CPV2 support in Mala???

(1/3) > >>

BamBam:
I have seleted the option to use Control Panel Viewer 2 (CPV2) as my panel viewer in Mala.  I have navigated Mala to the CPV2.exe file, but whenI load a game, I get a "Syntax error" and I don't have a Control Panel displayed.
Any ideas?

I am not familiar with Mala and the exact syntax it sends to external applications. I am the author of CPV2 and will help any way I can. If the author of Mala chimes in with the correct syntax I will verify the CPV2 works and if modifications are needed I will take the required actions.

I do remember briefely investigating AtomicFE and MaLa and seem to remember it looked like it should work quite easily.

From the MaLa FAQ:


--- Quote ---Does MaLa work with CPViewer?

Yes, MaLa works with CPViewer, CPMaker and Johnny5. Also with the additional MaLa Hardware MaLa can light up the used buttons for each game and shows the functions of the controls on a LCD.

Well, I have MaLa setup and am able to launch Mame games. However, I can't get the control panel viewer settings OR the external applications setting to do anything. THe syntax required by CPV2 is like so:

cpv2.exe -r=dkong

the variable used by MaLa is %rom%. However when I try to set up an external application and use the setting:

cpv2.exe -r=%rom%

I get nothing. If I leave the parameter off the end and just run the exe then it launches CPV2 and you get my default error, so it will run the executable properly, it just doesn't send the rom name, at least by the method I am trying.

I also tried the Control Panel viewer settings with a commandline of -r=%rom% at if I check the box to display the viewer before game launch it does work.
