CPWizard v2.63 Released
Tiger-Heli:
On second thought - (More to HK)
I haven't tested it yet - but since you have it so configurable anyway ...
Why not have a Checkbox for "Use MAME Output System (For MAME 0.112 and up)" and a box for "Detect MAME Window Title Name (For MAME below 0.112)" and have both checked by default.
As a developer (which I'm not) - I would want this. It would work with all MAME versions, users could disable the portions they don't need, and you wouldn't get a bunch of E-mails saying "I'm running MAME 0.36 and CPW doesn't work with it".
Just my (latest) thoughts ...

Hi,
is there a way to use CPWizard with rotating monitors? According to the game, I put my Monitor horizontal or vertical (automatically in my Cab).
Mala switches orientation depending on the game information from Mame. But the only way I found to switch the CPWizard orientation ist in the options...
If there is no automatic way, at least a KeyCommando would help...
Any idea???
Thank you very much,
Berzerk
TheShanMan:
That reminds me... this is a minor gripe. I have a vertically oriented monitor, and CPWizard stretches text and images because it assumes a horizontal orientation. So this stuff looks tall and skinny - menus, info screen, etc. It certainly isn't terrible, but I wonder if one of these days you could add better handling for screens other than 4:3, headkaze?
Berzerk:
Well, that's tru also, but I could live with that when I would be able to switch between vertical and horizontal while mame or mala is running... it's comfortable to go to options everytime on an arcade cab nor it's comfortable to turn your head by 90° :-)))
Well, however, did I miss something, is there a possibility already? If not, would you please be so kind and consider to take that into developement????
I'm begging because CPWizard is so good and useful :-)
Thank you very much,
Berzerk

I have another idea:
If someone would be able to write a little script that looks for the rotation info in the ./data/listinfo.xml and depending on that info woul change the value of to "rotate=" value in the CPWizard.ini.
Then someone could just enter the scriptname in Mala instead of the executable of the control panel viewer and CPWizard should always show the same orientation as the game...
Unfortunately I don't have the skills to do that. I tried it with a batch file, but batch can't handle XML really good...
thank you,
Berzerk
