CPWizard various issues
« on: January 13, 2013, 01:41:18 pm »
I am sure I am doing something wrong but I cannot get CPWizard to display correctly when enabled.  The best I have been able to do is get the controls to display on a second monitor.  I have tested in MAME32ui 128 and Game Ex.  I figured I should get it working in Mame before testing again in Game EX.  I shopuld say in GEx the CPWizard controls popup on the first screen but then once the game comes up it shows the game on both screens.  this is what I have done

Set Mame to use 2 screens
Screen Number = 0 ( I have tried at 1 as well)
Screen = \\Display2 (I have tried both settings)
Default for Other Options

CPWizard Options
Display
Screen = \\Display2
Subscreen
Check "Enable"
Check "Disable for Dual Screen Games"
\\Display is selected
Rest of options are set to default

I have messed with some data settings but figure I do not need to mess with that until I get the controls to popup

any ideas?
Thanks,
Rich

I disabled 2 screens in MAme and I do get the control screen to popup in the 2nd screen from Game Ex but then the game side goes black and now something like PunchOut that displayed fine in Mame goes to a black screen as well.

well I think I have it running more consistently some minor issues left if someone can help me with.

1.  First time I run Game in Game Ex the #2 screen gets the data froim CPWizard but the game does not display.  I do CTRL+ALT+Del and then go back into the game and the rest of the games play fine until a reboot.

2.  I really only want the control scheme up on the 2nd screen.  I DO NOT want it to go through the pictures and Emulator settings.  I have unchecked everything and it always goes through the same slides.  Pictures, controls, emulator settings and then controls at a better resolution.  I have tried even removing the folders to emulation info and pictures and it does no good.  All it does in the place of when those pictures are supposed to display it has a background and that is it...then the controls come up...go away and repeat.  ALL I WANT ARE THE CONTROLS TO BE STATIC

3. Dual screen games sdisaply both screens on 1 screen and then CPWizard data on 2nd screen even though I have "Disable if dual screen games are played" in options in CPWizard

Thanks to anyone.
