Config Options (Complete list Tab by Tab)
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. FEEL FREE TO ADD RELEVANT TEXT TO ANY SECTION BELOW

MAME Config

(*)In actual versions of Mala (i.e. 1.04) the ROM-Options are hidden behind a new "Options"-dialogue.

|
Other Emu
Basics
On this tab you can set up all emulators with the exception of MAME. To set up a new emulator, click New. If the emulator is to get its own layout, the layout name needs to have the same name as the emulator for it to be loaded on EMU switch.
Examples:
|
Execution
On this tab you can define how other emus than MAME should start.
|
Options
On this tab you can specify directories that contain your console artwork including but not limited to title snaps, box scans, cart scans and even video previews. These objects will then need to be referenced in your layout files for them to show up when you run Mala. For example, if you put your cart scan directory in the cpanel field, you would need to add the cpanel object into your mala layout for the cart scans to show up. You will need to set up these directories individually for each emulator and ALL file names must exactly match rom names save for the file extensions.

Use other emulators
MaLa can start several emulators beside the standard emulator MAME. Because of the different behaviour it is sometimes tricky to set the correct parameters or batchfiles to use them in your cabinet. |
GUI
Layout
The layout can be selected here, if no automatic layout change is activated. Layout is same as a skins. Auto layout SWITCH
References to the naming of the layouts for the layout SWITCH function:
Additionally still another change of the layout is with the change of the Gamelist takes place applies the following: To the Main Gamelist applies standing above. (mame.mll, emulatorname.mll) To all other Gamelist applies: emulatorname_gamelistname.mll An example of MAME: Note:

Options
The announcement of all pictures (Snaps, Marquee, etc.) switches global on or out.
Nearly scrolling Enable Nearly scrolling accelerates the Scrollen of the Gamelisten by the fact that the pictures, videos, texts and the MaLa hardware (LCD, LED) with the Scrollen are not immediately updated, but only after a short delay after Scrollstop.
Rotate: If active, the gamelists catches again in front on if one at the end arrived and turned around. That applies to the plays and the lists themselves, if one has several. |
