CPWizard v2.63 Released

Just thought I would reply to this PM so everyone can read it
--- Quote from: Ginsu Victim on February 08, 2009, 06:03:38 pm ---I was just wondering if there was any progress that I may have missed on having CPwizard show the control panel on a separate display. I want to start a game and have it load the CP layout on a small tv next to my cab, without having to push a button to do so. Is this possible?

It is definately on the cards, I was thinking about it today actually. It's going to be in the next release. It might be a week or so before I get around to it though.
Another feature on the cards is multiple layouts per game, so you can move the joystick left or right to scroll through multiple layouts. This should cater for people with large CP's or like to have a screen for several parts of their CP (Eg. Trackball, Player 1, Player 2, Lightgun etc.)
So yeah got a few things lined up for next release. Stay tuned!

Thanks for the reply!

Headkaze, would you so be so very kind and write or link me to a quick tutorial on how to add a new layout and designate it for a specific EMU in CPW? I had been only using Mame with CPW (and Hyperspin FE) but I just added Future Pinball on my cab and plan on adding a few more EMU's. I'm not sure where to place the new finished layout so when I pause it will show me the layout for the EMU I'm currently using.

This kind of goes along with urbecrisch question above...
Is it possible to use CPWiz on multiple versions of mame?
I am running mame 127 for most games but am also using Fastmame95 for the troublesome games limited by my PC (all this is also within Hyperspin).
I can't figure out though, how to get CPwiz to work on the Fastmame95 (mame.95) games...tried working with the profiles but can't get cp wiz to show at all on the the other version of mame ...(and don't know if I am doing the profiles corectly)
Thanks!

HK, believe it or not I'm toying with the idea of running CPW for everything but the CP, and using the bezels for the CP because of my preference for the bezels. :o So I'm thinking of having the menu appear with a different key.
1 question and 1 problem:
Question: I see you added support for firecrypt's high score app, but it's not clear to me how to configure it. I thought perhaps you were actually including a copy of the app with the cpw installer, but I'm not seeing that menu item show up. I might have missed it, but how do I configure this? I haven't ever used the app before but figured this was a good excuse to try it out.
Problem: Using an analog joystick to scroll game info and mame info screens requires you to press, release, press, release. In other words, there's no "repeat" like there is if you're using the down key. Would be nice if I could just hold the joystick down for continual scrolling.
Nice work though! Due to my cab dropping off of my network, I hadn't updated since 1.91 I think, so lots of new goodies. :applaud:
