Mamewah Support For Keywiz Max

[DreamWeb]

Any chance we might ever see uploading of new keyboard sets to the Keymax from within Mamewah?

I am under the impression that the Keywiz takes considerably longer to 'flash' than the Ipac..  but, it doesn't seem overly long to me.  Certainly not too long to wait, if this was to be included as an option.

Anyone else here think this would be a good feature?  I don't know much about programming.. but, I can't see it being too difficult to implement.

under 98/ME it's not too bad, under XP it's painfully slow (>30s) so I gave up on that feature.
you could always run the emulators from a batch file that loads the keymap as needed before launching that emulator (or game if yu have a per-game config).

I wonder why it's slower under XP than 98.. I'm sure Randy knows.  Is there some kind of workaround?

The interface to the keyboard ligtht is different in XP, you can't toggle it as fast. The software use the keyboard lights to transfer data to the keywiz (that's the only way to talk "to" a keyboard).
I'm not aware of any workaround.

Its the only way without writing a XP device driver.  Not a bad way of doing it thought...

On 98 they can do just about anything to any device.   But a real OS you have to go through the driver layor.

Could you do me a favor and put a stopwatch on that?  It shouldn't take anywhere near ">30s" under XP. 

I just timed it out under 2K (same kernal) and I get 15 seconds to program.  Only takes about 6 seconds under 98SE.
 
But you are right about the interface to the keyboard.  2K/XP is slower unless the OS is bypassed.
