Pretty dang handy.

Right - Basically you feed it a gamename and it shows a picture of YOUR panel and tells you that "In Game Y, you have 2 player mode, they alternate, it uses an 8-way joystick and when you press the Yellow button, the plane will loop."
Thanks for the plug, Mahuti -
http://www.mameworld.net/tigerheli/johnny/ (covers ways to use it), and
http://www.mameworld.net/tigerheli/johnny/setup.htm (covers how to get it working).
I'll probably revise the first page to specify what it acutally does. . .
Update: Added a "Background and History" section to the main page.

Is there a way to make it exit on any key rather than a specific one?
I think cpviewer or cpvw has an option like that where you set the exit keycode to 0 to mean "any".
If I launch johnny before launching the game, I want to make it as easy as possible to dismiss it and start playing, by moving the joystick in any direction for example.

Nope, and it's not going to happen. You see cpviewer only displays the image and that's it. It doesn't need input. J5 does a lot of other things and input is requried. (Toggle key, navigation in command.dat, ect)

is this documented anywhere? I saw you can enter a toggle key but I'm not sure what it does, I tried it and got some error (can't remember what off hand).
