Thank you so much for making this. I finally figured it out a few years ago, but I would like to revisit it again and this was very easy to follow and up to date. You are the man!!! :)

Thank you for this tutorial Daniel, one day I will own a full size arcade and will be able to install these awesome buttons, this video will come in handy. cheers

Thank you for all of your tutorial videos! Been following along as I wire up my machine. It would be awesome if you did some troubleshooting guides on common issues on setting up our machine.

Amazing tutorial. Thank you! Where did you get all those MAME Clear Logos in black square at timestamp 19:30? Those are so cool!

Awesome tutorial! Thank you! I ended up buying LED blinky. Good price for someone doing this either permanent or side hustle. This would be for MANE and other emulators. I guess the question would be what's the best front end if that makes the difference. I'm still trying to put all the puzzle pieces together to make my RGB buttons configurable without any scripting if possible. I'm following the video, but not entirely sure how that works with other emulators. I am not using the controller board for actual input, just RGB control. I purchased a board that emulates 4x Xbox controllers via USB and it makes sure the OS enumerates them in the same order every time.

I've been praying for software like signal rgb that has hooks into led control boards and emulators. You can literally use a video and overlay every rgb on your computer to match a position on a video. SO EASY to animate.

Thanks so much for such an easy and clear tutorial. Very timely for me as I am almost done with my arcade rebuild. One question, It wasn't made clear, are the ports the position you connected the light to your board, in your case IO board or would Port 1 always be player 1 joystick? Hope you get a kickback because this video just prompted me to buy a license now that that I understand it. I do not understand how ledblinky works with the servo stick though, is that what sets the proper config per game? Now you have do a tutorial on the stream deck and icons and connections lol. thank you as always

Hi Alex, no - you can choose your own port-label for any button or joystick. Super easy. Servosticks: just like the button light info, mame has also 8 or 4 way info. Ready to go. So just enable Servostick in the full version and you are golden 🙌🏻

What is your favorite front end that you like the best? Very nice work. I would like to do a star wars sit down cab from the original!

I like Launchbox / Bogbox best now 😅

@RobotRon_2084 4 ай бұрын

Do you prefer the servo joysticks over the programmable ultra 360 analog sticks? I haven't tried either yet, but I'll definitely be getting the goldleaf rgb buttons and ledblinky. I previously thought i couldn't use this with launchbox for some reason.

@TheDanielSpies_Arcades 4 ай бұрын

There are both great, I always like the servostiks best 😊

Hi Daniel how are you? if your client wanted 8 buttons instead of 6 (on player buttons), an extra ipac board would be needed because you can't use 3 and 4 player buttons because of the trackball and spinner right? having in total 32 inputs instead of 48 ( 8 for joysticks, 12 for normal buttons, 4 for coin and pause and 4 for the menus) in this case for the same cabinet but with 8 buttons instead of 6, what was the best board to complement the ipac ultimate? another ultimate? (sounds overkill) or the best option is to sacrifice 2 of the 4 pinball buttons and 2 of the menu buttons? Thank you. Love your content =D

@TheDanielSpies_Arcades 3 ай бұрын

Hi, You can also connect the spinner / trackball directly via USB instead of using the Ipac. This will save you the needed extra buttons. Another Ipac is indeed a costly solution. The small PCB's you need to connect the spinner and ipac are an option when ordering or can be ordered separately. They are pretty cheap :) Thanks! Daniel

Bedankt voor de leuke video en tutorial! Op 24:30 start je bigbox welk thema heb je gebruikt voor de NES intro video? En waar zou ik deze kunnen downloaden?

@@TheDanielSpies_Arcades Ok dank je voor je snelle reactie. Jammer maar mijn Launchbox is reeds vrij compleet en ik heb al een bigbox licentie, maar ik sta altijd open voor mooie verfraaingen zoals de jouwe 👍

@Victor-it6bv 3 ай бұрын

I have question. On the bottom of ultimarc ultimate IO board under ports 1-48 it says rgb+. But under port 49-96 it says bgr+. Does that mean i should program it the same way its labeled on the board?

@TheDanielSpies_Arcades 3 ай бұрын

You will need to connect the wires in the right orientation, programming doesn't change

Hey Daniel, top video. Vraag, heb je voor de betaalde versie van Ledblinky altijd een internet verbinding nodig of alleen tijdens de eerste keer opstarten? Persoonlijk hoeft van mij een Arcade cabinet niet constant aan het internet te hangen. Want dan moet je ook weer security regelen en Windows steeds updaten.

Nice tutorial!! I got a question. I have an LED strip plugged into my pacled64. I just want it to turn on to BLUE when I turn my pc on. Just always on, nothing crazy. I can't figure out how to keep the blue light on, but I know it works when testing it in pacled64 app and LedBlinky app. I feel like there is something simple I'm missing. Any help would be appreciated!

@TheDanielSpies_Arcades 4 күн бұрын

Hmm, don’t use ledblinky for that. Just wire the strip to your pc psu and you are golden 👍🏼

@ChrisMasloff 21 күн бұрын

is there anyway to make the controls/lights compatible with this device ? the [Razer Chroma Addressable RGB Controller] , I've been planning an Arcade build for a really long time, I just really need some help

@TheDanielSpies_Arcades 4 күн бұрын

Well, if you connect the rgb to your pc directly - this could work indeed

Thanks for the video Daniel, I have followed your guide carefully but LEDBlinky is not working when I run the LEDBlinky test I get a message that says "Use the GenLEDBlinkyInputMap app click the add LED controllerbutton, select LEDBlinky Output and a controller ID, map ports and save but when I do that it still doesn't work. I'm trying to use LEDBlinky for MAME only in Attract-Mode front end. I have the paid version and even the MAME Output Test shows nothing happening my IPACUltimateIO LED controllers are set up in the Generate LEDBlinky Input Map like in your guide. Please help I'm at a loss probably something simple I'm missing.

@TheDanielSpies_Arcades 3 күн бұрын

Attract mode frontend works differently I remember. First see if Simple LED test is showing all leds to know if the Ipac board is working / setup correctly. In Atract mode I believe you have a menu (TAB?) to enable LedBlinky. If those does not work you can contact Arzoo from LedBlinky 👍🏼
