Post by: -jp- on December 18, 2017, 06:26:12 am
Hey guys. Not sure what I'm looking for exists, but swear I saw it on here. What I'm looking to do is addd a small screen to my arcade that will display the button layout for the game selected. I swear there was a project in here ,that was a Nintendo/squared vewlix build, were they guy had a setup like that. Any help wouldn't be appreciated!  Thanks.  :cheers:

Sounds like the software you're looking for is either headkaze's CPWizard (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,74091.0.html) with stigzler's CPWizBiz (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,144734.0.html) or Howard's MAME Hooker (http://dragonking.arcadecontrols.com/static.php?page=aboutmamehooker).

The build you mention is probably zerohex's Project NESFlix (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,148400.0.html).
I think we can finally chalk this up as complete other than software tinkering and adding games here and there.

There are a number of other builds that use a secondary display, such as RxBrad's Avengerless Avenger (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,143056.0.html).
