CPV2 support in Mala???

<< < (3/3)

There was a post recently about this topic

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=62014.0

To summarize:

You can launch CP Viewer properly before a game starts if you are happy that it will substitute the Info Window (If you use that anyway?)

Currently you can't launch it properly via a customisable key for external apps as there is no way currently to pass rom info.

Swindus will properly add this in a future version

Hey jcrouse why don't you have a resident option so that CPV2 runs in the background (perhaps as an icon in the icon tray) and polls for a custom defined key press, then when the keypress is detected CPV2 can enumerate window captions searching for MAME: then reading in the ROM name from the window caption, minimize Mame, then display the CP. You could also have controls.ini already stored in memory so displaying the CP would be quicker. Just a thought.

Looks like work has been done for the next release   :D
