So how do we add this to Launchbox?

Yes, Ultimarc Ipac will work great. I use two Ultimates on my 4 player pedestal. Here is the best setup tutorial.

Great looking setup! I need to see if I can program these assignable COB LED lights on the T-Molding. I'm also doing something similar to your cabinet. I'm building a dual screen 50" cabinet. I just got it from the CNC shop.

I will give that a go. Also....Is there a place we can share each others LEDBlinky files? I can't imagine having to program 10,000+ games. This would make things much quicker. I figured if we all had the same iPAC input assignments, this would make things much easier.

I also noticed your JOYSTICK_1 is assign as ENTER. Why is that?

Yep, you are correct. I figured it out. Your youtube video was a life saver. I have only one issue. I can't seem to get my RGB joystick to light different colors at one time. You select common/ CONTROL_JOY8WAY then choose a color. Under the <Default> for player 1 thru 4, there is no option to select JOYSTICK_1 and color. All four joysticks will be the selected COMMON/ CONTROL_JOY8WAY color. There is no option under the Player 1 thru 4 tabs to assign a JOYSTICK color.

My <Default> MAME buttons are all over the place and not in the order they where programmed in the input manager

I have built many pedestals but really never got to keep one for myself as they all sell pretty quick. This is the build I'm keeping. This is one of two builds. My next build is a dual 50" LCD cabinet. Instead of the small LCD marquee on top, I'm using an additional 50" LCD screen. I already had the cabinet CNC cut and just waiting to get this pedestal built.

Will this fix help the random freezing of BigBox on starup? Wheels populate then freezes. Have to restart then everything is good. Does it on average 1 in 10 times. Also, is there a fix for attraction mode freezing after a couple of hours in use?

You are 100% correct. BigBox is heavy in resources and my biggest complaint is it's so SLOW! Although not as feature packed, look at frontends like RetroFE (Type R) and Coinops. Front ends are fluid and snappy. Videos & art switch almost immediately when in the game selection menu. BigBox has a very noticeable wait time.
