Johnny5 help
bfauska:
I don't know if I have set up Johnny5 correctly or not, I am definately having problems with it but I don't know if it is my fault.
I unzipped the downloaded file into it's own directory and set up the mame directory and mame exe in the parsing options screen. When I try to run Johnny5 from the command line I get an error message:
"Run-time error '339':
Component 'LEDWIZM.OCX' or one of it's dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid."
This message is poping up over the default cp picture with no labels on it.
In my current settings I am using mameplus command line version mamep.exe and I have tested it also with mame32, and mame32fx.
In addition to the error message I am also not getting it to launch the roms. When I tried it with mame32 it opened the cp picture, poped the error message and opened mame32's frontend and now that I am trying it with a command line mame it only opens the cp picture. If I try to pass mame32 or mamep a rom name directly in the command line that works, so I must not have johnny5 set up right to send a rom name to mame.
To make a long post longer... the whole reason I am even attempting to set this up is so that I can use the command.dat system. I have that working directly through mameplus but would like to run it independant of the mame build. I also love the idea of showing a particular games controls in the FE before the game gets launched.
I feel like if I just understood what files go where and how I have them reference eachother I would be able to figure much of this out.
Thanks for any help, I would love to be able to use this program it looks like a great addition to my future cabinet.
Later,
Brian

The error message tells you what is wrong. Ledwizm.ocx is not registered properly. I don't do it for you because, well ocx's are funny and j5 doesn't use the latest version of the ocx (yet).
open up a command prompt, navigate to your johnny5 folder and type
regsvr32 ledwizm.ocx
All should be well.

I hate to seem helpless, but when I tried that command I got another error message:
"ledwizm.ocx" is not an executable file and no registration helper is registered for this file type."
Ideas?
Thanks,
Brian
EDIT:
I should mention I am running Windows XP with all current updates. I was however missing mfc30.dll which a microsoft help page said may cause problems so I dl'd it and restarted and tried again. Same probs.
Howard_Casto:
Honestly? Sounds like something is wrong with windows. You didn't by chance do one of those "tiny" installs did you?
I wanted to make absolutely sure that there wasn't a glitch in the ocx so I re-registered mine using the command I suggested above. I got a "ledwizm.ocx successfully registered" message and that was it. I run xp too btw.
bfauska:
Standard install. I should say Gateway install, on a laptop, but I've never had any trouble like this before. I could try it on my desktop just to see if it is this computer. I think I'll do that and see if that's the problem.
