I'm having trouble getting LEDBlinky working with Launchbox and RetroArch. In Launchbox I have selected the Enable LEDBlinky option, which didn't work. I then added it to the "Open Application" list when BigBox starts, and it doesn't start LEDBlinky there either. I also am unable to get it to recognize when games are opened through RetroArch. I know this is a Launchbox forum, but I'm just trying to get SOMETHING to work. I'm having the hardest time finding tutorials or guides online for either of these applications. Any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a 2 player layout with 8 buttons for each player and a Utrak trackball (these are already cut on the control panel). The panel also has a spot for 4 other buttons. I plan on putting "coin buttons" on the front side of the control panel box. My question is - how should I map these buttons? What other buttons should i set - we also have a spinner that we need to place. Where would be the best place for that? This control panel was pre-made btw.
