Twinkling lights in my mega drive

[highlandcattle]

Hi,
I recently got a clear mega drive shell. And I wanted to instal extra leds in there that react to the signals on the motherboard. But basically I have no experience in this sort of field. How would I go a bout finding "blinking signals"? Just try with a couple of connections on the board and see how it goes from there or does anybody has a better idea?

If it were me I would just sync them to the audio signal. Should be really easy since there are so many LED music controllers out there.

All the signals are far too fast. Even the once-per-frame stuff would blink at 60hz - essentially looking like always on. Getting ethernet-style blinkies would require processing power in addition to just leds.

A "saving" led may be possible, one that would light up whenever the game is reading or writing a save.

I recommend doing what Axel suggested. There’s probably many guides out there to do such a thing.

I have a mouse on my PC, that changes colors according to the beat of certain games. It goes crazy with DOOM Eternal.

Another option would be using an LED hub.

Thanks guys. One step further!
