Are you using avi preview vids?

I got that type of behavior when using an old collection of avi preview vids from a popular rom torrent site.
There was something about the vids for certain games that made Mala crash.
I removed the offending vid and Mala would not longer crash.
Out of a list of 200 games, I had to delete 2 or 3 vids.

yes I am using preview vids, I converted them to mp4, I use Mala1.820, I will have a look in my dir,
thnx for the help!

also I could not find controls.ini file, does that influence on the program?

I think why mala terminates is because it is showing the bios files in the gamelist, it stops woking at Aleck64 PIF BIOS...

ok, I just found this topicą http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=119382.0 with the same problem.
Anyone knows how to get rid of the bios files in Mala wihout using Romlister, I really dont like the program, becouse when I use it my favorite
games don´t show up in the gamelist..


I already put the bios files in a seperate folder.

I had this issue and found someone say to delete the "snap" for it.. Its a 1x1 png.

I deleted it or renamed it and the crashing stopped.

Thnx Buick455! thats it!
I removed a really small png and now I could manually remove the game from the gamelist!

thnx!
