Looks sound.

In regards to the L key might just be that game does not have a control panel. 1941 doesn't for example.

It looks like GameExtender is starting up OK, please give me some detail on what you have tried and what does not work.

O.K.

Firstly with regards to the 'L' button. Does GameEx display the Cpanel shots or the control panel viewer when 'L' is pressed. Or have I got the wrong end of the stick.

Secondly I have tried following your guide. I have set GameEx to windowed then opened GameExtender. The first time I did this My firewall picked it up and tried to block it(ZoneAlarm). I allowed it through but all that happened is the screen went black and stayed like it for some time. Until I decided something wasnt configured properly.

Hope that makes sense.

It displays the control panel viewer, not the snap. Please verify its not working for a game that GameEx can create a dynamic cp for.

Post your gameex.ini and Ill take a look at your settings.

Silly question, but are you pressing 'L' while your in a Mame game?

What happens when you go to http://127.0.0.1:8383 in a browser when GameEx is running.

Not too sure what's going on. Looks OK. I am guessing its your firewall software, or you need to run GameExtender on your actual lan card ip. You could also try a different port. Maybe its used by something else.

I have GameXtender working now thanks. But as for the 'L' button I have tried several games all with a CP viewer available to look at before launching but it dosent display once Mame is launched.

BTW You can also use http://localhost:8383 (same thing, just easier to remember)

What version of Mame are you using jedah?

[jedah]

I am currently using Mame32 v.103. I just cant seem to get this control panel viewer to work. Can you name a few Mame games that it definately works for on your setup because I have tried plenty now and still had no luck.
