CPWizard v2.63 Released
blind_dado:
When I pause MAME it used to announce the button assignments like this:
Girl: "Player One, Button One" Guy: "Jump"
Now it doesn't do that anymore. Everything else works.
First, I'm not even sure if CPWizard is what was causing this to happen. If it is, any ideas as to why it stopped working?

Sorry I didn't get back sooner been a bit busy.
TheShanMan: Yes HiToText is included with CPW although it's not the latest version I update it everytime I release a new version. You basically need to use the hiscore diff patch (pinned topic in the software forum) and then create a "hi" folder in the Mame directory and place the hiscore.dat file (the one Fryrecrypts has attached to the HiToText topic) into Mame's root folder (ie. don't place the dat file in the "hi" folder). Unfortunately the forum is having troubles with attachements at the moment but they're working on it.
Thanks for the suggestion about analog joystick input, really great idea and I can't believe I missed that! Will definately be in the next update. I do find it annoying having to keep pushing a joystick to browse menus.
blind_dado: That feature has nothing to do with CPWizard. That sounds like PlugInLCD or LEDBlinky. So you need to find out which one your using and start a new topic related to that and I will try to help out from there.
I have a couple of features I've been promising but have been really busy with a game I'm working on with Flash for the Nintendo DS so it's kinda taken backstage a bit for now. But this project will not die anytime soon!

Ah, yes, I see now that it is the LCD/LED plugin for GameEx that has the Speak Button function feature. I'll post over in that forum.

HK, I realized why it wasn't picking up the high score stuff - when I upgraded it didn't automatically populate the "hi" and "nvram" directories, so I had to manually enter them. I'm assuming those are new directories added for hitotext. If possible, you might consider trying to auto-set them on upgrade to avoid people like me bugging you about hitotext not working. ::)
At any rate, CPW has come along quite nicely since my last update! :applaud:

The hi folder needs to be created for the hi score enabled version of MAME. The .hi files are created/modified any time you play a game that has an entry in the hiscore.dat file. There is a line in MKChamp's sticky about compiling the hi-score enabled MAME. "...and don't forget to create a sub folder under your mame directory named "hi"...that's it!"
The nvram folder is created by any version of MAME where the original game had NVRAM and therefore MAME needs to generate an nvram file.
In short, play the games, and the files will get created.
