CPWizard Question
« on: November 15, 2009, 01:15:24 pm »
CPWizard is an awesome tool. And now that the controls dat project is being working on again, it will continue to get awesomer. But I am wondering the following... I realize CPWizard gets its button label information from the controls.xml file, and reads the .cfg files from mame, right? Some games have inputs that are labeled in MAME - by this I mean they show up in the MAME config menu with names. sfrush for example lists the inputs as View 1, View 2, Track 1, etc. instead of Button1 Button2, etc. So why can't CPWizard see these input labels if there is not an entry for sfrush in controls.xml?

For now, I realize that I can use another awesome tool by Headkaze to create my own entry to the controls.xml file - but I am wondering if this is necessary or if there is another way?

You're correct CPW uses Controls.xml and reads in the ctrlr, cfg and ListInfo.xml. The ListInfo.xml file is generated by the MAME executable and contains info about every game such as number of buttons, display info, cpu etc. I use this info to guess labels by numbering them from 1 to x. The "View 1", "View 2" is probably hard coded in the driver and not info available from ListInfo.xml.

Here is the sfrush entry for example, as you can see no mention of "View x" or "Track x"..

Are there any known issues with using CPWizard on a Windows XP x64 install? I am having some weird issues, and it seems to be persistent in various combinations of CPWizard Pause and MAME Output options.

My development machine where I code and test CPW is XP 64 so it should be working fine. I haven't done as much testing on some of the new features as I had hoped but the general display and everything should work okay. You can always turn on Verbose Logging and post your log file here for me to take a look. Any more detail on the problems you're experiencing? Also the version of Mame used does make a difference and I generally test CPW the most with the latest version, although I have tested it with older versions of Mame too.

I finally had a chance to look at this issue again. It appears to be related to CPWizards interaction with MaLa. Here's what I tested last night:
Set CPWizard per this screenshot:

From MaLa launch a game and hit the "L" key to show the CP layout. The MAME window hides, briefly showing the MaLa layout window, and then CPWizrd shows its screen. Hitting the Ctrl key hides CPWizard and returns to MAME in a paused state. Great.
But when I exit the MAME game, it returns to MaLa with a blank layout - in other words the background is in front of the menus. I can hear the video playing from my MaLa menu, but can't see it until I change lists in the MaLa tree (Escape to the previous list).

So this is a MaLa issue, right? If I use the "Reorder Layouts" checkbox, it causes other problems.

Edit:
OK, strange things afoot. Here is what I am experiencing:
CPWizard set as above, but with Detect Pause checked.
MaLa NOT set to reorder layout. I launch game from MaLa, then pause MAME. MAME hides, CPWizard shows after a very brief pause. I click Ctrl to hide CPWizard, and MAME resumes (still paused). I can exit MAME and MaLa returns as described above.

Now I set MaLa to reorder layout. I launch a game, then pause MAME. MAME hieds, but this time CPWizard takes about 12-14 sec to show. When I click Ctrl, I can then exit MAME and MaLa reorganizes itself nicely. Rinse and repeat.

Now is where things get weird. I set MaLa NOT to reorder layout again. This time after MAME hides CPWizard takes 12-14 seconds to show again, but when I exit MAME I can no longer return to MaLa - although I can hear it running. I need to right-click on the window in the Taskbar and close it.

No changes were made to CPWizard between any of these attempts. So where can I begin trouble-shooting? I will try to take some video tonight to show what is going on.

First thing I would try is to update CPW to the latest version.

OK, I updated to 2.31 (was on 2.3) and the only issue remaining is the fact that it takes 12 seconds to show every time except the first time. I am using the CPW settings above except set to Detect Pause. In the video below, basically I launch a game from Mala, then pause it, then hit Ctrl to exit the CP display, then unpause MAME and exit. I repeated this three times. The first time was quick, subsequent times took 12 seconds. Also below is the log file with the verbose log turned on.

What if you set up a bunch of shortcuts to some MAME games and run them while CPW is running in the background and MaLa isn't running. Does it take time to show then?

If I launch MAME from a command line without MaLa running, it works perfectly. When I try to launch in from MaLa again I get the same results.

Should I take this over to loadman to try to troubleshoot? Did the log file give any clues where I should look? Thanks!

Sounds to me like a MaLa issue then. Hmm. It could be that MaLa is stealing focus for some reason. I'm just wondering why doesn't MaLa minimize when it launches a game? Seems silly to have it displaying in the background like that. I would ask loadman and if I need to do anything to improve compatibility let me know.

Well, I tried it in AtomicFE, and could not get it working there either (similar results - delay, and after exiting MAME it was all screwed up). And loadman doesn't use it, so I don't really have any leads on using it with MaLa. So is there another way I can use CPW so it won't have this focus issue with MaLa?
