I don't need to decode it if I don't use the 4511, I realize now I can just send the direct values to the 74595 and it'll work properly. This way I avoid converting to BCD and needing the 4511 but I thought it'd be the proper way to use 7Segs.
And using the 74595 to expand my I/O capabilities and because then I can send the values received in from MAME straight to the chip, no conversion needed.
