Mala won't launch roms
« on: September 12, 2012, 02:55:57 am »
Hello all.  I need some help.  I'm running mame 0.94 and mala and everything was working perfectly using an old hot rod controller.  I just finished building a cp using an ipac4 and installed it today.  Now, mala is not working.  When I launch a game from mala, a window pops up for a split second and then it dumps back to mala.

When I try playing games via mame32, everything works perfectly.  Any suggestions and help would be very appreciated!  I'm using mala 1.74.

Thanks!

Jason

I'm sorry but I never have used an Ipac but i supo se that you must map the keys in Mala.
Have you mapped them?

Hello jcardona, I am having the exact same problem.  Were you ever able to determine a fix?  I am using MAME 0.122 with an I-Pac2 and had everything working using Hyperspin but wanted to try Mala.  I downloaded version 174 and installed everything and configured it but when I choose a game it opens the game window and shows the dos like window right before the nag screen and then closes and goes right back to the game list in Mala.
