Roms not shown correctly

Q: Why do my games list show many more games than I have ROMs in my Roms folder?

A: Make sure you set Options-Mame Config-Basics Collect(Only Games with Rom)

How to skip games in list?

Q: How can I skip games in the list like MameWah does by hitting the joystick Left and right?

A: This can all be set in options-controller-keyboard-basic. You can set it to skip by page,number of items or letter.

I have some scroll problem?

Q: I run into an issue when I want to scroll through games - it only moves 10 games and stops. If I release the stick and press it again it scrolls through 10 more.

A: This happens when you have your scrolling acceleration up too high. Try reducing it to say 5 then you can FLY..... through the game lists

Is there an Official MaLa Forum?

Yes ..... Mala Forum

List scroll too slow

Q: How do I make MaLa Game list scroll really fast straight away?

A: You need to have the following set:

  1. Options-Controller-Keyboard-Options (Key repeat set to ..say.. 10)
  2. Options-Controller-Options (Use scrolling acceleration set to ....say...5)
  3. Options-Gui-Options (Enable display delay and have no checkbox's ticked)

This should make MaLa Scroll very fast pretty much straight away...

If the speed is acceptable you can allow exceptions to the display delay (Test individually) The effect will vary depending on your PC speed.

When I quit MaLa I want the PC to shut down too. Can this be done?

A) Yes .

You choose a key (be it shifted or not) to get the 'Quit Confirmation', if you press that key again it will go away or press your allocated 'start game' key to quit

.

Is there a way to have one game list where individual ROMs in that single list use different versions of Mame?

. For example, now if I have some roms that need an earlier version of Mame to run fast enough, I must have them in a whole separate game list. Is there a work-around that you know of that will let me keep my mame games in one list?


A)Yep...You Launch With another Key ... See Pic. Placeholder for the external application command line: rom path, rom name, rom parent name, rom extension and emu name (%path%, %rom%, %parent%, %ext%, %emu%).
