CPWizard v2.63 Released
stephanh:
Hey all,
I have CP Wizard running but I'm having an issue. When I exit CP Wizard back into mame games the resolution of the game changes. It looks like the image is zoomed in quite a bit. If I hit shift+F3 to reset the game, everything looks ok after that. However it kind of defeats the purpose as I don't want to reset in the middle of a game session. Pelase help! :(
My setup:
Windows 7
mame64
d9800
arcadevga
GameEx
Also, it only seems to happen after I have run a game a couple times. The first time I run any game it's fine. If I run it again after that it screws up the resolution. Very weird.
Thanks
Stephan

Is CPWizard able to use zipped art folders (flyers, cabinets, etc.), or do the files need to be uncompressed?
Thanks.

I just posted in the Mala forum about this. Running the latest beta Mala 1.745, MAME 143, CPWizard v2.21 gave me no issues or delays. I upgraded to CPWizard 2.37 and experienced massive delays when launching CPWizard from within a MAME game. I also had a few crashes of "HiToText.exe" when launching from a few games.
I was able to uninstall v2.37 with the uninstaller, reinstall v2.21 from the original installer file, and then copy over my layout and ini files from a backup. Now I'm back to where I was originally with no delays.
Is this a known issue with Mala? I suppose I could try to completely uninstall 2.21 from my system and reinstall 2.37 from scratch, but that's a lot of work to redo my layout, etc. I installed v2.37 overtop v2.21, and then went through the options again - but maybe there was a bad config/etc from my old layout or ini files?
This is on a 2.8GHz P4, WinXP, 1gig RAM.

Can you post any more info about HiToText.exe crashing so I can report them to the author?
I'm not sure why CPW would be taking so long. It would have been helpful to post your CPWizard.log when this was occuring as it has time stamps in the log file that would show what was taking so long.
