Did you see the notice about using Method 1?

Is your ctrlr file in a folder called "ctrlr" in MAME's root folder?
TheManuel:
I did see that so I set the show key to the default of "L". My MAME pause key is "P".
I'm stomped.
Yes, my controller config file is in the ctrlr folder within the MAME root folder. MAME recognizes my keys just fine. Some games appear fine in CPW but others don't. I'll try to narrow it down some more.
Necro:
Headkaze, two quick questions for you.
1. Can CPWizard detect different versions of mame running and display different layouts based on what's running? As a kludge to get around Maximus not really supporting multiple control panels well, I'd like to setup multiple versions of MAME (basically, only diff being the file name) and have it pull up a diff. layout for the current control panel that's on my cab. Let me know if this doesn't make sense.
2. EsctoKey or KeytoEsc or exit or something along those lines seems to be crashing out on me constantly. Was working fine, changed nothing now it's doing it all of a sudden. Curious if there's any know issues with Win7 that might be causing it or if it's a known bug of some kind I can try to avoid somehow. Using the recommended method to pause/show mame (with the L key as the 'show' and P for pause in mame).
TIA.
TheManuel:
I finally found why CPW won't pause MAME for me when pressing the show key. The culprit is the "multithread" MAME option. If I disable it, CPW pauses MAME without problem.
Is this a known issue?
Necro:
OK, it was HiToText that was crashing out. (Mirror cab...sorry). Anyway, I think (stress think) it's something to do with no Hiscore info being present (first run or something) of a game that should hvae a hiscore file. I stopped showing hi scores and it appears to be ok for now. Some other oddities occuring, but I'm working through them.
Still need to figure out that multi CP issue though...
