Im sure that can be done pretty easy... Do you have any info on what those buttons are mapped to?

Not yet. I know that the two main joystick are 8 ways

the center one is a 4 way

Those should be simple

I know Im going to be using an ipac

Ive just started to learn the CPWIZARD

I would think that DreamAuthentics would use the normal keys

I think the cabinet comes with about 200 games all ready loaded on it.

Im just trying to prepare myself so when it comes I can do everything

right so I can gae into the MAME THING quick.

Right now Im using a Game pad and it SUCKS for games like pacman,burgertime ,ect

Did you see that CPWizard has a help file? Look for help in the menu bar, then select help again.

Yes,Im learnig slowly but surely

I learn alot of times from trial and error

It's not hard to set up CP Wizard. I wouldn't worry about it till you get your control panel. Anything you try to setup now will surely be wrong. Play around with it to understand the setup in general if you want, but there's no substitute for configuring the real thing.

And I wasn't being short with you, I just wanted to make sure you had seen it. Basically, you build a software replica of your control panel, and then tell the CPWizard what your key assignments are. You could go ahead and get the "look" of you CP right, but as BK said, you won't be able to do key assignments until you know what they are.

I'll give you a tip, You have that picture of your control panel, use it for the background image in the CPWizard, and then you can use it as a template to set up your panel in the CPWizard. Just place your controls over the controls in your background image (you can resize controls in the CPWizard), and then change your background image when you are done.

I hope that makes sense, I'm not sure I explained it well.

I would just print out that picture of your CP, then recreate it in CPWizard. I agree with these guys though you should probably leave the labels until after you get your CP configured. As you configure them write down the keycodes your using then add them into CPWizard.

If you don't know what keycodes are assigned or you use the defaults of the encoder, download the Virtual key code lookup program which will help you identify what they are assigned to.
