FE with button layout on screen?
TheShanMan:
I'll try to remember to do that next time I plug my cab into the network. It's especially helpful to me because I have swappable panels, so not only does this image show me what the controls do, but it shows me which panel the game requires.
TheShanMan:
Here is the pic you requested. The cropped and shrunken CPWizard image is in the lower left corner.

Wow that is pretty sweet. Is that Mamewah? I am using Mala, but I think it would be the same to incorporate it. I am surprised I have not seen that used before. It makes a lot of sense to me to have the controls right there.
How do you export the files from CPWizard?

Not sure how you export the images from CPWizard, but I know you can do it from CPViewer. If you execute the command 'cpv2.exe –s' the program can create a custom snapshot of your control panel layout with the controls listed for every mame game you have documented in in your controls.ini file. You can then reference the images in Mamewah, calling up the custom controls layout right on the screen as you scroll through the games in Mamewah.
The '-s' can take a while, depending on how many roms you have. Execute the command, and walk away for a while.
Here's the link for the CPViewer manual, in .pdf format.

Look at the name of the image file. ;) CPWzard has an Export menu item, so I exported an entire set of png's, and then I set up irfanview to process them as a batch job, first cropping the images to remove all but what you see there, and then resizing to the size I needed for display in the fe.
