*BUG* Ledblinky with recent game

[Mike69]

Hi

I found a bug with the integration with Ledblinky.... If I start the mame game from the platform list, everything working with ledblinky, controls.ini and colors.ini are processed correctly.  If I start the game from the recent game list of the platform (the shortcut without accessing the full platform list), the ledblinky integration does not work. The last game that was selected within the list is the actual game that ledblinky speech/animate....

Exemple: I start a mame game from the platform list, say World Class Bowling, everything is fine with ledblinky..... after I start Pac-Man from the recent items, the speech and light are still the one from World Class Bowling.... it should be Pac-Man....

I have seen this same problem using LEDBLINKY and Bigbox version 12.6.  As a workaround I had to disable recently played games in bigbox to stop it from happening.  People using my arcade machine would easily gravitate to clicking on recently played games and the wrong controls would light.
