Okay... I think I see the first part.

The name of the LAY file you have... esq2by16.lay... is just the name for the internal source for the LAY file for MAME.

I'm going to assume you are testing this as external artwork for now, to see that everything works? (Before you submit a source change?)

To use this as external artwork:
-- rename it to "default.lay"
-- add it to zip file named "sq1.zip", and put that in the \artwork folder of your MAME directory (assuming defaults).

I'm playing with it right now, and all of the buttons "do stuff." I don't know all about how this keyboard works yet, but all of the LEDs do something different for each button I click.

Also, make sure you are in Windowed mode, to use the mouse arrow to click buttons.

To answer your other questions... I think it is because the driver is incomplete (marked "MACHINE NOT WORKING").

Side note... just noticed... the button for "ROM/INT SELECT -" is hiding under the fifth row of LEDs, the way the layout is currently structured.



RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
