Title: help with cpwizard and hyperspin?
Post by: shateredsoul on September 03, 2010, 04:23:45 pm

I'm using the following code to launch cpwizard and the control panel layout (the image with all the buttons labeled)

My issue is that when I launch a game, it shows the controls then it returns back to hyperspin  then launches mame. Is there a way to have it launch the mame game without coming back to the hyperspin wheel?

I asked this question here too, but non one really responded, probably because I thought I had fixed the issue but not really. I was hoping some experts here might know whether the issue was cpwizard or my script. The person that posted the solution to this seemed to not have this issue.

Code: [Select]

else if (systemName = "MAME" && executable = "mame.exe")
{
hideDesktop()
Hotkey, %exitEmulatorKey%, CloseProcess
RunWait, "I:\Program Files (x86)\CPWizard\CPWizard.exe" -emu "%systemName%" -game "%romName%" -timeout 9000
Runwait, %executable% %romName%, %EmuPath%, Hide UseErrorLevel
Process, WaitClose, %executable%
WinActivate, HyperSpin
exitapp
}
}

I have HyperSpin on my cab and just recently began to tinker with CPWizard.  I have the same exact problem.  HyperSpin launches, I select a game, the CPWizard shows the control panel layout, then it goes back to the HyperSpin wheel for about 2 - 3 seconds then the game launches.  I originally thought it wasn't working at all.  When I saw the HyperSpin wheel I kept exiting thinking I had set it up wrong.  After checking and rechecking my script I launched a game and after it came back to the wheel I left it alone.  That's when I saw it actually launch the game. 

I don't like the way it cycles back before launching the game.  I am not sure if this is the only way to get it to work or if there is a fix.  I created a post on the HyperSpin-fe forums, but have not received any replies.

Please post if you figure it out.

Thanks

this worked for me, chillinwater at the hyperspin forum provided it, just make sure the directory matches where you have cpwizard.exe

else if (systemName = "MAME" && executable = "mame.exe")
{
hideDesktop()
Hotkey, %exitEmulatorKey%, CloseProcess
Run, "I:\Program Files (x86)\CPWizard\CPWizard.exe" -emu "%systemName%" -game "%romName%" -timeout 9000
sleep, 8000
Gui +AlwaysOnTop -Caption +ToolWindow
Gui, color, 0
Gui Show, x0 y0 h%A_ScreenHeight% w%A_ScreenWidth%,
Runwait, %executable% %romName%, %EmuPath%, Hide UseErrorLevel
sleep,1000
gui destroy
Process, WaitClose, %executable%
WinActivate, HyperSpin
exitapp
}
