CPWizard v2.63 Released

<< < (8/145) > >>

Lakersfan:
That fixed it. It works like a champ. Thanks buddy...

urbecrisch:
Great program Headkaze!  Just started messing around with it.  One quick question (I'm sure more to come!)

When I press the "L" default button to bring up CP WIZ, the game does not pause in the background.  I tried messing with some of the Mame settings in CP WIZ but I can't seem to figure out how to pause the game and see the CP only.  I know you said this can be done but can you explain the process to me.

I want to be able to pause Mame with "P" and bring up CP view only.  Then pressing "P" again will shut off CP view and unpause game.  Thanks again for a great product.

Lakersfan:
I think this is what I did...

Edit -> Options -> Input tab   Change "Show Key" to 'P' and '"Back Key" to 'P' as well.

Lakersfan:
Also, here's my Mame settings... Detect Pause is checked.

headkaze:
It's all depends on the version of Mame your using as to what method you can use in CPWizard. It does detect the Mame version when you give it the Mame exe and configure the options to suit the version.

Here are the basic versions of interest.

Mame 0108 - Mame Output System introduced.. but..

Mame 0122u2 - Pause was added to the Mame Output System. This means from this version CPWizard can detect pause and show the CP. Versions before this require a button assigned (default "L") to show the CP. You can then "Send the Pause Key" to send the 'P' key to pause before minimizing Mame.

Mame 118 - The new Raw Input System is introduced meaning you can't send keys to Mame. So the "Send the Pause Key" option no longer works after this version. But if your using 0122u2+ then you should be using the Mame Output System anyway.
