--- Quote from: greaser on February 19, 2007, 02:18:26 pm ---I'm extrememly confused here. I'd like to use a program that displays what the buttons do in mame games (Fire,jump,punch,kick,etc). I guess Cpviewer is the program that can do this. Can anyone please tell me everything I'd need to get this working? I just don't understand it at all. I have the xml file somewhere that contains all the controls for just about every rom out there but what do I do next? Is there a tutorial somewhere or a configurator that can help me? I'd appreciate any help. I've tried to run cpviewer before and got nowhere. Very confusing. Thanks guys.

It has its own controls.ini file that contains the controller actions such as fire, jump, etc that it uses to populate the controller picture labels

Well for starters I need to design my own control panel based off the one that's on my cab correct? Any tips on how to approach this?

Ok, for Mala you go to the Control Panel Viewer tab, and put in the path to your executable (C:\emulators\cpv2\CPV2.exe or whatever) then for the command line is should look like this:

-r=%rom% -c=%parent%

greaser: If you don't have Photoshops skills just take a picture with a digital camera of your joystick + buttons and use that. Personally I only show player 1 controls, it let's things be nice and big and clear, since 9 times out of 10 if it's a 2 player game the second player's controls are just the same.

Thanks!  I'll give it a shot!

I know others have used this and J5 fine with MaLa.

When you get it running can you PM me what details you ended up using and I can update the Wiki on CP set-ups using mala..

Thanks
