Ok, the I-Pac can come with the LED harness that mimics the num lock, caps lock and scroll lock lights and I realize that MAME is set up to simulate these in some games. But, other than the early Atari games, where if you coin in 1 or 2 times it will start the num lock and caps lock flashing to indicate 1 or 2 player start, what other things do they indicate in other games? I was especially wondering about the scroll lock. What does it simulate? Third player start in some games?

You see, I've ordered the I-Pac with the led harness and I was going to use the num lock and caps lock over the player one and player two start buttons on my console (yes, what was once a simple trackball project with three simple buttons has escalated into a full blown 2nd console [have a Hotrod already] with tb, spinner, 3 sticks and multiple buttons...thanks, arcadecontrols.com! :p). Anyway, I'm just wondering what the smartest use for the lights would be?

As always, thanks for any info! :)
