[PLUGIN] LCD/LED Plugin 2.86

**headkaze** · March 14, 2008

Not all games in Mame flash the start buttons when a coin is inserted. So the plugin only supports games that do like DigDug.

I have an unbranded cheapo programmable LED marquee light lying around. Does this software support ONLY the listed types? And if so, where does one buy them?

I doubt it would work with any hardware not listed. I heard some people have gotten their BetaBrites off e-bay so I would take a look there.

Oops! Didn't realize that. They work fine now.

**dwight** · March 21, 2008

Hi,

Is there anywhere I can go to find a description of which arcade games haveflashing buttons?

I've found I had to turn the p1_start button on in the plugin myself before Dig Dug would flash correctly. I thought the start button wasn't ticked automatically possibly because of the colors.ini file I use? I'm still working through how this works.

Any help appreciated.

Regards,

Dwight.

Wow, this plugin is awesome. Took a little thinking to figure it out (I should have just read this thread) but it's very easy past the initial learning stage.

Unfortunately, I seem to be getting no lights for MAME games. I set up profiles for my other emulators, so they work fine, but nothing for MAME. Do I need special ini files anywhere?

Edit: Actually, when in MAME I just get whatever lights I've set up for the "GameEx" profile.

Edit: Oh, and since the latest version of GameEx (released yesterday) I seem to get the "Welcome to GameEx" speech when I start gameex, even though I've turned that off (even if I change the text it doesn't help.)

I now see all my MAME games when I select "MAME" on the plugin event configuration page, but I still have no change. Just whatever I set up my GameEx controls to be.

**crummy** · March 29, 2008

I managed to the MAME keys lighting up, but I'm still having issues with the plugin configuration program.

I'll load it up, hit the Profile Editor tab, click Dreamcast, click Ikaruga, make some changes (changing Always Active to False for a few buttons), click Save, click Exit, then go back in and my changes were never saved.

In some cases I've reverted to editing ini files, but this is far from desirable

Edit: This time it worked? Maybe it's related to me remote desktopping it (seems to save changes OK) vs editing via the machine itself.

Regardless, can anyone explain the difference between "State" and "Always active"?

**headkaze** · March 29, 2008

Sorry I've been meaning to "tend" to this thread and forgot about it. Not sure why settings are not saving for you and I can't imagine remote desktop being the cause. When it doesn't save perhaps check the PluginLCD.log file for any errors.

"State" determines if the control is lit or not lit and "Always Active" forces it to be lit. "Always Active" is for profiles like "GameEx" so you can set things like admin buttons (Exit/Pause etc.) to always stay lit. In the "Mame" profile you might have Start and Coin buttons set to "Always Active" as another example.

You mention compatibility with BetaBrite signs. Do you also support the BetaBrite Prism signs? It is USB capable.

You mention compatibility with BetaBrite signs. Do you also support the BetaBrite Prism signs? It is USB capable.

I'm not 100% sure to be honest. It depends on a few things A) If it uses the same protocol as the original BetaBrite's and If they have a USB driver that acts like a virtual com port. In my experience devices like this that connect through USB do have a virtual com port driver for them. If the answer is yes to both of those then it should work fine.

I request that mention of this plugin to be made in this thread:

I Think HK should do it, since it's his baby.

Edit: I would also like to note for anybody reading this thread that there are other possibilities of what the plugin could do here:

My controls haven't been lighting up since I moved to the new machine, thought I'd take a go at working out whats wrong, seems the buttons light up if I use the test program that came with the ledwiz but when I try to click anything LEDWiz related in your plugin it bombs with this log file:

Any ideas? The plugin config start ok but as soon as I click the LED Input Tab it vanishes

Well, it says it can't find your Mame.ini.....Could that cause all this?

Seriously, I don't know....(I don't want it to sound like I'm talking down to you)

19/04/2008 11:07:37: Could not find file 'E:\Mame\mame.ini'.

**headkaze** · April 19, 2008

Yes if you've moved your GameEx folder you will probably have to go into the PluginLCD config and set your Mame folders again.

**bkenobi** · April 19, 2008

I hate it when simply reading an error log gives the actual problem and it turns out I'm too lazy to look.

**Stu1983** · April 19, 2008

Well I did see the bit about the Mame.ini and I thought it was a bit odd as I haven't changed any folders everything in my new computer is still installed in the same folder on my E: drive, and as far as I'm concerned my mame.ini has always been in the E:\MAME\INI\ not the root of the MAME folder, I also noted that in the lcd config file it seems to think my ini should be in an INI folder so I don't know why it's looking for it in the root.

Anyway I also tried moving the ini from the ini folder to the root but it made no difference to the config utility other than when it crashed the log file did't complain about the mame.ini but it still had all the other errors.

Stu

Is there some way I can completely reset the plugin?

I'm not using that plugin as of right now, but there must be a pluginlcd.ini in the plugins folder, If there is, just move it out (don't delete it, you might need it back)

BTW: If I'm wrong, HK will correct me in a minute...

Yeah I've already tried ditching the LCD.ini file in the plugin folder and I also tried deleting the PluginLCD.ini file in the PluginLCD folder and also the DevicePort-Input.ini file but not joy with any of them.

Stu

**headkaze** · April 21, 2008

If you delete PluginLCD.ini you will have to run the plugin configuration so it will create it again. Check PluginLCD.ini after that

Are your Mame paths correct? (it gets them from GameEx.ini the first time so if they're wrong there, they will be wrong in the plugin)

Eg.

[Mame]
Exe=C:\Emulation\Mame0123 64bit\vmame64.exe
Cfg=C:\Emulation\Mame0123 64bit\Cfg
Ctrlr=C:\Emulation\Mame0123 64bit\Ctrlr
Ini=C:\Emulation\Mame0123 64bit\Ini
Version=0.124a

When you run GameEx again, if it's still not working, exit out and check the PluginLCD.log for any errors.

**Stu1983** · April 21, 2008

After I delete the PluginLCD.ini, running the configuration doesn't re-create it for me and if I manually edit the PluginLCD.ini so that it points to "E:\Mame\Ini" it still tries to read it from "E:\Mame\"

This is the log I get:

Now if I move my mame.ini from "E:\Mame\Ini" to "E:\Mame" then I get this log when I click "Enable LEDWiz" on the "Options 1" tab in the plugin configuration:

You definately should have Mame.ini in E:\Mame not in E:\Mame\Ini. I don't even look in any folder other than Mame's root folder for Mame.ini, so leave it in root that's were it should be.

Secondly, this new PC, it is a stripped down version of XP or something? It looks like it can't find the Speech components.

You need to install sapi51.msi and sapi51xp.msi. Hopefully that should get it running.

Yeah it's a vlite version of Vista and I did remove the speech component it saved a gig or something, installing those 2 files didn't fix it, still the same error, is there a Vista version I need? Do I really need this as I don't intend to use this feature of your plugin
