CPWizard v2.63 Released
Marak:
I am having a blast making my (Several) Layouts. ;D
As I understand it, and please correct me if I'm wrong.
If you have a real trackball, you should get rid of the Dec and Inc settings in mame.
However, this seems to make the MOUSECODE_1_LEFT ect... not show up
in the CPWizard display.

Headkaze, in an upcoming version do you think you could make the export settings remembered between sessions? There are so many options I have to change every time, that I'm always worried that I'll get one wrong accidentally (and I just did).
Also, do you remember that problem I occasionally have where the label links get messed up? It just occurred to me today that rather than checking the links one by one by viewing the properties window, I can just turn on the link lines. It would be helpful if "design mode" could show link lines but not show the lines when creating the output (bezel or live). What do you think?

Hi,
I am running CPWizzard 1.84 and MAME 0.126. My issue is that buttons 5 and 6 on Player 2 side will not show up, I am using the Default MAME layout and have set MAME to user I and K for those buttons, but when for example I load SF2 Buttons 5 and 6 are greyed out, and it also doesn't show the label for group 6.
I made sure to remove I and K from the player 3 controls but still nothing. I can't work out what I am doing wrong.
Cheers,
Beau

I also have a question regarding Memory usage, if I set CPWizard to load at startup when I check taskmanager it is using a whopping 97Mb, if I double click on the button on the taskbar to open the main window and then minimise it again it sits between 2 - 3Mb. Any idea why it's using that much RAM when it first loads and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks Again,
Beau

If labels aren't showing there is usually some reason for it. Check over your default.cfg and sf2.cfg files. Delete them and set the keys again in Mame. Restart CPWizard so it will read in the data again.

Yes CPWizard can use a fair amount of Memory on boot up. It has a lot of data to read. I tried to minimize that using the "Dynamic Data Loading" option which might help, but it does mean displaying the menu can be slower because the data is read dynamically. If you really are concerned about memory usage and you only want to display your CP in Mame, consider using the Export Bezel feature which will mean you don't need to run CPWizard at all to view your CP in Mame as it is overlayed using a bezel.

I just installed and configured this fantastic piece of software on my arcade cabinet tonight. Everything is working except for one thing. When I pull up the main menu in certain games, the screen goes blank. I have to alt-tab to the CPWizard processes and kill them with alt-f4. Then I go back to the game, hit escape, and then close my FE. Amazingly enough, CPWizard is still in the taskbar after all this! I can duplicate this issue in standalone mode also. For example, pacman works fine, but blazlaz gives me a blank screen. There are errors in my log file. I'm wondering if you can tell what is going on.
