Hi Howard.

I have downloaded and have tried your Johnny 5 application.

It seen there are only joycode up to 10, and not 32. Because of this, I can not use your application, wich may been great to work with my frontend. Im using GP-Wiz49 interface, that use a game controller, and not keyboard as interface.

It would been a much finer to aviable to remap with keypress to prevent this list too been long. Otherwice, just expand the list to 32 buttons, but shrink to 4 joysticks instead (I have not seen a homecabinet with more than 4 players anyware).

Best regaards

Read the readme.txt.  J5 supports as many joystick buttons as you want, I just didn't add them in the "keycode constants.txt" file in teh data files folder.  Add em yourself.   :)
Space Fractal:
hm, ok.

There was just no info about joycode and keycode constants.txt in readme or in docs (could not find it). It would been fine if you split readme.txt about changes in a new file, and maybe move this file in the docs folder as well.

So....

Hmm, in beta 2.5, File/Open do not work at all? All it does is... look in the screen shot.

[EDIT]
This is a floating point problem, I saw in Mameroom control config application as well. I cant manage Visual Basic have trouble to convert these strings automatic.

We use comma in EU to floats and not a dot as you does in US. This cause the bug, as you can se in the lof file.
[/EDIT]
Howard_Casto:
Well yes, I see the problem.  Figuring out how to fix it though, might be difficult.  See the float number is generated automatically upon print out, internally upon view the number isn't turnicated.  I suppose I can manually edit the text back, but then I need to assure that none of the values stored in the file never actually need a comma. (Probably unlikely). 

In the meantime, using notepad.exe to replace all commas with decimal points should make it viewable. 

So the layouts are showing up when a game is displayed though?  Man that's wierd.
