.

Plus, I just wanted to see if I could do it.  ;D

Yeah I'm looking to add support for custom button mappings too. It's obviously a little more involved, but right now I want to support both the simple way (the way it is now, mappings directly to controls), or with an option to map to keys instead and read the custom cfg files.

Probably not for V2   :o    as it turns out but one day.

Sorry to bump an old thread but I'm wondering if the custom mapping was ever implemented?

I have a 7(rgb/ledwiz) button layout with a default button mapping of:

 567
 234
1

Having the default setup works great for 1-4 button games like neo geo and the colors map correctly to the correct buttons. However when I have games that require different mapping such as street fighter, ex:

 123
 456

It turns out like this (bold means lighted):
 567
 234
1

I know, I just started searching and I found this thread and I thought it might be a colors.ini issue instead of a ledblinky one and if they never fixed this then nothing you do will help.

But it looks like you got it under control in my thread:D
