Yes you can use it with emulators. I have not finished setting all of my emus up yet, but I can confirm that it does work. You need to use the "launch before" or "launch also" with the right command line. Based on what's at the CPWizard homepage, use something like:

CPWizard.exe -emu "Project 64" -game "Mario Kart 64" -timeout 5000

NOTE: I found that you must have all 3 switches for CPWizard to work.

NOTE: CPWizard doesn't have any information about what controls do what. If you want to have the actual command to be displayed, you will need to provide a file for CPWizard to use. I've looked for this kind of info in the past, but as of yet haven't found it.

i must be doing something wrong cos i can not get cpwizard to show befor i load

a n64 game.

put the launch befor = CPWizard.exe -emu "Project 64" -game "Mario64" -timeout 5000

but just load the game and no cpwizard.

First off, make sure you can get it working outside of GameEx. Launch a command prompt and try it. I suspect the problem is path related. If you just put exactly what I wrote before in the command, then it won't know where the application is. You will need to specify the path to cpwizard.exe (typically c:\program files\cpwizard\cpwizard.exe). Give that a try and see what happens.

Yes, you can create files for each emulator. The example I specified (which is the one HK uses as an example) is for Mario Kart 64. CPWizard includes a file for the N64 that contains the controls for that game so you can see what's required. There was a thread a while back where someone said they had a file for NES and perhaps some others. I asked if they wanted to share to the community, but I don't think they ever responded
