<div>== Installing MaLa Plug-Ins ==<br />
<br />
Installing a plug-in varies a little but basically you need to have the *.mplugin file in the ../mala/plugins directory as well as any other files (like set-up files) that are provided with the Plug-In.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Mala_OptionsE.JPG|240px]] When MaLa starts it looks to see what *.mplugin files are in that directory. It will then list them in..<br />
<br />
Assuming you have done the relevant set-up (if any) required for that plug-in, it should work the next time you run MaLa.<br />
<br />

<br style="clear:both;"/><br />
<br />
Know how to code in Delphi or C++?<br />
<br />
Even if you don't, why not try? <br />
<br />
You can download Delphi Starter or Visual Studio Express C++ and begin producing your own Plug-ins very quickly:<br />
<br />
It can be as complex or as simple as you like. Start by modifying the example supplied. (Event Logger)<br />

'''Delphi Starter Edition (Cheap) :''' [http://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi/starter Download Here] <br />
<br />
'''MS C++ Express Edition:''' [http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/ Download Here]<br />
<br />
You, for example may have the PC do something like make a BEEP noise when you start a game or you may have it do something more complex like mapping controls for your joysticks for a custom control panel.<br />
<br />
In any case, the Latest MaLa. The latest version has the Plugin SDK included so have a play.<br />
<br />
<br />
The example provided, 'EVENT LOGGER' saves a line to a text file every time a event happens.<br />
<br />
When you are ready you can substitute this code with your own code to make the plug-in do somethings else.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Mala_OptionsX.JPG|500px]]<br />
<br />
In a nutshell, the plug-ins are triggered on various events.<br />
<br />
* Game Selected,<br />
* Emulator Selected,<br />
* List Selected,<br />
* Orientation Switch,<br />
* Game Start,<br />
* Game Quit,<br />
* Screen saver Start,<br />
* Screen saver Switch,<br />
* Screen saver Stop,<br />
* Attract Mode Start,<br />
* Attract Mode Stop,<br />
* MaLa Start,<br />
* MaLa Quit,<br />
* MaLa Tree Up,<br />
* MaLaTree Down<br />
<br />
On these events you decide what your plug-in will do..<br />
<br />
Or you can have your Plug-in tell MaLa what to do (using MaLa Messages)<br />
* STOP BG MUSIC <br />
* START BG MUSIC <br />
* NEXT SONG <br />

* NEXT EMULATOR <br />
* PREVIOUS EMULATOR <br />
* START GAME <br />
* START RANDOM GAME<br />
* QUIT GAME <br />
* EXIT MaLa<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Try it. It's lots of fun :-)<br />

==How to Install a Layout==<br />
Sometimes it is just a matter of dragging a folder and a file into the Mala directory.But all layouts are not necessarily always quite this straight forward to install.<br />
<br />
This is because often the Layouts creator is nice enough to cater for various options (Not just the what they happen to personally use) such as Orientation and resolution that other users may want to use. Also a custom font may need to be installed.<br />
<br />
Anyway It won't take you long to get a Mala layout up and running in any case. I the following info will assist you to do so.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Quick Background:===<br />
*To use a layout you Must have a *.mll file. This file contains all the details of the layout including what graphics and sounds that are associated with it.<br />
*The local of these *.mll files can be set in Mala-Options-GUI-Layout. If no directory is set here then Mala will look for them in the Mala root folder.<br />
*The location of the graphics and sounds can either be:<br />
1) Default – In a subfolder of the directory specified with exactly the same name as the layout<br />
<br />
2) Just in the directory specified (ie no extra folder)<br />
<br />
The way Mala will search for them is determined by the setting options Options-GUI-Layout ‘checkbox- Use layout name for directory names’<br />
<br />
<br />
I will now show a set by step directions on setting up layouts downloaded from the Mala website. The two examples I will use is ‘BLUE’ and VCP03’<br />
<br />
===Layout Example 1:BLUE===<br />
<br />
This is a blue.rar file. A .rar file is similar to a .zip file and needs to be decompressed using appropriate software such as WinRAR.<br />
<br />
Once decompressed you will find a ‘blue’ folder which contains a number of files and folders. Depending on what resolution you wish to run your layout at will determine what files are of use to us.<br />
<br />
The files and folders are:<br />
<br />
blue640.mll<br />
<br />
blue800.mll<br />
<br />
blue1024.mll<br />
<br />
blueexample.jpg<br />
<br />
blue640 (folder)<br />
<br />
blue800 (folder)<br />
<br />
blue1024 (folder)<br />
<br />
Font (folder)<br />
<br />
NOTE: This particular layout is a ‘Fixed Size Layout’ meaning it will only look and work correctly in the version(s) provide by it’s author. The upside of fixed size layouts is they look a lot sharper as they are never stretched or compressed <br />
<br />
In my case the resolution I will use is 1024 (to match my Windows resolution) so the files/folder of use are:<br />
<br />
blue1024.mll<br />
<br />
blue1024 (folder)<br />
<br />
Font (folder)<br />
<br />
<br />
I ‘choose’ to have my graphics in a subfolder (which is what mala is set-up for by default in Options-GUI-Layout ‘checkbox- Use layout name for directory names’) and as folders are already created for me this ‘BLUE’ set-up will be very very easy.<br />
<br />
#) Copy the ‘blue1024.mll’ and ‘blue1024’ to your mala directory (or the alternate directory specified in (Mala-Options-GUI-Layout)<br />
#) Open the font folder. In this folder you will find a file ‘slicker.ttf’. Copy this file to you windows font directory (In my case using Win XP pro that folder exist at C:\WINDOWS\Fonts. When you have copied it there you may see a window pop up confirming the font has been installed.<br />
#) Launch Mala.<br />
#) In Mala-Options-GUI-Layouts- There will will be a list box containing Available layouts’Amounst those should now be ‘blue1024’. Select this and click OK<br />
<br />
You are done :-)<br />
<br />
===Layout Example 2:VCP03===<br />
<br />
This layout differs from the one above in two ways:<br />
#) It is not a ‘fixed size layout’ which means it can be scaled to any screen size/resolution<br />
#) This layout includes vertical version in case you have your monitor orientated that way.<br />
#) Depending on what game is selected the pic of the controls will change to the appropriate number of buttons<br />
#) Depending on what EMU is selected the entire layout will change slightly (Well only Mame, ePSXe and ZSNES in this particular case)<br />
<br />
This is a blue.rar file. A .rar file is similar to a .zip file and needs to be decompressed using appropriate software such as WinRAR.<br />
<br />
Once decompressed you will field a ‘VCP03’ folder which contains a number of files and folders. <br />
<br />
The files and folders are:<br />
<br />
Mame.mll<br />
<br />
ePSXe.mll<br />
<br />
ZNES.mll<br />
<br />
VIEWME.jpg<br />
<br />
README.TXT<br />
<br />
ePSXe (folder)<br />
<br />
Mame (folder)<br />
<br />
ZSNES (folder)<br />
<br />
I ‘choose’ to have my graphics in a subfolder (which is what mala is set-up for by default in Options-GUI-Layout ‘checkbox- Use layout name for directory names’) so this mean I can leave the files in there folders.<br />
<br />
5) Copy the all these files to your mala directory (or the alternate directory specified in (Mala-Options-GUI-Layout)<br />
6) Open the Advocut.Zip file. In this zip you will find a file ‘Advocut.ttf’. Copy this file to you windows font directory (In my case using Win XP pro that folder exist at C:\WINDOWS\Fonts. When you have copied it there you may see a window pop up confirming the font has been installed.<br />
7) There are a few extra clever things this layout does and to set that up to work correctly you need to set up ‘Definables’ Please refer to the README.TXT on details on how to do that. There are also a few other basic MaLa set-up tips for this layout to work at it's full potential<br />
Launch Mala<br />
9) So that the layout will change when you change EMU's make sure in Options-GUI- layout that the Auto Layout switch - Emulator checkbox is ticked.<br />
10)Launch Mala.<br />
<br />
The new layout should have automatically select (as you have the Auto Layout switch - Emulator checkbox ticked).<br />
<br />
Enjoy<br />
<br />
==How to create your own custom Layout==<br />
<br />
===Layout planning considerations===<br />
<br />
====First off ... Will something else do the job?====<br />
Unless you like this sort of thing (messing with layout software and configuration), you might be best just downloading one of the other layouts available and going with that.<br />
====Is this for my own cabinet, or will it be shared with the world?====<br />
Fixed size layouts are great if you know exactly what your target video/monitor, as well as your chosen emulators, are capable of. Scalable layouts might be worthwhile if you intend to contribute the layout for others to use.<br />
====Do I need to support vertical (or horizontal) monitors?====<br />
Providing a vertical or horizontal variation in your layout can be great but it increases the work required considerably.<br />
====Will using a navigation tree be easier or harder to use for the combination of emulators and gamelists I have?====<br />
* There is no easy answer to this. Think about how often strangers will need to use the system, and whether moving up and down a [[Mala_Cool#MaLa_Tree|MaLa Tree]] to get to a different part of the system will be more frustrating than whatever combination of buttons is required without a tree.<br />
* If in doubt either way, simplify your lists. People are more likely to be searching for a game they know the name of than just browsing. If they don’t find it within a couple of menus they will probably give up and play something else.<br />
<br />
===Before doing any graphics===<br />
* Decide your resolution(s), orientation.<br />
* Sketch something with a pencil and paper first. It doesn’t need to be good looking, only enough for you to remember tomorrow what you meant. Include your gamelist, any list or emulator titles, snaps, other pictures, whatever. Try and keep things as simple and clean as possible – there isn’t as much room as you might think.<br />
<br />
===Rapid prototype===<br />
* Jump into MaLa Layout, set your target resolution and start to place your elements quickly the way you’ve designed on paper. Delete the background (space invaders) image.<br />
* Check your gamelist and list titles are readable and wide enough, at roughly the font sizes you will want to use. Switch on “Show lines” from the gamelist layout tab – especially if you are planning a diagonal, arrow or round transformation.<br />
* At this stage you’re working out constraints to save time later when you work up the graphics. Make a note of the pixel widths of those elements once you’re comfortable. Any elements you do or don't want to include in your layout can be toggled via the "objects" menu.<br />
* Save the layout and exit.<br />
* Run it in MaLa and see whether the gamelist looks fine, snaps are the right size relative to the screen etc. Any problems, go back and fix.<br />
<br />
===Doing the graphics===<br />
For this section I’ll assume you’re using and familiar with Photoshop, Fireworks or something similar.<br />
* Set up a new file at your target resolution, or a large standard resolution if you’re planning a scalable layout. For 4:3 layouts I would pick 1280x960 or even 1600x1200. You can scale these images down cleanly, but not up.<br />
* Get creative.<br />
* Remember that '''video''' always plays on top, whether you like it or not.<br />
* Don’t forget to render out a different image for the '''menu windows''' etc. if you need one.<br />
* Any areas that will require some sort of transparency should be kept in their own layers for ease of export later.<br />
* '''Transparency''' is based on the colour of the bottom left pixel. You don’t actually need to render out a file with transparency in it (GIF or PNG) – just make sure that wherever else the same colour as the bottom-left pixel appears, you’re happy for it to be transparent.<br />
* Anything you intend to '''animate''' (scroll) must be created at the same dimensions as the entire background. Remember that animation in MaLa isn't created by a series of frames (ie. like an animated GIF for example). Instead it's a static image that is scrolled in a direction and loops back on itself.<br />
Example:<br />
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=108182.msg1148039#msg1148039<br />
* Save some high quality versions of your layout images Use 24-bit PNG format since MaLa works great with it, and it won’t degrade like JPG will or lose colours like GIF.<br />
* If you have a lot of files, especially for many sub-layouts (e.g. for various emulators) consider placing the files into individual folders for each emulator or list, to keep things organised.<br />
* If you will have a different layout for each emulator, e.g. you’ve got a picture of a NES visible when the NES emulator is showing, make sure you export as many variants of your backgrounds etc as necessary.<br />
* '''Special tip for making vertical / horizontal variants of the same picture:''' both horizontal and vertical layouts need background files saved in "landscape" format. This means if you want the same basic background picture used for horizontal and vertical variations, you need to rotate the image counter-clockwise within Photoshop, then change the canvas size to suit (eg. rotate 1024x768 image 90° ccw, then increase the width to 1024, and crop the height back to 768.)<br />
<br />
===Building the layout===<br />
* Back in MaLa Layout now, open your prototype from before.<br />
* Put the '''background''' in first. Double-click on the background region to bring up the background editing dialog box. Via "Choose image file", point to your background image. You should choose an approximate background colour too, even though you won't see it - this is for menus which will come later.<br />
* Don’t worry if you’re working on a scalable layout and the editing screen seems stuck at 800x600. That’s just how it is while designing. If your background images are actually of a higher resolution, they’ll be fine when they are loaded in MaLa itself.<br />
* To overlay additional graphics on your layout, use "'''custom''' 1,2,3 or 4". These are just for static images. The reason you might use these is if you wish to differentiate the depth against other elements and/or the background - eg. have a game character partially obscure the snap image, or achieve a porthole effect like Gamecreature’s MaLa Layout “Blue”. Remember to tick “transparency” if required. <br />
* To add ROM-specific elements such as control panels, cabinets or flyers, use "'''definable''' 1,2,3 or 4". You will need to use the MaLa options menu to configure the file location and naming convention for these files to match your ROMs.<br />
* Simple '''animations''' can be added by choosing a file to use as the animation. This file could be any static image. Note: the image does not have to animate e.g. an animated GIF or MNG file. Animation is achieved by MaLa progressively offsetting (scrolling) the image. It acts as almost an additional layer of background, and as such cannot be restricted to a particular box dimension. Transparency is advised in most situations.<br />
* To add '''text''', choose Text 1,2,3 or 4. Text replacements can be specified through the use of variables. In most cases, use the menu system provided adjacent to the "pattern" field to select text to display about the selected ROM etc. Test the results often to find the output that best suits your requirements. You can edit the pattern field directly to add text beside the variables, eg.<br />
** Game values:<br />
*** Buttons (~g_buttons): Button count<br />
*** Clone of (~g_cloneof): Name of master<br />
*** Coins (~g_coins): Coin count<br />
*** Control (~g_control): Controller type<br />
*** Description (~g_description): Name of the game<br />
*** Genre (~g_genre): Genre of the game<br />
*** Orientation (~g_orientation)<br />
*** Players (~g_players): Player count<br />
*** Manufacturer (~g_manufacturer)<br />
*** Resolution (~g_resolution): XPixel x YPixel<br />
*** Rom (~g_name): Name of rom file<br />
*** Screen (~g_screen): Raster or Vektor<br />
*** Year (~g_year)<br />
**Gamelist values:<br />
*** Count (~l_count): Count of games<br />
*** Filter flag (~l_filtered): Filter flag (displays (F))<br />
*** Name (~l_name): Name of list<br />
*** Position(~l_position): Current position in the list<br />
* Layers can overlap. Videos can be placed on top of snaps, for example, to display a static screenshot in place of a video if none is available. The order of layers is controlled via "'''Z-order'''" in the "Objects" menu. Remember, video will always play on top no matter what.<br />
* Status screens and menus: Under the "Layout" Menu, choose "Get from game list" first of all. This will save a lot of time hand-editing to match your existing work. Then go through each of "Menu window", "Starting window" etc etc. to fine tune as necessary.<br />
* Use the preview link under the "View" menu, and when things look good, try the layout in MaLa. <br />
* If you are planning to have a different looking layout depending on the emulator or list, you will need to duplicate and edit the layout as many times as are necessary for all your variations. Save your file with a different filename each time.<br />
<br />
===Testing in MaLa itself===<br />
* You’re mainly interested in the GUI tab. Make sure you understand the following:<br />
** If you’re switching layouts based on emulator / list, tick the appropriate boxes under the GUI tab’s “auto layout switch” section. The available layouts list will be greyed out, and you’ll need the emulator / list names to match the layout files/folders exactly.<br />
** Remember to specify whether or not you’re using a subdirectory to store all your images below your layout file. The directory (folder) must have the exact same name as the layout file, e.g. c:\MaLa\mame.mll is the layout, and all the layout’s files live in c:\MaLa\mame\ directory.<br />
* Under the MAME config tab, choose the Pictures and Videos sub-tab to configure the folders for the various graphics to be displayed in your layout.<br />
* Under the Other Emulators tab, choose the other emulators and adjust similar folder paths under the Options sub-tab.<br />
<br />
===MaLa Tree===<br />
This is an alternative way to organise your Menus. MaLa Tree provides a hierarchical menu structure for navigating different emulators and game lists. Combined with custom layouts for each emu or list, it can become quite an impressive interface.<br />
<br />
[[Mala_Tree]]<br />
<br />
==F.A.Q.==<br />
Q1) After I have created a layout in the editor, graphics don't seem to carry across to MaLa<br />
<br />
A1) Well this is beacuse you can store the graphic files in two ways:<br />
<br />
A) (default) Have the graphics required for that layout stored in a mala sub-folder with '''exactly''' the same name as the layout<br />
<br />
B) Just have the graphics in the mala folder (messy but works the same)<br />
<br />
A) To change between these ways of operating go to options-gui-layout 'use layout name for directory names', see pic:<br />
[[Image:MalaLayoutName.jpg|240px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Q2) I am trying to get mala to recognise my transparent png's created with photoshop and it can't in fact it has trouble with png's from photoshop period. Is there some setting I should use in photoshop to save the png's so they can be read by mala?<br />
<br />
A2) MaLa doesn't support alpha channel transparency. MaLa supports pixel transparency only and the color of the bottom left pixel of an image is used for the transparency color.<br />

