Title: How to reload controls.ini to CPWizard after adding more game info?
Post by: Snakesnsparklers on October 11, 2014, 07:54:46 pm

I am using Mala to launch Groovymame and have CPWizard set up to display the controls for a few seconds upon launching a game. I noticed Primal Rage does not have any info in controls.ini so it just says buttons 1-4 instead of High Fierce, High Quick, etc. I created a new entry in controls.ini for primal rage but CPWizard does not seem to be loading it. I have restarted the computer, refreshed the game list in Mala and it won't load the new control info for Primal Rage. How do I force CPWizard to "refresh" the controls.ini file so it will display what I have added to it?

Close CPWizard and edit CPWizard.ini removing the MAME version.

ie.

Code: [Select]

[Mame]
Version=
Then relaunch CPWizard.

I just tried the above and it didn't work. I rebooted the computer, and now when loading Mala I get the message "Error reading game list file xxxx" and no games are shown. The option in Mala to refresh the game list is also greyed out so I can't play anything at the moment.

edit: I was able to refresh the game lists by deleting them manually and forcing Mala to reload so they are working again, but the Primal rage controls.ini info is still not loading.
