Mala not finding roms
« on: December 21, 2010, 05:28:15 pm »
Hi

I've just finished building a cab and its all running good, except Mala.

I've only got MAME setup using MAME32 and it runs all my roms fine when just running MAME32, but when running Mala, I get an error that the files cannot be found for every game. As said, in MAME32 they all run fine.

Mala has been setup to look in the right location as it shows all my roms and its using the very same MAME32 executable.

Any ideas?

EDIT
just found the same problem fixed here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=104854.0) too late to test now, will try tomorrow.

Yes that forum post is probably what you need.

Only the command line version of mame is officially supported by mala. You don't need all the mame32 stuff when running mala anyway.

Anyway, as you will see in that post it will probably just work for you anyway.
