MALA vs Hyperspin
danny_galaga:
When I finally decided to put a front end on my cocktail cab (after over ten years with just the MAME32 menu!) I downloaded half a dozen front ends and just started playing around with what I could make work. The only one that worked straight away was Mala, and it turns out it has options for rotating monitors, which is handy for me (",)

I also spent quite a bit of time maximizing efficiency. Using a lot of tricks to get it run to smoothly and keeping CPU usage to a minimum. Still the whole thing at times does have a feeling of being in a state of chaos, as programmers seem to come and go, there are bugs to work around etc. The community around it is quite active but not always helpful with your problems. There will be a lot of researching, trial and error.

I solved that problem by running it on a badass pc build. no optimization required. Unlike my mala rig which is running on practically a 486.

Mala is by far the winner for cocktail and rotating displays hands down.

I don't want to be a thread necromancer here but OP looked like he was onto something really cool in his last few posts...
TheShaner what ended up being the results of your themes for both MALA and HyperSpin, and what were your conclusions?

is it just me or is DAZZ completly baised when it comes to hyperspin? dont get me wrong i do like hyper spin but out of all the front ends ive used, hyperspin was the one i had the most trouble setting up and i had to buy it set up on HDD...............mala ,maximus,game ex among athers are so much easier and user friendly.i love gameex i used it for years its the most feature packed frontend period....but if anyone ever disses HS DAZZ seems to take it personal like you just told him his wifes a dog>>>>>>>>>>>>>