<div>==Some cool things about Mala:==<br />
<br />
You may have been using MaLa and have not been aware that MaLa is capable of making your Cab a Cooler place to play!<br />
<br />
Did you know and have you tried?:<br />
<br />
=== Cocktail Table Support === One Cool thing that MaLa does is support users with '''Cocktail tables'''<br />
You have many options depending on how you have wired up your controls.<br />
# '''Controller Detection:''' ([[Mala_Config#Controller_Mapping|Controller - cocktail mapping]]) If you have your controls on each side of the table wired to SEPARATE inputs on your controller you can use this feature. The controls are divided up into sets (the number of sets you need to set up will be the same as the number of sides on your controller you have controllers on..Normally 2 or 3) The game list '''automatically''' will rotate to face the user that moves the joystick (or presses a button on that side). MaLa can also be set to display a different custom list for each side (usually with appropriate games for the controls on that side) and send a different command to MAME (if required).[http://mala.arcadezentrum.com/controllerdetection.html Controller Detection]<br />
# '''Auto Game List Change on Rotation''' ([[Mala_Config#Options|Mame config-Options]]) This is similar to the above but the rotation is done maunally (by an allocated key). The game list will change depending on whether the orientation is horizontal or vertical.<br />
<br />
=== '''Encoder programming'''=== <br />
<br />
Mala can re-program your keybaord encoder 'on the fly' for every game and/or list.<br />
<br />
=== '''MaLa Tree'''===<br />
The Mala Tree is a menu structure you can use to visually organize your emulators and gamelists. It uses a tree structure, meaning that the elements are organized in levels or "branches".<br />
<br />
[[Mala Tree]]<br />
<br />
=== '''Hotkeys''' ===<br />
[http://mala.arcadezentrum.com/hotkeys.html HotKeys]<br />
<br />
=== '''Filter Lists''' ===<br />
[http://mala.arcadezentrum.com/filter.html Filter]<br />
<br />
=== '''Auto Layout Switching''' ===<br />
MaLa can change your Layout automatically when you change emulators. This is useful if you have a number of layouts and you want to use the one that matches up with your emulator (Style wise)<br />
[http://mala.arcadezentrum.com/layoutnaming.html Layout Switching]<br />
<br />
=== '''Launch normal PC games from MaLa''' ===<br />
By creating shortcuts to your PC games (or programs) in a folder you can get MaLa to launch them.<br />
http://mala.arcadezentrum.com/screenshots/emuconf7.gif<br />
<br />
Also Have a look at this post:<br />
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=68772.msg701550#msg701550<br />
<br />
=== '''Use Marquees/Pics instead of text for my gamelists''' ===<br />
In the layout Editor, while Haveing the gamelist selected,<br />
View-object properties and check the 'Image list'<br />
From there you can decide from further options if you want to display Marquees or Snaps in the place of text<br />
[[Image:MaLaEd1.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
=== '''Animation Layouts:''' ===<br />

