Layouts?
« on: December 30, 2010, 02:25:43 pm »
I snagged several layouts from Mala's main site & some worked & some did not. I liked the N64 & NES layouts there, but they would not show up for me when I tried installing them.

Does anyone have a scalable Mala layout for N64, Sega Master System and/or NES?

Thanks.  :)

All the layouts work  ;D

Have a look at the MaLa Wiki on how to set them up. Link is on my Signature

Some need files in a folder, others do not

I tried both ways, but I'll take a look @ the Wiki.

Still getting the same issue. The game name list comes up, but the background does not.

I'm actually having trouble with background images at the moment, building from scratch. Hopefully same problem, and thus same answer (",)

I never quite figured out what my problem was, but I had a crude solution that worked. Since most of the work I had put into it thus far was with the graphics, I just canned that file and started editing the file called 'standard' instead, leaving the name the same. Only side effect there is Mala will keep putting the standard pics back in your standard folder. But that's no biggy, so long as you don't call your unique pics the same name  :D

If you enable logging ( In Debug Mode) , it will tell you what file is looking for and where
