Individual layout per game?!?

[nintendoid]

Might have been questioned before.. but couldnt find it!

My mala only has about 8 games running (all mame) is it possible to give each game a different layout (similiar to HS)... I know its possible for emulator, just wondered if you can do it per game?

Not a full layout change per game.  

But having said that you can make the layout look very different when you select another game.

A game change triggers change to Video, Snap, Marquee, Control panel and 5 other Definable Image windows. Clever and creative use of that could make the screen look very different from game to game. I hope that helps

Another way will be possible, if you use gamelist switch, using 1 game for 8 diferents gamelist. Hidding the allgames list and checking the box under the options\GUI tab’s “auto layout switch” section.

for use different layouts for mame gamelists remember this.

if your layout of mame is named mame.mll
the new layouts for diferents game list have to be named like this:

mame_gameyouwant.mll

where gameyouwant= is exactly what it means, your favourite game for each layout (bomb jack, robocop, galaxian or what else).

I think it will be possible doing this way...