<div>== Roms not shown correctly ==<br />
'''Q:''' Why do my games list show many more games than I have ROMs in my Roms folder?<br />
<br />
'''A:''' Make sure you set Options-Mame Config-Basics Collect(Only Games with Rom)<br />
<br />
== How to skip games in list? ==<br />
'''Q:''' How can I skip games in the list like MameWah does by hitting the joystick Left and right?<br />
<br />
'''A:''' This can all be set in options-controller-keyboard-basic. You can set it to skip by page,number of items or letter.<br />
<br />
== I have some scroll problem? ==<br />
'''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.<br />
<br />
== What is MaLaKeyHook.dll for? ==<br />
'''A:''' MaLaKeyHook.dll is for the emulator exit hook but can be replaced by HotKeys on XP or newer systems. The HotKey stuff does not work with fullscreen DirectX apps (emus) on Win98 systems.<br />
<br />
== I have some scroll problem? == <br />
'''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.<br />
<br />
'''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<br />
<br />
== Is there an Official MaLa Forum? ==<br />
Yes ..... [[Mala_Forum|Mala Forum]]<br />
<br />
== List scroll too slow ==<br />
'''Q:''' How do I make MaLa Game list scroll really fast straight away?<br />
<br />
'''A:''' You need to have the following set:<br />
<br />
* Speed the video<br />
From the main list screen, right-click > options > GUI tab > Options Tab > <br />
<br />
Enable display delay set to 100<br />
Tick only "text" under exceptions and leave the rest switched off<br />
<br />
* Speed the input<br />
From the main list screen, right-click > options > Controller tab > Keyboard Tab > Options Tab ><br />
<br />
Key repeat (ms) set to 50<br />
<br />
* Speed the animation<br />
From the main list screen, right-click > options > Controller tab > Options Tab ><br />
<br />
Check the "use scrolling acceleration" box<br />
Acceleration speed 8<br />
<br />
This should make MaLa Scroll very fast pretty much straight away...<br />
<br />
If the speed is acceptable you can allow exceptions to the display delay (Test individually) The effect will vary depending on your PC speed.<br />
<br />
== When I quit MaLa I want the PC to shut down too. Can this be done? ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Mala_OptionsMEA.JPG|240px|left]] <br />
'''A)''' Yes .<br style="clear:both;"/>[[Image:Mala_OptionsQM.JPG|240px|left]] 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<br />
.<br />
<br style="clear:both;"/><br />
<br />
== Is there a way to have one game list where individual ROMs in that single list use different versions of Mame? ==<br />
. 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?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''A)'''Yep...You Launch With another Key ... See Pic.<br />
Placeholder for the external application command line: rom path, rom name, rom parent name, rom extension and emu name (%path%, %rom%, %parent%, %ext%, %emu%).<br />
[[Image:Mala_MameLE.JPG|240px|left]] <br />
<br />
<br style="clear:both;"/><br />
<br />
== Video Screensaver and Layouts. What codec should I use ? ==<br />
<br />
A) For the Mame video preview set, this codec should be used: http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/ . Warning: Make sure divx is uninstalled before installing the xvid codec. The commonly available console video preview sets are all encoded in divx format, so they will not work with the xvid codec alone. Some members have had luck getting these divx format console video previews to work in Mala using the 'k-lite' codec pack: http://www.k-litecodecpack.com/ . Others have needed to convert them to a xvid format to get them to display correctly and not slow scrolling. This will approximately double their file size so make sure you have the appropriate disk space before taking this route. Many batch video converters are available that can do this for you. Blaze Media Pro is one that has a 15 day full-function free trial which should give you enough time to get a full set converted: http://www.blazemp.com/ .<br />
<br />
== I am using version am mame version .84 or lower. Mala seems to go through it's process of generating the list of games but nothing shows up.????? ==<br />
<br />
A) as you will see at the website 'MaLa is a multi emulator frontend designed for all 32bit Windows operating systems. It supports the Windows command line version of MAME with XML ROM info (> 0.84)'<br />
But having pointed that you can use .79 with MaLa . What you need to do is download a higher a version of mame (like .89) then use that to generate the xml file. (you only need to do that once). Then when that is done use that for for Mame .79.<br />
<br />
== I have 2 Ultrastick 360's wired in through USB, and MaLa isn't doing any switching at all, despite having both joysticks enabled in MaLa and a "set" for each of them. I'm under the impression that it is capable of auto-switching the game list view depending on if someone sitting on player 1 or player 2's side is operating the joystick. I've configured player 1 to use set 1 and player 2 to use set 2, but no list-flips are happening. ? ==<br />
<br />
A) MaLa supports 2 joys and one pov per joystick set (for example on gamepads). So be sure you use J1 up and down in every joystick set for the movement.<br />
Joystick Set 1<br />
One up: J1up<br />
One down: J1down<br />
Joystick Set 2<br />
One up: J1up<br />
One down: J1down<br />
and not: J2up and J2 down. <- This is the second joystick and the same joy controller and the U360 has only one joystick .....<br />
<br />
An Example: I have two U360 sticks and can use both at the same time to scroll through the list. <br />
<br />
For each joystick you can define 2 sticks (J1 AND J2), a POV control and 12 buttons. Maybe its a bit confusing to use J1 in the set for joystick 2 but this is the first stick on joystick 2.<br />
<br />
A gamepad for example can have two analog sticks, a digital stick and buttons. <br />
<br />
== Q) When i hold down on the joystick (mapped to the down arrow on the keyboard) it will go down to the next game but the screenshot will not display until i let go of the joystick. What should be happening is that i hold down, it scrolls, and when i let go. ==<br />
<br />
A) If you are using an older I-Pac be aware I-pac does not do 'auto scrolling' on all imputs.<br />
From the website:<br />

You can buy a different chip for them here:<br />

Acceleration speed 8<br />
<br />
This should make MaLa Scroll very fast pretty much straight away...<br />
<br />
If the speed is acceptable you can allow exceptions to the display delay (Test individually) The effect will vary depending on your PC speed.<br />

== Video Screensaver and Layouts. What codec should I use ? ==<br />
<br />
A) For the Mame video preview set, this codec should be used: http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/ . Warning: Make sure divx is uninstalled before installing the xvid codec. The commonly available console video preview sets are all encoded in divx format, so they will not work with the xvid codec alone. Some members have had luck getting these divx format console video previews to work in Mala using the 'k-lite' codec pack: http://www.k-litecodecpack.com/ . Others have needed to convert them to a xvid format to get them to display correctly and not slow scrolling. This will approximately double their file size so make sure you have the appropriate disk space before taking this route. Many batch video converters are available that can do this for you. Blaze Media Pro is one that has a 15 day full-function free trial which should give you enough time to get a full set converted: http://www.blazemp.com/ .<br />
<br />
== I am using version am mame version .84 or lower. Mala seems to go through it's process of generating the list of games but nothing shows up.????? ==<br />
<br />
A) as you will see at the website 'MaLa is a multi emulator frontend designed for all 32bit Windows operating systems. It supports the Windows command line version of MAME with XML ROM info (> 0.84)'<br />
But having pointed that you can use .79 with MaLa . What you need to do is download a higher a version of mame (like .89) then use that to generate the xml file. (you only need to do that once). Then when that is done use that for for Mame .79.<br />
<br />
== I have 2 Ultrastick 360's wired in through USB, and MaLa isn't doing any switching at all, despite having both joysticks enabled in MaLa and a "set" for each of them. I'm under the impression that it is capable of auto-switching the game list view depending on if someone sitting on player 1 or player 2's side is operating the joystick. I've configured player 1 to use set 1 and player 2 to use set 2, but no list-flips are happening. ? ==<br />
<br />
A) MaLa supports 2 joys and one pov per joystick set (for example on gamepads). So be sure you use J1 up and down in every joystick set for the movement.<br />
Joystick Set 1<br />
One up: J1up<br />
One down: J1down<br />
Joystick Set 2<br />
One up: J1up<br />
One down: J1down<br />
and not: J2up and J2 down. <- This is the second joystick and the same joy controller and the U360 has only one joystick .....<br />
<br />
An Example: I have two U360 sticks and can use both at the same time to scroll through the list. <br />
<br />
For each joystick you can define 2 sticks (J1 AND J2), a POV control and 12 buttons. Maybe its a bit confusing to use J1 in the set for joystick 2 but this is the first stick on joystick 2.<br />
<br />
A gamepad for example can have two analog sticks, a digital stick and buttons. <br />
<br />
== Q) When i hold down on the joystick (mapped to the down arrow on the keyboard) it will go down to the next game but the screenshot will not display until i let go of the joystick. What should be happening is that i hold down, it scrolls, and when i let go. ==<br />
<br />
A) If you are using an older I-Pac be aware I-pac does not do 'auto scrolling' on all imputs.<br />

