Pinmame output to Logitech G15 LCD screen

Long time ago I purchased a Logitech G15 keyboard which has a LCD screen where some programs and games output extra info or data on it.

I'm a big fan of pinball machines, so I though it could be cool to output Pinmame (a pinball machines emulator) to the LCD.

After some Googling, I found nothing but a post where someone asked for the same think with no luck. Without thinking twice I Googled again and found the Logitech LCD Software Development for the G series, and after some hours I had some pixels out on the keyboard's LCD.

Some hours later, first recognizable forms appeared on the LCD, and that for me was a victory.

Below a proof of concept (there are some timming issues with gradients) using Williams Indiana Jones pinball machine ROM, which I own. Nice machine by the way.

Sorry for releasing this after so long time, I should have been done before...

  1. Thanks for the post. I'll download the Logitech Gaming Software and see how interface it with PinMame.
