automatic viewing of control panel before games loads?

[ultravorx]

just like the title says. i was wondering ig there is a way for the control panel viewer load/run while the mame games are \booting up? this would be great for those players who are new to a game or just trying out a new game.

the way i env ision it is when you click play this game. the control panl with labels loads up full screen. in he background mame is booting up. once your done with the controls. any button press closes it and you start the game.

nice idea that would be quite smart,but dont you think you sould put your idea in the feature request!!!!

i was hoping there was a simple setting or something easy. if its a new feature, ill switch it over to that section.

i agree this is a good idea. hopefully tom will think so too. even though it isn't hard to check the controls before you click "play this game", i would definitely use this feature.

Under "Play this game" there should be an option for some games to "View Controls" just above "Add to Favourites".
