MaLa slow to launch applications?
« on: March 28, 2011, 08:24:14 pm »
I've searched on this.  I have MaLa on my pinball cab.  It will launch mame games fine, but when I use it to launch a shortcut or an EXE (Hyperpin, in this case, but I've tried it on other stuff too), it takes about 60 seconds before the application actually loads.  It normally takes about 4 seconds for hyperpin to pop up. I get the "starting" box for 20-30 seconds, then a black screen for about 20 seconds, then eventually it loads. Everything WORKS, it's just this huge delay.  I looked int he Mala INI and saw some delays in there, but none of them are flagged on with a "1". 

Any ideas?

Are you running out of memory having MaLa and Hyperspin run at the same time?

 :dunno

OK

As I hope you can appreciate I have not great desire to spend my limited time setting up and playing with other FE's  ;D

But if you could change you logging level to 'Debug' (in the credits tab) and post the mala.exe.log file as a zip file I will take a look.

Thanks
