led blinky help

[dpickl01]

ok so i have this pac led board and i can not get it to fire, i have read the manual, emailed the guy over in the uk and i still cant get it, he even sent me a new board,

i have my jumber wire pluged into the + on the board on the left and right ( top) ( the usb port is facing down) the p1 buttons 1-7 and the start are assigned to the left side of the board, and vis versa on the p2 side, each have their own set of jumppers, the board appears to have a led light that does not light up but i dont know?

downloaded led blenkey and im not sure what is going on but like i said nothing works i dont know if the board has power the pc make noise when it connected and it made me restart after the first time i pluged it in.

any help would be great ,

can anyone help ?????

Sounds like you have not setup the MAME config in LEDBlinkey?

Do you have these settings and are the files there?

Thanks,

Ron

Try the SimpleLEDTest app in the LEDBlinky folder - that will at least tell you if your hardware is working.

The MAME xml game list is generated with MAME by running the command line:

mame64.exe -listxml > gamelist.xml

And the controls.ini has to be downloaded of the web:

Thanks,

Using Windows Explorer (if you have Vista or better), navigate to your MAME folder.

In an open area on the screen, hold down the shift key and right-click. In that pop-up menu you will get an option to "Open Command Window Here".

Left click on that option. It will open a black command window (dos screen).

In that box type mame.exe or what ever your MAME executable is, space and then type:

-listxml > gamelist.xml

Hit enter.

Thanks,

Ron
