Has anyone used tiny displays either right next to a button or inside of a button to label the purpose of a button for each game in a Mame cabinet?

javeryh:

There may be smaller ones out there. . haven't done a big search yet.

I don't imagine you could use that PICOLCD for that purpose, its a tad big. The Crystal screen might work. I've seen a keyboard that has an OLED in every key to label them, but it's INSANELY expensive.

I'm guessing it might be easier and work a little better to get a small LCD screen (say 4x5 or so, from a car stereo TV or something) and run an image out to it to show your CP layout, but that's just one idea.
