Well count me in as one of the religious nuts because after reading his post I believe Mala is his best choice.  Also you need to read that post.  He ASKED for FE opinions and was given one.  No need to get offended if your FE hasn't been recommended yet.  Any FE's users can give their opinions here.

I'm not offended by anything he said. I was just saying there are other FE's with LEDWiz support. I wouldn't recommend any front end hands down no questions asked because there is no perfect solution in this case. Reading over the thread, both arzoo's LEDBlinky for Mala and my LEDWiz plugin for GameEx support most the features he's after. Including colors.ini support, LED's that stay lit etc. I'd rather just say to try them all rather than flog my own wares in these threads, so forgive me for not getting into details about it.

I understand what you are saying, but if its GG's opinion that Mala is the best FE for this user, its certainly within his right to say so.  Its not like he's closely associated with a FE like you are.

Yeah, he's entitled to an opinion and so am I. If this is about the religious nut comment, orginally it was more of an obvious joke comparing users to Mormons, FE's to bibles and thread posting to door knocking, but I toned it down to avoid offending anyone. I probably should have put a smiley after that, but then it looks like I'm laughing at my own lame jokes. Which is kinda like enjoying the smell of your own fart :)

Green Giant:
Wow, created so much controversy.  I mainly said that because there are currently two different ledwiz controlling options for mala.  I know other FE's support the ledwiz, but you have the most variety from what I have seen with mala. 

I haven't heard about any other frontends with the same features as the ledblinky.  I think the ledblinky is far superior if you are going rgb per button over the other mala ledwiz plugin.  I spent a little time setting all the buttons up on my control panel in the ledblinky setup window.  Then all I did was point it to the colors.ini, mame.xml, controls.ini, and mame cfg folder.  The way it reads all my custom configs for games like neogeo is one of the features I really like. 

Being able to change button layouts on the fly and light them to the original colors is what did it for me.  I was under the impression that other ledwiz supported front ends don't have these particular features which are best for people utilizing a massive control panel and all three colors.

Does Mala support Dual Act Labs lightgunes which I currently own? 

My arcade cabinet is currently at a relatives shop for artwork to be air-brushed on the cab so I have sometime to get all the hardware from GGG and software together.  I think I am going to go ahead and replace all my current buttons with GGG's Electric Ice buttons as well as purchase 4 Led-Wiz controllers with the Electric Ice trackball upgrade kit.  I actually have been looking at SlikStiks illuminated custom joysticks as well.  They really compliment the CP if you ask me.

Now for your questions.

1.  It does support the emumovies.  Look at the link I posted to my cab.  You can see the buttons being lit and emumovies running on my cab.

2.  It does support dual lightguns.  I use the lcd topguns, but the principal should be the same.  Any frontend can use lightguns I think since it is mame that will be utilizing them.

If you have the money then all the more power to you.  I have thought of replacing my pause and exit buttons with led buttons, maybe one day.  The plugin lets you set any led to always on if you want to so you could have your coin and player buttons always lit in whatever color you choose.
