MaLa 1.745: Background music won't start when MaLa starts
« on: December 01, 2011, 01:47:38 am »
Has anyone tried the new MaLa 1.745 BETA?

I had used the 1.74 version, and all worked just fine, until emuMovies decided to discontinue the AVI files and now I need something that supports the mp4 files format.

MaLa 1.745 does support MP4, and it works rather well except for two items I have encountered:
1. The background music won't start when MaLa starts, if I start the music, it will continue to work just fine, but the next time I restart the machine, no background music
2. I have set the exit MaLa function to be the "Shutdown" option, in 1.74 it displayed a "SHUTDOWN?" and now it displays "SHUTDOWN WINDOWS?" - I really don't want to see the "Windows" :).

Any one worked around this?

can't help you with the sound, but to change the text (if you even want any, you could also use an image) just got to layout editor and just like you're "info"-window or any other window it can be changed.

Thank's for the tip, I did exactly just that and I'm happy  ;D

The problem with the background music seems to be a minor problem, it seems that if you enter the option menu and the music stops it won't start when you get back to the front-end, I event think you need to trigger the music on and more forward and backwards with songs to make this background music work in a loop.

For now, Mala 174.5 seems to be pretty nice and stable.
