Heya Brian CPWizard is "attached" to the pause key in MAME. So whatever u set the inputting setting to in Mame for pause CPWizard automatically will use that new key as well, no matter what you set it to. I'm wondering if this is what Headkaze intended for it to do? I'm sure there are 100's of CPWizard users out there to answer that! Would be very cool to be able to have MAME "not pause" when bringing up the CPWizard menu so you can view artwork or controls "while" playing. I'm sure that's the way Headkaze intended it right? To play the game and see the controls at the same time? That's why I'm thinking i must have something set up wrong? Or is this actually the way CPWizard works? That you can't play and view the controls at the same time? That's why i thought dual monitor support was added.....?

Anyone pls?

Yeah my biggest question is CPwizard supposed to pause mame? I know "p" is for pause....but "P" also is how u launch CPWizard....i was rly rly hoping that u could leave CPWizard up running "while" you are playing.......im rly wondering is this not how it works? I hope not id like to play while having it up so i can look at the controls....or just leave the Marquee up on my 2nd monitor....hat would look pretty cool.

I think i have it working now sort of....?? But is there anyway to have CPWizard running on my 2nd monitor and it "Not Pause" MAME when playing a game? The only way i found to unpause the game is to exit CPwizard itself then hit "p" again and then game starts again. Is this the way it's supposed to work? So I guess im asking is there a way have CPwizard not pause mame? So i can play the game "and" have the cpwizard showing up on my 2nd monitor? Also, I see that batch export option to create controls panels to put in your mame artwork folder......but if i do that it will "overwrite" my "actual" artwork "bezels" for games. So do you have to choose one or the other? I don't understand........So if i export them as .png's and not bezels what do i do with those png's? pls help! thx

I never got around to installing CP Wizard until today....i have a couple of weird problems. 1) If i launch CP wizard "outside" of Gamex and "then" start Gamex separately afterward everything is fine.....but im confused as to how to use CP Wizard properly: a) when i start up a mame game and then press "p" the cpwizard menu comes up fine. I have it set to show on my second monitor which is cool. But why does it "pause" the game itself? And how the heck do you "un-pause" it?? I always have to control-alt-delete to get out of it. Also how do you close CPWizard? I dont see an exit? 2) If i set Gamex to launch CPwizard in the advanced config the CPwizard menu doesnt show up. It seems to launch itself but the screen is just black and my game will pause. I have to control-alt-delete to get out of it. pls help! thx

rly? but everything runs just fine....only 1 thing different though. I got the Orange Swirl (USA) now instead of the blue....

Anyone know why everytime I start a game in NullDC i have to set the date every time? Also, how do you hide the mouse pointer? thx

k thx for the info..never thought about running my emus thru a TV b4.

ahh i see.....i was hoping Naomi would get rid of those God-awful jaggies in games like SNKCapcom and Marvel Vs. Capcom2. I never understood why when i owned a Dreamcast those games never looked that bad. But emulated the jaggies on characters look horrible. I dont even play those games because they look so bad. Also, is it worth it to use NullDc 103? Or just stick with Beta 100.1_6

Sry if this is a dumb question....but what is the difference between NullDC w/Naomi than w/o it? Is the emulation different?

forget it i fixed it

Setting up my Visual Pinball again...for some reason the list shows "No Games Found" I have the config pointing to my ROMS folder C:\Program Files\Pinball\ROMs Working Path C:\Program Files\Pinball Command Line VPinball.exe -play -"[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]" Am i forgetting to do something? Not sure why no tables are showing up in the list? thx

thx Headkaze!

Since i had to reformat my computer I lost a lost a lot of stuff.....I had a bookmark that had thread somewhere will all the latest highscore.dif files you can use w/ MAME compiler. Anyone have that link please? thx

thx guys!

i guess that worked...setting it to read only. thx Brian!

I just got a new PC....how can i check what video/audio codecs are installed on it? I'm running VISTA 32bit. Im asking because no preview videos are showing at all in GameEx. And yes, its set up right to show them. I'm thinking out of the box no codecs are installed then? I'd like to check b4 messing with installing any Thanks!

i was able to single it out to 1 thing...its when i enable the port A NullDc Controller dll:0 ....thats when everything gets screwed up it seems. I was able to get it to keep the sound at 2048 w/ no problem now. i even grabbed a fresh set of bios and and still have the problem when enabling the NullDc Controller let me try the read only thing and see what happens

i just tried it again...the .cfg file keeps clearing itself out that its totally blank. i tihnk this is what happened to me the last time u helped me a few months ago / last yr? It was because my bios got corrupted somehow. what do you think?

Brian, everything works fine........until i enable a joystick and change my audio setting to 2048. then the default load error goes away and the nullDC.cfg file is totally blank after that......Or it will lose the settings i just saved for audio and joystick u think something is corrupted?

thx Brian...ill give it a try right now. I'm still using the BrianNullDc you set up for me that one time!

Hi, for some reason I cant get GamEx to launch NullDC anymore....I'm pretty positive it's not my config. ( I just got a new PC) (It was actually working the first couple times.....but then i messed with some setting "within" NullDc itself trying to configure joystick) BEFORE the problem started: GamEx had no problem launching NullDC if "oustide" of GamEX, I launched NullDC on its own and I got a error saying (default image "failed to load") as long as i got that error right when i open/launch (double-click on the application) NullDC "outside" of GamEX , GamEx had no problems.... but for some reason now when i open NullDc outside of GamEx i dont get that error anymore....EVEN if i have Options > Use Default Image checked off......i wont get that error. I only get the error if i "manually" try to boot something....but i wont get that error "by default" just opening NullDC anymore.... i may be wrong but that was the one thing i definitely noticed as the difference between when it worked and now that it doesn't work... that i dont get that error anymore when i launch NullDC outside of GameEx anymore.... Now i just get a blank black screen within GameEx if i launch NullDc My Command Line does read: nullDC_100b1_6.exe -config ImageReader:DefaultImage="[rompath]/[romfile]" pls help! thx

just subscribe to Emumovies and save yourself the drama http://www.emumovies.com/ if u want to record a specific game use CamStudio 5

ill give those things are try when i get home thx!

hmm sorry Tom I'm not sure...i think I just skipped the last one. but its weird how all of a sudden they just dont work. its like they are frozen....like screenshots i use the 3ivx codec.....i use that one because it's the ONLY codec that works w/ both GameEx AND 3D Arcade
