Title: How do you setup CPViewer with MAMEwah 1.52??
Post by: arcadecab on January 06, 2005, 09:27:55 pm

I had CPviewer working really well with MAMEwah 0.97, but after the big upgrade, there is no longer a specific CPviewer line to direct to the .exe.  How exactly do you add CPviewer to the new versions of MAMEwah?  Anyone?
Thanks.

app_1_executable                 c:\cpviewer\cpviewer.exe         
app_1_commandline_format [name] -clone [cloneof]

Then use the LAUNCH_APP_1 shortcut to launch it, and/or set auto_launch_apps 1.

Could you expand on this. Which file, and which section - thanks.

I've just started to try to get CP Viewer working. I beleive I have the CP Viewer side configured correctly, but get stuck at the bit where it says - now configure your front end to launch CPViewer (MameWah in my case).

In the ini folder, in your mame.ini file it should look like this:

### External Application Settings ###
ipc_file_or_path                         
app_1_executable                          c:\cpviewer\cpviewer.exe
app_1_commandline_format                  [name] -clone [cloneof]
app_2_executable
app_2_commandline_format                 
app_3_executable                         
app_3_commandline_format                 
auto_launch_apps

You can have a look at all my emulator ini files by using the link on my downloads page at http://home.comcast.net/~cpviewer

Good Luck,
