I'll try to put one together tonight and put it on my Sigbits site.
I sent an email to KLOV people asking to use information from their website. If I get their ok, it should only take me a few hours to get the lcd files done....and posted on my site pending their permission. If I can't get permission from them I'll have to find another source.

: How about a tutorial on how you got it working with ArcadeOS? I'm still confused on what you did.
: Anyways, there has been talks on the Mame message board a few days ago, about making such a file, but noone has yet.(With over 2 thousand games it's kinda hard)
: : I bought a matrix orbital serial LCD. Mounted it, plugged it in to my serial port (discovered that com1 is com2 and com2 is really com1 as marked on my case) I set the serial speed, edited the arcadeos config file and then used a hex editor to write a file that spews out some settings and a clear command. Added some text to the file and saved it with the appropriate name. Works as advertised. I just need to figure out how to get the content. I don't want to enter it by hand so it would be nice to find a dat file or database that I can pull the info from and spew out lcd files.
