MAME Config

Basics

Title: Title of the emulator.

(Note This text need cleanup) Here one registers exceptions for the production of the gamelist. If one liked have for example "no Japanese" plays in its Hauptgameliste, simply `Japan' to register there. Several entries are also possible and the individual exceptions with a comma are then separated: `Japan, boat-put'. The name of the play is filtered and large and lower case are not considered thereby.

Basics

TBA: On this register all emulators with exception of MAME are merged. You can add a new emulatore with using New One buttons. If the emulator is to get its own layout, the layout exactly like the emulator to call.

Name: Name of the emulator and/or the layout.
Executable: Executable file of the emulator.
Rom Path: Path to Rom files of the emulator.
Rom Extension: Extension Rome files of the emulator.

The following parameters determine when the emulator is called:

Send Rom extension: The Extension is also handed over to the emulator.
Send full Rome path: The absolute path Romes file is handed over to the emulator.
Ratio Rom path: The path Rome file is set in quotation marks.

Examples:

Executable: c:\emu.exe
Extension: zip

Roms path: c:\roms
Send roms extension: off
Send full roms path: off
Ratio? Rome path: out

= c:\emu.exe roms

Send Rome extension: on
Send full Rome path: off
Ratio? Roms path: off
= c:\emu.exe rom.zip

Send Roms extension: on
Send full Rome path: on
Ratio Rome path: on
= c:\emu.exe "c:\roms\rom.zip"

Specially parameters: Further call parameters for the emulator. E.g. a parameter for the Fullscreen mode etc.

Snap/pictures: Path to a listing with image files (bmp, jpg, png).

Marquee of pictures: Path to a listing with image files (bmp, jpg, png).

CPanel of pictures: Path to a listing with image files (bmp, jpg, png).

Use hotkeys: The use from Hotkeys to the controlling of the emulator activate.

Edit hotkeys: The Hotkeys for the controlling of the emulator furnish.

Use hook for exit: Keyboard Hook around the emulator with a certain key to terminate e.g. ESC. System must be used only on Windows 98, since Hotkeys do not function correctly then. One can read a more exact explanation here. Simply into the text field click and then any key press, in order to define one 'exit' key for the Hook.

Layout

TBA: The layout can be selected here, if no automatic layout change is activated. Layout is same as a skins.

Auto layout SWITCH

Emulator: If this option is marked, MaLa looks for a layout with the name of the emulator with an emulator change and loads this.

Gamelist: If this option is marked, MaLa looks for a layout with the name of the Gamelist with a Gamelistwechsel and loads this.

References to the naming of the layouts for the layout SWITCH function:

The layout for MAME must be called mame.mll.
The layout for not MAME emulators must be called like the name of the emulator. (Emu: C64 → layout: c64.mll)
The layout for the Jukebox must be called jukebox.mll.

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:

Layout for the Main Gamelist: mame.mll
Layout for the MAME Gamelist Fighter: mame_fighter.mll
Layout for the MAME Gamelist Shooter: mame_shooter.mll

An example of the not MAME emulator C64:
Layout for the Main Gameliste: c64.mll
Layout for the C64 Gamelist Fighter: c64_fighter.mll
Layout for the C64 Gamelist Shooter: c64_shooter.mll

Note:

If MaLa could not find the layout for the gamelist, the emulator layout is used..
If MaLa could not find the layout for the emulator, standard.mll is been used.

Other options:

Use Layout/Directory names: Additionally one can arrange MaLa in listings, which correspond to the layout name, to search. Dh MaLa looks for the layout of pictures and sounds in an appropriate layout listing in the MaLa draw-eats or in the indicated listing.
Use Sounds: Disable sound FX, used by the layout.
Background Music: Disable Background Music, used by the layout.
Animation: Disable the animation in the layout.

Use Tree: bla bla bla

Options

Start on windows start:MaLa starts with Windows, if this option is marked (autostart).
Hide mouse: The pointer of mouse is hidden and indicated with a mouse activity.
Small menu: A particularly small MaLa menu for Arcade monitor dissolutions. 200 x of 200 pixels
Orientation:
- Vertically - MaLa is turned represented by 90 degrees. Can be served also with a CONTROLLER.
- Flip -MaLa is turned represented by 180 degrees. Can be served also with a CONTROLLER. In combination with the attitude vertical one can MaLa also 270 degrees.
'Pictures and video Show of pictures

The announcement of all pictures (Snaps, Marquee, etc.) switches global on or out.

Quality': Indicator speed and - quality of the pictures.
Show video': The announcement of the videos switches global on or out.
Keep aspect ratio: Aspect ratios of all pictures and videos are maintained. Partially importantly for Arcade of monitors, which draw the picture dissolution into the width.

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.

Display delay: The delay specifies, with which pictures, videos, texts and the MaLa hardware after a Scrollstop are updated.
Exceptions: **Text: Texts are not retarded spent, but always updated with the Scrollen.
- MaLa hardware
- LCD and LEDs are not retarded spent, but always updated with the Scrollen.
- SoundSounds are not retarded spent.
- Gamelists
Sorting Assortment of the Gamelisten. Menu can be changed also with the CONTROLLER or Joystick in the MaLa.

Rotate: If active, the Gamelisten 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.

TBA: Filter1 - Filter4

Definition of the 4 at the same time available filters.

SHIFT key

The virtual `SHIFTs' - key doubles the keys standing to the Verfügungung, if only little Buttons etc. is available. First times described a key as above as `SHIFTs' - key define. Then `the SHIFTs' - key as well as another key press, in order to occupy a function. All functions/keys, which `the SHIFTs' - key contain, in blue are represented.

CONTROLLER option UP/down interval

Jump interval for the X-UP and X-down.

Key repeat in ms

Delay in milliseconds for the keys, in order to adapt the Scrollgeschwindigkeit in the lists and in the MaLa menu.

Use default config for flipped orientation

Default the CONTROLLER Setup is always used, no matter how MaLa is turned.

CONTROLLER Setup Setup

Selection one before with `save' stored CONTROLLER of profile.

Mame CONTROLLER

Mame needs also a CONTROLLER definition. This can be bound here at a MaLa CONTROLLER profile. That becomes meaningful if one has e.g. several control panel with different key allocations in the employment. So it is to be changed possible the CONTROLLERs attitudes of MaLa and Mame in a slide.

Save

All current attitudes in a CONTROLLER stores profile.

DELETE

The selected MaLa deletes CONTROLLER profile. The Mame profile is not deleted.