<div><br />
== Roms not shown correctly ==<br />
'''Q:''' Why do my games list show many more games than I have ROMs in my Roms folder?<br />
<br />
'''A:''' Make sure you set Options-Mame Config-Basics Collect(Only Games with Rom)<br />
<br />
== How to skip games in list? ==<br />
'''Q:''' How can I skip games in the list like MameWah does by hitting the joystick Left and right?<br />
<br />
'''A:''' This can all be set in options-controller-keyboard-basic. You can set it to skip by page,number of items or letter.<br />
<br />
== I have some scroll problem? ==<br />
'''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.<br />
<br />
== What is MaLaKeyHook.dll for? ==<br />
'''Q:''' MaLaKeyHook.dll is for the emulator exit hook but can be replaced by HotKeys on XP or newer systems. The HotKey stuff does not work with fullscreen DirectX apps (emus) on Win98 systems.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''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<br />
<br />
== Is there an Official MaLa Forum? ==<br />
Yes ..... [[Mala_Forum|Mala Forum]]<br />
<br />
== List scroll too slow ==<br />
'''Q:''' How do I make MaLa Game list scroll really fast straight away?<br />
<br />
'''A:''' You need to have the following set:<br />
<br />
* Speed the video<br />
From the main list screen, right-click > options > GUI tab > Options Tab > <br />
<br />
Enable display delay set to 100<br />
Tick only "text" under exceptions and leave the rest switched off<br />
<br />
* Speed the input<br />
From the main list screen, right-click > options > Controller tab > Keyboard Tab > Options Tab ><br />
<br />
Key repeat (ms) set to 50<br />
<br />
* Speed the animation<br />
From the main list screen, right-click > options > Controller tab > Options Tab ><br />
<br />
Check the "use scrolling acceleration" box<br />
Acceleration speed 8<br />
<br />
This should make MaLa Scroll very fast pretty much straight away...<br />
<br />
If the speed is acceptable you can allow exceptions to the display delay (Test individually) The effect will vary depending on your PC speed.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''[http://www.jukeplugsys.com Jukebox Plugins]''' are bit of 'add on' software that is controlled by your Juke-box software.<br />
<br />
[[Image:http://www.jukeplugsys.com/logo.png]]<br />
<br />
==BackGround==<br />
<br />
In early 2008 a standard set of commands was agreed upon by jukebox software authors '''Space Fractal''' (MultiJuke) and '''UncleT''' (UncleT's Jukebox) with a goal of allowing plugIns to be created which would be compatible with any jukebox software which supports this standard. With some input from other interested parties ('''loadman''' and '''headkaze''') a global standard was created.<br><br />
<br />
The standard is known as the <b>Jukebox PlugIn System (JPS)</b> (or '''[http://www.jukeplugsys.com JukePlugSys]''').<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Jukebox software which supports the JPS standard are listed below:'''<br />
<br />
* '''[http://unclet.arcadecontrols.com/Jukebox UncleT's Jukebox]''' By Uncle'T<br />
* '''[http://www.multijuke.com MultiJuke]''' By Space Fractal<br />
* '''[http://www.freeboxjukebox.com Freebox Jukebox]''' By Barcrest ''<--- currently in progress of adding JPS standard''<br />
* '''[http://www.audiovisualdevices.com.au/software/aussiejuke/aussiejuke.php Aussie Juke]''' By David Duffy<br />
<br />
==How To Use a Plug-In==<br />
<br />
Download the plug-in and place it in the 'plugins' subfolder of your jukebox software. You can then configure the plugin with your specific requirements by going into the jukebox software, locating the plugin and clicking the provided configuration button.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
==JPS SDK description==<br />
<br />
Note: This development section is only of any real interest to Jukebox software authors and Plug-in authors. Any details on how to use a plug-in will be provided with that plug-in.<br />
<br />
<b><u>MAIN PLUGIN CONTROL FUNCTIONS:</u></b><br />
<br />
<br />
PCHAR Juke_GetPluginInfo()<br><br />

<br />
<br />
int Juke_Shutdown(value)<br><br />
Shuts down the plugin when the Jukebox Software ends. Returns 1 when successful.<br />
<br />
<br />
int Juke_Configure(HWND hWndParent)<br><br />
Invokes the plugin configuration screen with the jukebox application's window ID. The plugin can use this as it's parent window, so the configuration window can have the current focus. If a jukebox application does not know what it is, this can been set to 0.<br />
<br />
<br />
PCHAR Juke_Command(PChar Name, PChar Value)<br><br />
Sends a command(event) (ASCII formatted) with a name and a value to the plugin. The plugin can return a string pointer to a jukebox software (ASCII formatted) as well (when required).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>PLUGIN EVENT COMMANDS:</u></b> (double-quotes are not included in the text string which is sent)<br />
<br />
<br />
Juke_Command(JUKE_PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE, "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|createValueStr")<br> <br />
This command is used to create(define) a jukebox-specific event which can be sent/received to/from the plugin at any time. One of these commands are sent for each specific event which is defined and are sent to the plugin when the jukebox first starts. The command informs the plugin about "extra" events (which are not defined by the JPS standard).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)</i></b> = jukebox-specific event name<br />
<br />
<b><i>createValueStr</i></b> = text string indicating which types of values are allowed to be sent/received to/from the plugin. This string consists of any of the following text values listed below. Multiple values are space delimited. <br />
<br />
<br />
<i>ENABLE</i> = allow the user to provide input or invoke change (ie: allow users to delete queued songs)<br />
<br />
<i>DISABLE</i> = do not allow user to provide input or invoke change (ex: do not allow users to delete queued songs)<br />
<br />
<i>NUMBER</i> = number can be provided (ex: set volume level)<br />
<br />
<i>LETTER</i> = letter can be provided (ex: jump to album covers starting with a certain letter). <br />
<br />
<i>ON</i> = feature/setting was turned on (ex: mute volume, repeat song)<br />
<br />
<i>OFF</i> = feature/setting was turned off (ex: mute volume, repeat song)<br />
<br />
<i>KEYDOWN</i> = button has been pressed<br />
<br />
<i>KEYUP</i> = button has been released<br />
<br />
<i>KEYCLICK</i> = button has been pressed and released<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>Examples:</u><br />
<br />
1) To indicate whether something is on or off then the following command would be created:<br />
<i>JukeCommand("PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|ON OFF")</i><br />
<br />
<br />
2) To indicate a number or letter can be associated with the event:<br />
<i>JukeCommand("PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|NUMBER LETTER")</i><br />
<br />
<br />
3) To indicate you can enable or disable (like lights) something as well as indicating you can receive some keyEvent for it:<br />
<i>JukeCommand("PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|ENABLE DISABLE KEYDOWN KEYUP KEYCLICK")</i><br />
<br />
<br />
4) Now, "just for fun" lets say there is an event which allows the plugin to enable/disable it, also allows it to enter a number and a letter:<br />
<i>JukeCommand("PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|ENABLE DISABLE NUMBER LETTER")</i><br />
<br />
<br />
Juke_Command("JUKE_PLUGIN_EVENT_SEND", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|sendValueStr")<br><br />
Sends a previously created/defined jukebox-specific event to the plugin.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)</i></b> = event name previously created by the "JUKE_PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE" command<br />
<br />
<b><i>sendValueStr</i></b> = one of the "createValueStr" values listed above <br />
<br />
<br />
retValStr = Juke_Command("JUKE_PLUGIN_EVENT_GET", nullString)<br><br />
This command is continuously sent to the plugin so the plugin can then return an event string value to indicate an event in which the jukebox software should execute.<br />
<br />
'''Please Note: Some jukebox software does not like " in the returned string, so do NOT add them here'''<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>retValStr</i></b> = text string in the following format --> "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|valueStr"<br />

