Controls outside of CPWizard

[celly]

I have CPWizard and its great with MAME. I tried my hand at designing a single CP for just VirtuaNES outside of CPWizard to blanket all my ROMS instead of one image for each ROM. The .png is in the emulator in the controls folder and for the life of me, it won't show when I launch a game. I've renamed it several times, made numerous adjustments in GameEx config. No dice. It only works if I name it a game name, if I name it Super Mario Bros it shows for SMB only.

Any ideas?

You can point to it in the 'Controls Path' in the emulator setup, it wil show for about 10 seconds before the Emu starts. I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for though...

You are also supposed to be able to show a panel using CPWizard also, but nobody seems to know how that works....

I did show the path to the .png in GameEx Conf but no matter what I name it, it won't show. Not to be too much of a noob but, I coudn't get it to work in CPWizard. That's why I made one outside of CPWizard in the first place.

EDIT: Figured it out. Didn't put .png after the file name in the path. F:\Emulators\VirtuaNES\Controls\VirtuaNES.png

Wow.
