This version of MAME has been modified for communication with DOFLinx to enable the use of cabinet toys via DOF.
 
When setup with DOFLinx this version of MAME will support use of the standard output messages for things like player 1 and player 2 buttons and knockers.  The special part that makes the magic happen are the modifications to get real time messaging happen between MAME and DOFLinx.
 
The DOFLinx specific stuff is:

• Messaging of pause to drive button illumination and other actions
• Messaging of cheat on / off to drive button illumination and other actions
• Real-time communication of game scores so that toys (flashers, solenoids, knocker, shaker, etc) along with addressable (MX) LEDs.  This brings games to life with arcade cabinet activity when both individual and milestone scores are reached.

So far a few hundred games (MAME and NES) have been setup to work via DOFLinx MAME configuration files. 
 
Read the stickies and guides on how to set all of this up.  If you get stuck post in the forum.
 
Note, I will not be producing a DOFLinx MAME version for every MAME version released.  I will do it periodically or if major changes occur.  Also, this will only be done for the 64bit version.
