Front End Support > MaLa Frontend
A 0 games found workaround for MAME v.162 and later with Mala.
NOP:
Not quite.
What I was saying is that you can create .mlg files with romlister with MAME 162+ that will work fine in mala.
If mala is reading in its own copy of the XML file, perhaps to display an all roms list, then you will still have problems. You could have romlister create an all roms list too, as an .mlg file, and that should work.
Hopefully that didn't just muddy the waters further...

Notepad kept hanging up when trying to open mame.xml, so I copied the XML file from an older version (149) that I have and that worked for me! Copied it to my MAME 173. Thank you!

Hi,
I don't know Mala front-end, but if you need a Mame xml file I have written a program to do this: ADB-Tools. See download section of my web site if you are interested on it.
There is a function on Mame Conversion form to generate an xml file of any release of Mame and then make it compatible with front-end that do not manage node "machine".
Simply select starting file (exe or xml), destination format (xml, txt, csv, etc) and target release compatibility level (with Mala is up to 0.161).
I can also add export feature on my web site if this can be useful. Now there are already 12 formats supported (csv, txt, xml, dat, scripts win/linux, hyperspin, mamewah, attract-mode, etc). The new "Mala" output type could use the Mame xml and replace the node name "machine" with "game" (of course xml content inside will be the same).
Let me know about it.

Just wanted to say this worked just fine with mame 176 and notepad++
thanks!!
will check out romlister as well as that seems like a great way to remove all of the unnecessary games

Thank you for this... I beat my head against this problem for most of today and was at a complete loss before seeing this post. Without this fix, MALA is pretty much obsolete with any newer version of MAME. So glad you posted your solution. :cheers:
