Lists and Emulation Button Setup in Config (v 1.7.1)
« on: October 25, 2010, 02:13:49 pm »
This might be an easy to fix issue but I couldn't wrap my head around it and decided to ask for help.

I recently finished (well, close to 95% finished) the main building phase of a cabinet and used MALA as a front end.  I patterned my build after Knievel's "woody" design.  Of course, his is 50x nicer, but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out for a first try.  Why do I bring this up... well I used his exact "admin panel" design.  I have four buttons below the monitor bezel, from left to right labeled as: 1) LISTS 2) EXIT 3) EMU 4) PAUSE. 

So to get to my issue...

I went into the MALA options, Controller Tab, Basic and set up the LISTS button for "Next List".  I didn't know what to put as "Prev List".  I kept it as left (default).  When I hit the LISTS button on my panel, it cycles through the lists once, but does not wrap around.  I have to use the joystick left to go back.  Is there a way to make the lists wrap?

For the EMU button, set for "Next Emulator" I have the same issue.

Exit and Pause work no problemo.

Just for the fun of it, here's my cab showing the admin panel buttons right below the screen and the Mala layout.  Avert your eyes if you don't like woodgrain cabs.

FWIW, I think your cab came out really nice.

Go to options>gui>gamelists. Select 'wrap games and gamelists', and 'wrap emulators'.

Cool - I will give that a try when I get back home tonight.  Are you sure that is not to wrap a list from top to bottom? 

For example, right now lets say I have 3 game lists:

a) all games
b) mame favorites
c) top played games

if you hit the lists button, it will go from a -> b -> c then hitting the list button does nothing more.

I want it to just keep cycling through endlessly.  a -> b -> c -> a -> b -> c -> a ... ad finitum.

This was exactly what I needed - thanks!
