Need suggestions on setting up a MAME / emulator cab.
« on: May 11, 2009, 11:44:17 am »
Bear with me...  I'm good with hardware / wiring / hacking, etc, but not so much on the software side, and so much has been developed over the last couple of years.

Basically, I'm building a 3 sided cocktail cab (from Mameroom).

I've got RGB LED's for all the buttons and joysticks, and 4 LED-Wiz's to drive them.
I've got an Ipac-4 for the interface.

Now the question is, how to tie everything together?  I know I need arzoo's led-blinky utility.

Basically, I want the frontend to be horizontal, but I want games that are supposed to be vertical to play vertical (hence the 3-sided cocktail).
Also... I want the LED's to light up the correct controls for each game.

Help a software n00b!  :applaud:

Search the forum for 3 sided cocktail - there's lots of info! I'm pretty sure some of the FE's support that mode. MaLa comes to mind.
