I recently had considered buying a 2nd 7″ monitor for my arcade cabinet. I decided to not get one due to the money cost. So far I’ve spent about 250 on materials for my arcade cabinet + 150 for the monitor + the pc and speakers which was a gift (a 500 dollar computer would probably run mostly everything I can, except ps2, wii and gamecube). Anyways, I didn’t want to spend an extra 120 for an LCD monitor, because I really should be saving for other things.
Luckily, I recently found out how to have cp wizard display the control panel with labeled buttons. The script belwo has the control panel displayed for a few seconds right before launching the game (thanks to chillingwater for helping refine this code). the cpwizard directory to match the location of your cpwizard.exe
