Open Office?

I had the magsticks on my CP. No downside to them at all. I did modify them so that you didn't have to pull up on them to change from 4 - 8 way, but could just twist them left and right.

What does the map file look like? Does it come with PinBallFX2, or is it something that you created? Generally, a GUI is used to hide another window. A splash screen may work as well, but I've never tried it for that purpose. Obviously you will need to be able to send keys to the window beneath. Either way, don't hesitate to ask for help at the AHK forum. They are very helpful and won't flame you. Just post a sample of the code that you are using and a description of the problem in the support forum.

It looks like you are using on board graphics, Is it possible that you are running out of video memory?

One more question. In your Video it doesn't look like the games are shown in the list alphabetically. If that is true, how is the position of each game in the list determined?

I think that I can help you automate this even more, but I don't understand the key combinations that you use to load the various games. (Keep in mind that I do not have PinBallFX2 installed on my system) Using the Lansdcape files for example, the keys for Avenger are: While the keys for BioLab are: I just don't see the correlation between the two games. In my mind if sending {Right} 3 times gets you to the first game, shouldn't sending {Right} 4 times get you to the second? If you can come up with a pattern to select games that is repeatable, then I think that one loader could be written for all games no matter how many games that you have.

Glad that you are making the effort. Best of luck!

3 minutes of my life is just as boring as 1.

SwitchDisc by Nullpointer can be found in the downloads section.

You may have to set the option for Update list to show in your setup.

You would also need to have AutoHotKey installed on your system. Otherwise they will need to be compiled to exe files.

LMAO

In reality, I don't think he did.

Woof!

I'm not sure. You can set the location of the ini file from within the ini file itself. If you set it to . (dot) you should be able to get away with just the copy in the root.

Agreed, fantastic photos. Based on them, I would definitely visit Portugal. I will remain jealous, for now.

I would rename the file back to controls.xml just for starters. Considering all of the problems you are having with Mame, I'm starting to wonder if something is wonky with your setup. Maybe you have more than one version setup, and things are getting confused? Also, AFAIK Headkaze reads the mame.ini file from the Mame folder, and not the Mame\ini folder. If you don't have a copy in your Mame folder, put one there. Lastly, make sure that you have the buttons on your CP layout assigned to the same mappings that you have setup in Mame.

It takes the same amount of effort for emulators as it does for Mame. If you are going to create individual panels for games that are setup different from the default, it will take a few minutes per game.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but recently XYZZY has joined us as a member. (Joined on Aug 15 2013 07:06 AM)

You should be able to do this with CPWizard. It takes some time to get everything right, but is really cool when setup properly. IIRC you can have a default layout, with overrides for specific games.

I like the cart console better at the bottom.

I think we just had a thread where turning off 'verify roms' fixed the problem.

If you haven't heard of it, you will want to take a look at emumovies.com. They have videos for almost every system. If you have a subscription, GameEx has a utility to download videos to match the roms that you have. If none of that works for you, I wrote a program called Snapshot Magician that can help automate the process of creating snaps and videos.

Fantastic!

Happy Birthday Frequency!
