[Resolved] MAME Controls on DMD

[MrGrynch]

I saw a really nice setup from TerryRed where he used CPWizard to generate MAME controls for display on the DMD screen.  I'd really like to do something like this, but CPWizard is defunct.  EmuMovies has control panels, but they are static images that don't match my layout.

Any suggestions?  Thanks!

BTW.. Downloaded snaps and themes from EmuMovies.  They are great!  I play the snaps on my main playfield and the theme movies on my back glass.  Looks killer

There static but I use clear logos or marquee images.

I'm sorry.  I don't know what you mean.  I'm talking about displaying the button controls for MAME games on the DMD display.  How do clear logos or marquee images help with that?

Just meant as another option.

Sorry.

AH!!  I got it.  Thanks.  Thought maybe you were suggesting to mask the EmuMovie control image

I found an old version of CPWizard that actually still runs.  Turns out it was WAY overkill for what I wanted.  So, I decided to use Google Slides to create my images.  I created a template of my control panel, and now I can manually edit the text for each game and create static images to display on the DMD.  Still some work to do but I think its a serviceable solution

Very nice and great use of the DMD monitor space for your MAME game CP!