A variety of '''Software''' and '''Emulators''' allow you to play a huge number of arcade, console and PC games on a computer. The software used as a foundation of a home arcade machine generally consists of an ''emulator(s)'' to run specific games (called ''roms'') on a computer and a ''front-end'' to provide a menu system to allow players to select from a list of games. Recently, the desire for multiple uses of an arcade cabinet and/or enhancing the game-playing experience have brought about the use of additional software, perhaps to play a PC game, allow use of the cabinet as a jukebox, or for lighting and configuration enhancements.<br />
<br />
Software has gone through great leaps and bounds since the inception of this hobby. As an example, in the late 90's, a common route many people were choosing was the [http://www.mameworld.net/pc2jamma/ PC2Jamma] method originally conceived and implemented by Brian Lewis. Typically, MAME was used as a game emulator, ArcadeOS as the front-end, and DOS as the operating system, since this allowed the use of real arcade monitors. Since then, hardware has been developed to make using an arcade monitor from other operating systems simple, and more complex front-ends and emulators have been developed to utilize PC hardware better. <br />

|Text=<br />
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.<br />
<br />
* '''Snap:''' Path to a listing with image files (bmp, jpg, png). <br />
<br />
* '''Marquee:''' Path to a listing with image files (bmp, jpg, png). <br />

* '''Emulator:''' If this option is marked, MaLa looks for a layout with the name of the emulator with an emulator change and loads this. <br />
<br />
* '''Gamelist:''' If this option is marked, MaLa looks for a layout with the name of the Gamelist with a Gamelistwechsel and loads this. <br />
<br />
'''References to the naming of the layouts for the layout SWITCH function:'''<br />
* The layout for MAME must be called mame.mll. <br />
* The layout for not MAME emulators must be called like the name of the emulator. (Emu: C64 ? layout: c64.mll) <br />
* The layout for the Jukebox must be called jukebox.mll. <br />
<br />
Additionally still another change of the layout is with the change of the Gamelist takes place applies the following: <br />
To the Main Gamelist applies standing above. (mame.mll, emulatorname.mll)<br />
To all other Gamelist applies: emulatorname_gamelistname.mll<br />
<br />
An example of MAME:<br><br />
Layout for the Main Gamelist: mame.mll<br />
Layout for the MAME Gamelist Fighter: mame_fighter.mll<br />
Layout for the MAME Gamelist Shooter: mame_shooter.mll<br><br />
An example of the not MAME emulator C64:<br />
Layout for the Main Gameliste: c64.mll<br />
Layout for the C64 Gamelist Fighter: c64_fighter.mll<br />
Layout for the C64 Gamelist Shooter: c64_shooter.mll<br />
<br />
'''''Note:'''''<br />
* If MaLa could not find the layout for the gamelist, the emulator layout is used..<br />
* If MaLa could not find the layout for the emulator, standard.mll is been used.<br />
<br />
'''''Other options:'''''<br />
* '''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.<br />
* '''Use Sounds:''' Disable sound FX, used by the layout.<br />
* '''Background Music:''' Disable Background Music, used by the layout. <br />

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.<br />

* '''Emulator:''' If this option is marked, MaLa looks for a layout with the name of the emulator with an emulator change and loads this. <br />
<br />
* '''Gamelist:''' If this option is marked, MaLa looks for a layout with the name of the Gamelist with a Gamelistwechsel and loads this. <br />
<br />
'''References to the naming of the layouts for the layout SWITCH function:'''<br />
* The layout for MAME must be called mame.mll. <br />
* The layout for not MAME emulators must be called like the name of the emulator. (Emu: C64 ? layout: c64.mll) <br />
* The layout for the Jukebox must be called jukebox.mll. <br />
<br />
Additionally still another change of the layout is with the change of the Gamelist takes place applies the following: <br />
To the Main Gamelist applies standing above. (mame.mll, emulatorname.mll)<br />
To all other Gamelist applies: emulatorname_gamelistname.mll<br />
<br />
An example of MAME:<br><br />
Layout for the Main Gamelist: mame.mll<br />
Layout for the MAME Gamelist Fighter: mame_fighter.mll<br />
Layout for the MAME Gamelist Shooter: mame_shooter.mll<br><br />
An example of the not MAME emulator C64:<br />
Layout for the Main Gameliste: c64.mll<br />
Layout for the C64 Gamelist Fighter: c64_fighter.mll<br />
Layout for the C64 Gamelist Shooter: c64_shooter.mll<br />
<br />
'''''Note:'''''<br />
* If MaLa could not find the layout for the gamelist, the emulator layout is used..<br />
* If MaLa could not find the layout for the emulator, standard.mll is been used.<br />
<br />
'''''Other options:'''''<br />
* '''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.<br />
* '''Use Sounds:''' Disable sound FX, used by the layout.<br />
* '''Background Music:''' Disable Background Music, used by the layout. <br />

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. <br />
<br />
* '''Name:''' Name of the emulator and/or the layout. <br />
* '''Executable:''' Executable file of the emulator. <br />
* '''Rom Path:''' Path to ROM files for the emulator. <br />
* '''Rom Extension:''' ROM file extension used by the emulator.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The following parameters are used when the emulator is called:'''<br />
* Send Rom extension: The extension is also passed to the emulator. <br />
* Send full ROM path: The absolute path of the ROM file is passed to the emulator. <br />
* Ratio Rom path: The ROM path file is set in quotation marks.<br />
<br />
Examples:<br><br />
Executable: c:\emu.exe<br />
Extension: zip<br><br />
Roms path: c:\roms<br />
Send ROM extension: off<br />
Send full roms path: off<br />
Ratio? Rome path: out<br><br />
= c:\emu.exe roms<br><br />
Send Rome extension: on<br />
Send full Rome path: off<br />
Ratio? Roms path: off<br />
= c:\emu.exe rom.zip<br><br />
Send Roms extension: on<br />
Send full Rome path: on<br />
Ratio Rome path: on<br />
= c:\emu.exe "c:\roms\rom.zip"<br><br />
<br />
* '''Specially parameters:''' Further call parameters for the emulator. E.g. a parameter for the Fullscreen mode etc.<br />

