--- Quote from: DP Louie on February 04, 2008, 09:35:35 am ---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!

I'm not sure why some menu options are not showing but I'd like to fix this. Any chance you can do some experiments for me to help me locate the problem?
The best thing to do is to go into C:\Program Files\CPWizard and drag the CPWizard.exe over using the right mouse button then select "Create Shortcuts Here" Then rename the shortcut from "Copy of CPWizard" to something like "1942". Then right-click the shortcut and select Properties. Now under target you can add in command line options to test.
Eg.
"C:\Program Files\CPWizard\CPWizard.exe" -mode mainmenu -emu mame -game 1942 -show
"C:\Program Files\CPWizard\CPWizard.exe" -mode mainmenu -emu mame -game sf2 -show
Then double clicking on the shortcut will launch the CPWizard with those options.
What I need you to do is help me locate in what circumstance the menu items do not show. Because right now with all my testing I can not reproduce the problem. Also when the problem occurs can you check your CPWizard.log file for any errors. Post your results here. If you can help me track down the bug I will fix it :)

Okay, I deleted the cpwizard.log file (so that it would create a new one) then I typed the following in from the windows command line prompt: cpwizard.exe -mode mainmenu -emu mame -game 1942 -show. The main menu came up fine, the control panel looks fine as does the artwork, but the game info, mame info, and scoring screens were all blank. Attached is the .log file. Thank you for your patience and help - much appreciated! This isn't a huge problem, just an annoying one!

Yep if there is an "ERROR @ ..." entry in the CPWizard.log there is definately a bug and it needs to be reported here so I can track it down and fix it :)
I think I've fixed the bug in Version 1.61. Can you try that and let me know how you go?
DP Louie:
Thanks Headkaze! Works perfectly now! One more small gripe and I'll leave you alone ;) - when scrolling thru the menu or the game history screens, is there any way to make the highlight bar scroll repeatedly when you hold the appropriate key? The way its set now the highlight bar only moves one position up or down with each bump of the joystick, I'd like to be able to hold the stick down (or up) and scroll repeatedly. Again, many thanks for the continual updates!
TeutonicDarkness:
Can someone confirm this works correctly with
Mame 122, and 123?
Considering an update but want to make sure.
Thanks,
