CPWizard v2.63 Released
DP Louie:
This program is great, and it just keeps getting better with each update! Hands down the best CP viewer! With that said.... is there any way to get the full menu to display when using the command line? I can get the individual menu selections to work via the -mode option, but I would like to have the CPWizard main menu come up. The reason I ask is because I am trying to configure the program to work from Mala BEFORE the game is launched. Thanks!

I don't know why I didn't document this but you can show the menu by using
CPWizard.exe -mode mainmenu -show
so to show the Main Menu for the Mame game 1942, you would use
CPWizard.exe -mode mainmenu -emu mame -game 1942 -show
Please note that you made me realize there was a bug when showing the main menu that wouldn't allow you to exit back to the menu after selecting a menu item. This is fixed in Version 1.6.

Thanks for the update. I have it working and showing the main menu, however only Control Panel and Artwork show the correct files. Game Info, Game History, and Mame Info show a blank screen. After some experimentation, it shows a blank screen for these same categorys even when using -mode gameinfo, etc. It must not be getting the rom name passed to it for these? Just a guess. Or am I missing something. I tryed checking the "Enable dynamic data loading" box, but it didn't help. Thanks again

Show me the command line your using. You have to send the ROM name. If your using Mala I think it looks like this
--- Code: ---CPWizard.exe -mode mainmenu -emu mame -game %rom% -show
--- End code ---
DP Louie:
Yes, thats the exact line I am using. I've also tried it with the "-mode mainmenu" at the end of the command line and I get the same results. Something strange that happens is when I first boot the cab, CPWizard works perfectly before you launch a game (although there is a slight delay in bringing up the menu). Then, when you launch a game and try to bring up CPWiz, nothing happens. If I exit Mala to windows and then restart Mala, I get my original problem again (CPWiz works great during a game, but has blank info screens if run before a game). Thanks for your help!
