Getting Mala to show ROM names correctly
« on: August 07, 2010, 07:19:06 pm »
OK, having a brain cramp here. How do I get Mala to show my games names correctly? ie: rom name=blktiger, I want it too show up as Black Tiger in my game list.

I knew how to do this at one time but have forgot apparently.  :banghead:

What if I want to do a different version of Mame that is under the "other emu's" config button. Is there a way to get a .xml file created for that?

Not supported.  There may be a post here directing how to do it though

You can always run multiple versions of mame under the mame configuration instead of using the "other emu's" config.  The link to accomplish this is in loadman's stickied post.
