Editing "text" pattern/value in MaLa to add game title
« on: May 16, 2012, 04:31:13 pm »
Although you see the title of each game when selecting it in the menu I also wanted to display the title of each game in another area of my layout.
Im displaying the year in "text 2" adding  ~g_year  in the pattern section and resolution by adding  ~g_resolution  in another "text"

What do I need to add in the pattern section of "text 1" to get the games title? I tried "~g_name" but that just gives me the rom name not the actual full game name

Also, the "Title" box in MaLa only gives the title of mame.





NOTE: I found out, its ~g_description
