CPWizard v2.63 Released
TheShanMan:
Oh, I know about that, FC. I've already done all that. It was CPWizard that wasn't configured properly. Thanks though.
One thing I noticed that is unfortunate but not a huge deal is that if you get a high score, then view the hitotext table in CPW, you don't see the score. I realize it's because the .hi file isn't written until you exit mame though, so I'm sure that's something that hitotext and CPW have no control over.

We could of course add an auto save of the .hi/.nvram to the bezel patch so that it saves when you hit pause ;)
TheShanMan:
Ha ha! One of these days the bezel patch will turn into a rewrite of mame (we'll call it MameHK)! ;)
TheShanMan:
I think I found a bug with analog joystick support. I believe if you disconnect and reconnect a joystick, it doesn't work with CPWizard anymore (moving up and down through the menus). It could also be if the computer suspends and then resumes. I'm not 100% positive which it is but I believe it's the former. You may recall that I have swappable panels, so my u360's aren't always connected. After using a different panel for a while I came back to the u360 panel and now I can't move around in the menus.
Let me know if you can easily confirm this, or if I need to do a little more investigating.

Hi Headkaze-
I'm finally dipping my toes into the cold waters of control panel viewer programs. :)
Lame newbie question #1:
I went through your Quick Install Guide: http://members.iinet.net.au/~freeaxs/cpwizard/quickinstall.shtml & got stuck on step 7. When I select View/Preview, I get an empty box (see attached pic below).
In step 5, I did select my (primary) MAME Exe folder & it filled in all the rest of the lines (except Manuals, PCB, Previews, & Select), then I got the "Loading. Please wait." screen, as expected. Ideas?
Lame newbie question #2:
I have about a dozen games that run on about 4 different mame.exes, each in its own folder. I also have 2 versions of Daphne in 2 other folders. Will those games be captured in the CPWizard list?
Thank you very much,
-Jason
