Does the current MAME implementation of hiscore (plugin) work on all games? I have it set to 1 in the plugins.ini but it's still not saving high scores in Ms Pacman....

@drewjbx I might have something working on this. Jason gave me some direction and so far so good. Not exactly as you mentioned, showing the marquee if one exists and if not show the static image then clear logo over it.
I am testing it now and it does show a static image and then the clear logo scrolls with each game. Not promising anything as I am a novice at this coding stuff, but I do use a marquee so this is something I am interested in.
Don't want to derail the thread but just curious - what programming language is LaunchBox, et al written in?

Okay, finally some good craziness - right after typing the above the switching between 4 and 8 started working. NO idea why it wasn't before, but it seems to be working now.
I'm leaving the question, however, because I'm still curious why other methods are being used other than the built in LED Blinky functionality. Are the other methods more reliable?
Thanks again.

Hi.
I'm new to LaunchBox (previously using HyperSpin) and I'm trying to get everything set up correctly.
My current issue is that my ServoStik isn't changing from 4 to 8 (and 8 to 4) when the appropriate game loads in MAME.
I've searched the forums and have seen several suggestions such as compiling a AHK script as well as creating a batch file.
Is this still necessary for LaunchBox?
I know that you can now set up LED Blinky in LB which I have done. The lights appear to be working correctly.
Also, in LED Blinky, there is a section to set up control of the ServoStik which was working in HyperSpin. Does LaunchBox not send the necessary information to LED Blinky at the time the game starts in order for this to work?
I've also seen mention of going into each game and setting up 8 vs 4 way controls but I'm also confused by that - it's my understanding that LED Blinky will read the controls.ini file, determine whether the game is 4 vs 8 and automatically adjust the joystick.
Does this functionality not work when using LaunchBox? The functionality seems built into LED Blinky, so I'm confused why people are having to set this up manually in LaunchBox.
Sorry for all the questions - I'm just trying to determine where compatibility is currently between LaunchBox, LED Blinky, and ServoStik.
Thanks

Is there any way yet to get other information to show on the marquee (second screen) such as high scores, etc?
