Cheers chap. Good vibe in this community, so hope it continues to do a storm. I think GameEx Evo and Launchbox can co-exist quite nicely, as they are going to offer different things, ultimately. And I won't hold my breath for the love - you seem like you've been in the hobby a while - so you know the type of stuff you see. I've already had one posting (on a FE forum that will remain nameless!) telling me that manually entering controls for games sounded too much like hard work and that he expected that this would have already have been done (for him!?). I've hired a jet and employed a team of data entry clerks to help him out immediately. Keep on tinkering!

No worries - hope it is helpful for people. Good way to view it - it's like CPWizard+. Headkaze is busy developing the new gameex, so he doesn't have a lot of time to dev his historic ones. Kudos to the fella - CPWizard is over 10 years old + still going! Top chap too. Not wishing to detract from Jason Carr - really respect what he's done with his stuff + love his dev videos. If I wasn't such a GameEx faithful, this would be my next choice. Exciting stuff you guys are doing here and would be exciting to be involved in it's development.

@zerohex - check you pm fella. And skim reading the OP - yeah - CPWizBiz can do that and also show individual game controls mapped to the controller. See here: https://sites.google.com/view/magoarcade/software/cpwizbiz?authuser=0

Whoops - apologies - had membership set up wrong. You should be able to post now..

OK. Cool. Good luck. CPWizBiz is only setup for one frontend at the moment, but keen to support other front ends too. There's one function in CPWB which allows you to translate system names as stored in BigBox into the CPWB standard. I'm not sure if BigBox has standardised system names, but if it does, I just need to create a map file from one to the other. For example, BB might have "Sony PlayStation" whereas the standard in CPWB might be "Sony Playstation" If there are standard system names in BB + someone's happy to do an exercise of mapping these - let me know and you help would be appreciated. Good luck, brother.

Have you looked at all the videos and documentation? Docs: https://cpwizbiz.codeplex.com/documentation I'm not very clear on what you've done or what you're aiming for, but basically you have two routes to adding a game/system setup with CPWizBiz: a) via command line - e.g: cpwizbiz.exe -gm "WipEout 3" -sy "Sony PlayStation" b) By going to the "Change Setup" tab, click "Clear" and then Type the gamename and then choose the system (and the other fields if you want). You can then setup the Game on that System. You then use CPWizBiz by getting BigBox to issue the above command line when it launches a game. Sorry, I don't know launchbox/bigbox well enough to tell you how to do that, but seeing the quality of this FE, their will invariably be a way to run additional command lines on game launch. Hope that helps. btw - the Game and System cmd line parameters are the minimum. You can send other parameters as outlined in the docs.

Certainly would + would be interested to see your rig.

Hi folks. Just a quick share of something I've knocked together. Dunno if useful to you fellas. I'm mainly over on another FE (hence the newb here!), but this should work with all FEs: CPWizBiz is a multi-system game info and controls generator. Use it to display the controls for any game on any system. It also creates a dynamic layouts, leveraging media such as images, video, flash, youtube, gifs and scrollers.
