CoinOps LEDBlinky Integration

This in a WIP for integrated LEDBlinbky into CoinOps.

Feel free to create a ticket about suggestions, ideas and imporvements.

Installation

Install With Compatible Hardware

Select your CoinOps version folder and drag & drop the files from launchers.windows in your CoinOps launchers.windows folder.
Drag and drop the folder plugins into your CoinOps root folder
Generate your LEDBlinkyInputMap.xml using plugins/LEDBlinky/GenLEDBlinkyInputMap.exe (check this video for more infos Instructions)
Optional: put your LEDBlinky activation keys inside plugins/LEDBlinky
Generate mame.xml: go to the folder plugins/ledblinky-integration/scripts and double click on GenerateMameXML.bat

Install Without Compatible Hardware

Select your CoinOps version folder and drag & drop the files from launchers.windows in your CoinOps launchers.windows folder.
Drag and drop the folder plugins into your CoinOps root folder
Go to folder plugins/ledblinky-integration, open config.cmd and set is_ledblinky_activated to 0

Usage

Start: double click on plugins/ledblinky-integration/scripts/StartLEDBlinky.bat (LEDBlinky will also start when you launch any game)
Stop: double click on plugins/ledblinky-integration/scripts/StopLEDBlinky.bat (you can also exit it on the "minify" [idk the real name] taskbar)

Options

You can deactivated LEDBlinky by setting is_ledblinky_activated to 0 in plugins/ledblinky-integration/config.cmd
You can change the frontend_default_animation is plugins/ledblinky-integration/config.cmd

Console Color Rules

If you have a better idea don't hesitate to create a ticket

Shoulder: White
Trigger: Brown

TODO

Update LEDBlinky version
Rewrite everything in goland ???
Find a better animation than random.lwax, it's very annoying => create a basic animation just displaying CoinOps menu buttons (shoulder or trigger to switch between letters).
Deactivate LEDBlinky voice at startup
I don't like the fact that I'm using a .bat file to save config, should be a .ini instead.
Need to find a way to start LEDBlinky when CoinOps start
Need to find a way to stop LEDBlinky when CoinOps exit
Need to test if servostick is working
Should i use only one .bat launchers instead of one per emulator? Make less script files but may loose in customisation.
