So I'm an odd ball huh?
Tell ya what, when I get to the point that I'm ready, I will get back w/ ya on the vpin stuff, and we will see where we can go with it.
: My FE supports pc games... it supports anything via the extras list.
: As for the arcade high-scores request..... That's a very, very oddball suggestion. High score display I can see, but high score exported to a lcd display is a very specialized request. Perhaps you should work on getting support for that yourself. I have been looking into lcd output for v pin mame though, but it wouldn't have anything to do with the fe itself.

: : Does anyones fe have support for PC games? I dunno, my 'puter is on its last leg, needs to be reformatted acutally, no sense trying to test while it is in its current state. No harm in gathering info though.
: : I think it would be keen to play some Warcraft and Diablo w/ an arcade trackball.
: : Can you use the Guncon w/Mad Dog Mcree on a PS2? or am I stuck using the remote control or gamepad?
: : : I got my PS2 (no flames from fanboys pls!)
: : : I have a question for the FE writers. Is support to output high scores/game stats to a file or the serial port so I can hook up an lcd or led display. I think it would be cool to have a scrolling marquee w/ that info on it. Maybe you could have the FE "copy" the info to another file each time a game is initiallized, then have the info read by a device hooked up to the serial port.
: : : If its already been done, let me know. The only thing I similar I read was about daphne that had a HUD/banner of some sort.
: : : Enjoy your holiday...I am at work :(
