Probably has something to do with the name being the same as another Program of the same name 'CPViewer'. No doubt there is/was a file of that name on this forum and hence those stats are bloated. Just a Theory.

Yeah I think you might be on to something there. It's really wierd I'm getting all these people posting in here complaining about the name, or saying that IRC was a bad idea and this and that. All complaints so far. Noone has actually said they like the program yet, and I know people are testing it because I see them drop into IRC for a a few moments. Big waste of my time maybe? :dunno

Definitely not a big waste of time! I haven't had time to get this going but when I do, I'll let you know how it goes. The cab isn't networked so I won't be able to chat though.
Thanks for doing this! :cheers:

Thanks Hoopz, people like you make it worthwhile :cheers:
Maybe there are no bugs? Well I found a few minor things, some have already been fixed for next release, but I'm blown away, noone has reported any problems yet.
Any requests? So far people have asked for hiscore.dat support, multiplayer Mame support and I intend on extending the data available for consoles (snaps, carts, boxart, manuals etc.).

Hey man, I just want to chime in and say it looks really cool and there are many of us who appreciate the work but haven't commented (yet).
I'm going to end up with either this or CPV2 running full time on my cab. I just haven't had a chance to test either one yet. But it's really great to have options and I'm sure each one will have advantages for different situations.
Also keep in mind that a lot of people with cabinets only get around to looking around for new "toys" every couple months, so it might take a little while for the users to trickle in. But I'm sure there a lot of people out there who will love it.

I know people are playing with it, the same people are in and out of the IRC room every day :) If they stayed around for longer than a few seconds I would have the place full of people!
I understand it takes a while for people to get around to playing with it. I'm still building up all the artwork collections to use it on my cab. My cab doesn't even have the latest version installed yet! So I understand it takes time for people to check it out. CP viewers are usually the last thing people consider on their cabs, but I think it's an important addition.
I've recently added more support for console emulators that will coincide with EmuMovie releases. This means you can view Manuals, Operation Cards, Snaps, Titles, Carts and Boxes for other emulators. Right now I'm adding support for Game Info which will include all the info found in the GoodName databases and naming convention and I will probably add support for TOSEC releases too. Still alot of work to do, but I havn't given up, and I intend on making this the best CP viewer program I can make.
It might be wise to get an FTP accound on EmuMovies or get the torrent because it is good to add the game's historical information to your cab, and there is the practical use for finding out the game's controls and instructions too.