{{Mala_Config|File=Mala_OptionsOO<br />
|Text=<br />
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.<br />
<br />
* '''Snap:''' Path to a listing with image files (bmp, jpg, png). <br />
<br />
* '''Marquee:''' Path to a listing with image files (bmp, jpg, png). <br />

|Text=<br />
The layout can be selected here, if no automatic layout change is activated. Layout is same as a skins. <br />
<br />
'''Auto layout SWITCH''' <br />
* '''Emulator:''' If this option is marked, MaLa looks for a layout with the name of the emulator with an emulator change and loads this. <br />
<br />
* '''Gamelist:''' If this option is marked, MaLa looks for a layout with the name of the Gamelist with a Gamelistwechsel and loads this. <br />
<br />
'''References to the naming of the layouts for the layout SWITCH function:'''<br />
* The layout for MAME must be called mame.mll. <br />
* The layout for not MAME emulators must be called like the name of the emulator. (Emu: C64 ? layout: c64.mll) <br />
* The layout for the Jukebox must be called jukebox.mll. <br />
<br />
Additionally still another change of the layout is with the change of the Gamelist takes place applies the following: <br />
To the Main Gamelist applies standing above. (mame.mll, emulatorname.mll)<br />
To all other Gamelist applies: emulatorname_gamelistname.mll<br />
<br />
An example of MAME:<br><br />
Layout for the Main Gamelist: mame.mll<br />
Layout for the MAME Gamelist Fighter: mame_fighter.mll<br />
Layout for the MAME Gamelist Shooter: mame_shooter.mll<br><br />
An example of the not MAME emulator C64:<br />
Layout for the Main Gameliste: c64.mll<br />
Layout for the C64 Gamelist Fighter: c64_fighter.mll<br />
Layout for the C64 Gamelist Shooter: c64_shooter.mll<br />
<br />
'''''Note:'''''<br />
* If MaLa could not find the layout for the gamelist, the emulator layout is used..<br />
* If MaLa could not find the layout for the emulator, standard.mll is been used.<br />
<br />
'''''Other options:'''''<br />
* '''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.<br />
* '''Use Sounds:''' Disable sound FX, used by the layout.<br />
* '''Background Music:''' Disable Background Music, used by the layout. <br />
* '''Animation:''' Disable the animation in the layout.<br />

Nearly scrolling <br />
Enable<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
* '''Display delay''': The delay specifies, with which pictures, videos, texts and the MaLa hardware after a Scrollstop are updated. <br />
* '''Exceptions''': **Text: Texts are not retarded spent, but always updated with the Scrollen. <br />
** MaLa hardware<br />
**LCD and LEDs are not retarded spent, but always updated with the Scrollen. <br />

<hr />
<div>'''[http://www.jukeplugsys.com Jukebox Plugins]''' are bit of 'add on' software that is controlled by your Juke-box software.<br />
<br />
<br />
==BackGround==<br />
<br />
In early 2008 a standard set of commands was agreed upon by jukebox software authors '''Space Fractal''' (MultiJuke) and '''UncleT''' (UncleT's Jukebox) with a goal of allowing plugIns to be created which would be compatible with any jukebox software which supports this standard. With some input from other interested parties ('''loadman''' and '''headkaze''') a global standard was created.<br><br />
<br />
The standard is known as the <b>Jukebox PlugIn System (JPS)</b> (or '''[http://www.jukeplugsys.com JukePlugSys]''').<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Jukebox software which supports the JPS standard are listed below:'''<br />
<br />
* '''[http://unclet.arcadecontrols.com/Jukebox UncleT's Jukebox]''' By Uncle'T<br />
* '''[http://www.multijuke.com MultiJuke]''' By Space Fractal<br />
* '''[http://www.freeboxjukebox.com Freebox Jukebox]''' By Barcrest ''<--- currently in progress of adding JPS standard''<br />
<br />
==How To Use a Plug-In==<br />
<br />
Download the plug-in and place it in the 'plugins' subfolder of your jukebox software. You can then configure the plugin with your specific requirements by going into the jukebox software, locating the plugin and clicking the provided configuration button.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
==JPS SDK description==<br />
<br />
Note: This development section is only of any real interest to Jukebox software authors and Plug-in authors. Any details on how to use a plug-in will be provided with that plug-in.<br />
<br />
<b><u>MAIN PLUGIN CONTROL FUNCTIONS:</u></b><br />
<br />
<br />
PCHAR Juke_GetPluginInfo()<br><br />
Return a string with plugin info in the following format ---> <br />
"NAME + | + AUTHOR + | + VERSION + | + DESCRIPTION"<br />
<br />
<br />
int Juke_Initialize(value)<br><br />
Inits the plugin when the Jukebox Software starts. Returns 1 when successful.<br />
<br />
<br />
int Juke_Shutdown(value)<br><br />
Shuts down the plugin when the Jukebox Software ends. Returns 1 when successful.<br />
<br />
<br />
int Juke_Configure(HWND hWndParent)<br><br />
Invokes the plugin configuration screen with the jukebox application's window ID. The plugin can use this as it's parent window, so the configuration window can have the current focus. If a jukebox application does not know what it is, this can been set to 0.<br />
<br />
<br />
PCHAR Juke_Command(PChar Name, PChar Value)<br><br />
Sends a command(event) (ASCII formatted) with a name and a value to the plugin. The plugin can return a string pointer to a jukebox software (ASCII formatted) as well (when required).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>PLUGIN EVENT COMMANDS:</u></b> (double-quotes are not included in the text string which is sent)<br />
<br />
<br />
Juke_Command(JUKE_PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE, "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|createValueStr")<br> <br />
This command is used to create(define) a jukebox-specific event which can be sent/received to/from the plugin at any time. One of these commands are sent for each specific event which is defined and are sent to the plugin when the jukebox first starts. The command informs the plugin about "extra" events (which are not defined by the JPS standard).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)</i></b> = jukebox-specific event name<br />
<br />
<b><i>createValueStr</i></b> = text string indicating which types of values are allowed to be sent/received to/from the plugin. This string consists of any of the following text values listed below. Multiple values are space delimited. <br />
<br />
<br />
<i>ENABLE</i> = allow the user to provide input or invoke change (ie: allow users to delete queued songs)<br />
<br />
<i>DISABLE</i> = do not allow user to provide input or invoke change (ex: do not allow users to delete queued songs)<br />
<br />
<i>NUMBER</i> = number can be provided (ex: set volume level)<br />
<br />
<i>LETTER</i> = letter can be provided (ex: jump to album covers starting with a certain letter). <br />
<br />
<i>ON</i> = feature/setting was turned on (ex: mute volume, repeat song)<br />
<br />
<i>OFF</i> = feature/setting was turned off (ex: mute volume, repeat song)<br />
<br />
<i>KEYDOWN</i> = button has been pressed<br />
<br />
<i>KEYUP</i> = button has been released<br />
<br />
<i>KEYCLICK</i> = button has been pressed and released<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>Examples:</u><br />
<br />
1) To indicate whether something is on or off then the following command would be created:<br />
<i>JukeCommand("PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|ON OFF")</i><br />
<br />
<br />
2) To indicate a number or letter can be associated with the event:<br />
<i>JukeCommand("PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|NUMBER LETTER")</i><br />
<br />
<br />
3) To indicate you can enable or disable (like lights) something as well as indicating you can receive some keyEvent for it:<br />
<i>JukeCommand("PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|ENABLE DISABLE KEYDOWN KEYUP KEYCLICK")</i><br />
<br />
<br />
4) Now, "just for fun" lets say there is an event which allows the plugin to enable/disable it, also allows it to enter a number and a letter:<br />
<i>JukeCommand("PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|ENABLE DISABLE NUMBER LETTER")</i><br />
<br />
<br />
Juke_Command("JUKE_PLUGIN_EVENT_SEND", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|sendValueStr")<br><br />
Sends a previously created/defined jukebox-specific event to the plugin.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b><i>sendValueStr</i></b> = one of the "createValueStr" values listed above <br />
<br />
<br />
retValStr = Juke_Command("JUKE_PLUGIN_EVENT_GET", nullString)<br><br />
This command is continuously sent to the plugin so the plugin can then return an event string value to indicate an event in which the jukebox software should execute.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>retValStr</i></b> = text string in the following format --> "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|valueStr"<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>'''[http://www.jukeplugsys.com Jukebox Plugins]''' are bit of 'add on' software that is controlled by your Juke-box software.<br />
<br />
<br />
==BackGround==<br />
<br />
In early 2008 a standard set of commands was agreed upon by jukebox software authors '''Space Fractal''' (MultiJuke) and '''UncleT''' (UncleT's Jukebox) with a goal of allowing plugIns to be created which would be compatible with any jukebox software which supports this standard. With some input from other interested parties ('''loadman''' and '''headkaze''') a global standard was created.<br><br />
<br />
The standard is known as the <b>Jukebox PlugIn System (JPS)</b> (or '''[http://www.jukeplugsys.com JukePlugSys]''').<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Jukebox software which supports the JPS standard are listed below:'''<br />
<br />
* '''[http://unclet.arcadecontrols.com/Jukebox UncleT's Jukebox]''' By Uncle'T<br />
* '''[http://www.multijuke.com MultiJuke]''' By Space Fractal<br />
* '''[http://www.freeboxjukebox.com Freebox Jukebox]''' By Barcrest ''<--- currently in progress of adding JPS standard''<br />
<br />
==How To Use a Plug-In==<br />
<br />
Download the plug-in and place it in the 'plugins' subfolder of your jukebox software. You can then configure the plugin with your specific requirements by going into the jukebox software, locating the plugin and clicking the provided configuration button.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />

