MALA plus another frontend - is there a way??
« on: June 24, 2011, 07:55:45 am »
I'm building a Star Wars cab (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=111768.0).
I have a custom Star Wars Launcher (www.urbaninteractive.wordpress.com) that launches the 3 Star Wars games, but I'd like to play some of the other yoke-compatible games like Paperboy, Firefox,etc.

I'd like to have the PC boot into MALA (easy), then have a screen that lets you select either the Star Wars Launcher.exe or a MAME list for the other games.
Ideally I'd like to have it go straight to the Star Wars Launcher upon startup.

Can this be done? Maybe batch files are the answer?

Any help would be great.

I wouldn't use the launcher unless it was a dedicated machine - ie: one front end.

If that were the case, then in Instant Sheller, the app shelled would be the launcher.

Thanks man, I'll probably skip the other games in the end. Just wanted to get the max from the yoke.

Me, too. I stuck with Mala. Stay tuned for details.
