Question about Touchplay in combination with MFME.

[VenumX]

HI guys!

Firstly i wanted to say , thanks to the developers for making Touchplay!! really , really nice front end!!🥰

I use it mainly in my newly created DesertIslandFruits MFME Cabinet..... (picture below)

But i had a small question... :

Is it possible when on the main menu to light up 3 buttons for left , right and enter ?

In my case its the utmost left , utmost Right and middle button on the control panel...

+ Is it also possible when a layout is selected that those 3 buttons stop lighting up and MFME takes over ?

I am working with Pac-drives....

(everything in the pictures is homemade, in case someone is wondering,... coinpushers, clawmachines,.. everything. )

 

Thanks for reading! 😃

 

Greetings VenumX

I'm not an expert in touch play, but I'll do my best to help you out. Are you trying to use DOF to light things up?

If so, I think you can do that right in the DOF configuration tool on the VPU website. Just make sure both the DOF plugin and the DOF configuration are installed and turned on.

Likely this will have to be configured via MFME. I just did a brief "bing" search and came up with the following:

Ensure your PAC drive is properly connected to your MFME cabinet. You may need to configure the PAC drive settings within MFME to recognize it

• You can control button lighting with a PAC drive. Load a game in MFME, enter edit mode, and configure the button settings to light up the desired buttons. 
• MFME-Light-Control with Pacdrive - EMULATOR Help & Advice - Fruit-Emu.

No whenever I choose a Fruitmachine layout , MFME is handling all the LED instructions , it's just whenever I am OUTSIDE of MFME , so inside touchplay main menu , going from left to right when choosing a layout that I want 3 buttons to light up so it's easier to see the buttons I am using, and also for people who are not used to play on these cabinets.

Sorry I don't know what DOF and VPU means....

My MFME layouts are playing perfectly , so all my buttons light up perfectly  when playing fruitmachines , it's just that when I'm not playing and I am inside the main menu of touch play going from.left to right to choose a layout I would like my left , right and enter button to light up so it's a little bit easier to choose in my dark environment....

 

Any tips how to set that up ?

Is there a program that I can run together with touchplay for lighting up these buttons and when I choose a Fruitmachine layout to play that program just closed when touchplay is accessing MFME ?

 

I can't explain any better I'm sorry.

Gotcha! Since Touchplay is derived from PinballX, you should be able to install LEDBlinky plugin. Here is the link to the LEDBlinky site.