<br />
<b><u>MAIN PLUGIN CONTROL FUNCTIONS:</u></b><br />
<br />
Note: This development section is only of any real interest to Jukebox software authors and Plug-in authors. Any details on how to use a plug-in will be provided with that plug-in.<br />
<br />
PCHAR Juke_GetPluginInfo()<br><br />
Return a string with plugin info in the following format ---> <br />
"NAME + | + AUTHOR + | + VERSION + | + DESCRIPTION"<br />
<br />
<br />
int Juke_Initialize(value)<br><br />
Inits the plugin when the Jukebox Software starts. Returns 1 when successful.<br />
<br />
<br />
int Juke_Shutdown(value)<br><br />
Shuts down the plugin when the Jukebox Software ends. Returns 1 when successful.<br />
<br />
<br />
int Juke_Configure(HWND hWndParent)<br><br />
Invokes the plugin configuration screen with the jukebox application's window ID. The plugin can use this as it's parent window, so the configuration window can have the current focus. If a jukebox application does not know what it is, this can been set to 0.<br />
<br />
<br />
PCHAR Juke_Command(PChar Name, PChar Value)<br><br />
Sends a command(event) (ASCII formatted) with a name and a value to the plugin. The plugin can return a string pointer to a jukebox software (ASCII formatted) as well (when required).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>PLUGIN EVENT COMMANDS:</u></b> (double-quotes are not included in the text string which is sent)<br />
<br />
<br />
Juke_Command(JUKE_PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE, "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|createValueStr")<br> <br />
This command is used to create(define) a jukebox-specific event which can be sent/received to/from the plugin at any time. One of these commands are sent for each specific event which is defined and are sent to the plugin when the jukebox first starts. The command informs the plugin about "extra" events (which are not defined by the JPS standard).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)</i></b> = jukebox-specific event name<br />
<br />
<b><i>createValueStr</i></b> = text string indicating which types of values are allowed to be sent/received to/from the plugin. This string consists of any of the following text values listed below. Multiple values are space delimited. <br />
<br />
<br />
<i>ENABLE</i> = allow the user to provide input or invoke change (ie: allow users to delete queued songs)<br />
<br />
<i>DISABLE</i> = do not allow user to provide input or invoke change (ex: do not allow users to delete queued songs)<br />
<br />
<i>NUMBER</i> = number can be provided (ex: set volume level)<br />
<br />
<i>LETTER</i> = letter can be provided (ex: jump to album covers starting with a certain letter). <br />
<br />
<i>ON</i> = feature/setting was turned on (ex: mute volume, repeat song)<br />
<br />
<i>OFF</i> = feature/setting was turned off (ex: mute volume, repeat song)<br />
<br />
<i>KEYDOWN</i> = button has been pressed<br />
<br />
<i>KEYUP</i> = button has been released<br />
<br />
<i>KEYCLICK</i> = button has been pressed and released<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>Examples:</u><br />
<br />
1) To indicate whether something is on or off then the following command would be created:<br />
<i>JukeCommand("PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|ON OFF")</i><br />
<br />
<br />
2) To indicate a number or letter can be associated with the event:<br />
<i>JukeCommand("PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|NUMBER LETTER")</i><br />
<br />
<br />
3) To indicate you can enable or disable (like lights) something as well as indicating you can receive some keyEvent for it:<br />
<i>JukeCommand("PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|ENABLE DISABLE KEYDOWN KEYUP KEYCLICK")</i><br />
<br />
<br />
4) Now, "just for fun" lets say there is an event which allows the plugin to enable/disable it, also allows it to enter a number and a letter:<br />
<i>JukeCommand("PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|ENABLE DISABLE NUMBER LETTER")</i><br />
<br />
<br />
Juke_Command("JUKE_PLUGIN_EVENT_SEND", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|sendValueStr")<br><br />
Sends a previously created/defined jukebox-specific event to the plugin.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)</i></b> = event name previously created by the "JUKE_PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE" command<br />
<br />
<b><i>sendValueStr</i></b> = one of the "createValueStr" values listed above <br />
<br />
<br />
retValStr = Juke_Command("JUKE_PLUGIN_EVENT_GET", nullString)<br><br />
This command is continuously sent to the plugin so the plugin can then return an event string value to indicate an event in which the jukebox software should execute.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>retValStr</i></b> = text string in the following format --> "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|valueStr"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Right Click to copy the selcted game to another Game list<br />
* Most Played<br />
<br />
The most played games will automatically be created. This is based on the tally amount of times the games are launched.<br />
<br />
* Create Custom Gamelist:<br><br />
You can filter your games and create custom game list using a nice utility called ROMLister. You can download ROMLister from this link http://www.waste.org/~winkles/ROMLister/. Simply follow the directions on the ROMLister website. Once the game list is created you can use it in mala, the gamelist editor or Mala tree. I was able to make a list for all Mature games then remove all those games from other list.<br><br />
1. Create the merge filed with ROMLister. [[RL_tutorial_merge | Tutorial]]<br><br />
2. Type Mature in the Find field.<br><br />
3. select Mala Game List for output type.<br><br />
4. open Mala gamelist editor.<br><br />
5. open game list to be modified.<br><br />
6. select all games and move them to the right side.<br><br />
7. Select exclude game list.<br><br />
8. Save as new game list.<br><br />
<br />
This gave me a game list without muture games.<br><br />
<br />
I wrote this from memory so when I get back to my arcade system I will verify and make corrections.<br />
