cpwizard memory probs

[ReFleX]

Does anyone else have huge amounts of memory being used if you leave cpwizard running in resident mode?

I have cpwizard running (not using the new features in Gameex, I don't like the panel showing before each game loads), and after the gameex screensaver has been running for awhile, cpwizard is using like 1.5 gigs of virtual memory causing windows to complain.

Sounds like a memory leak. I think HK will have to cover this one.

Yes I have had the same problem from the start, vista eventually offers to close the program to free up memory, you have to then manually restart cpwizard. I was hoping someone else noticed this, I thought it was just me, I know I should have posted but I don't have a dedicated cab so Its not critical for me yet untill I get one. Definately a memory leak though!

Thanks for the report, I'll look into it.

I discovered a memory leak in Mame.dll which might be causing this although the leak is minor I guess if you run enough games in attract mode it might cause a problem. This will be fixed in the next release of CPWizard.

Awesome! Can't wait to try it!

Can you please try 1.79.

Can you please try 1.79.

Gave it try tonight and it seemed to work like a charm! I let the screensaver run for about 45 mins. switching games every 3 mins. and CPWizard stayed at about 90MBs (same as at boot).

I will try this at the weekend and report back, thanks headkaze.
