Now that I have LEDblinky working well with MAME I want to set -up some other systems to say and blink primary controls and buttons. I've been using the LEDBlinky Controls Editor to do this. I've figures out how to map the buttons but I'm having trouble setting the primary control so the TTS voice and say something like. "Primary Control, 8 Way Joystick"

So two questions:

1. Where do you set the primary control

2. Does anyone have a config file that already has other systems set-up? I realize I would have to go in and edit them but I'm thinking it could save time looking at how others have it set-up.

Parsec,

You set the primary control in the in the LEDBlinky Controls Editor. When you first setup the emulator, give it a name and hit Ok. Then a new Rom by hitting the New button next to the empty Rom list. If it is to be the default rom, click the Default checkbox on the far right. If not, give it the name of the rom file without an extension. Right below that, hit the New button to create a new Common Control. There you can choose the joystick you want and check the Primary Control check box and change the spoken name if you would like.

For me, I created the default and a single rom entry for all my emaulators. Then went into the LEDBlinkyControls.xml and created the rest in there.

Here is an example out of my xml:

  <emulator emuname="daphne" emuDesc="Daphne, Lazer Disk Emulator">
   <controlGroup groupName="DEFAULT" voice="" numPlayers="2" alternating="1" defaultActive="49,49,49,49" defaultInactive="0,0,0,0">
