LEDBlinky has the same features for HS as with most of the other integrated FEs (MaLa, AtomicFE, GameEx, and Maximus Arcade). Even the non-integrated FE's (like MameWah) can use most of blinky's features. So I'd go with whichever FE you like best.

You'll need to add this section to the MameOutputs.ini file:

[spyhunt]
LAMP0=P1_BUTTON4
LAMP1=P1_BUTTON5
LAMP2=P1_BUTTON3
LAMP3=P1_BUTTON2
LAMP4=P1_BUTTON1

Also, Spy Hunter is not included in the controls.ini file  ???, so you should import it using the controls editor and set the correct button colors and voice commands (Weapons Van, Machine Gun, Missile, etc.)

Believe me, I am not complaining... what you have done is amazing and I really appreciate you helping me with all of my stupid questions... I've said it before and I will say it again... THANK YOU!

I am sure you don't want to say you favor one over the other.... maybe I can ask the question a different way... I notice that Hyperspin doesn't have the same integration that the other FEs have (like the drop down menu for example).  If I was only thinking about the FE that integrates the best (read: easiest) is there one that you would choose?  I am obviously kind of new to this and I know that there are many options with strengths and weakness but I am think that I spent hundreds of dollars on light and it would be great to get to use them in their full capacity... if you can, any direction would be great..

I run MaLa in my cab - the original version of blinky only ran as a MaLa plugin. Needless to say, the handshaking between the two apps is tight. But all five of the FEs I listed have the same exact LEDBlinky features. So I'm not sure which drop-down you are referring to?

For my next cab I'll probably try a different FE.  ;)
