Front End Support > MaLa Frontend
A 0 games found workaround for MAME v.162 and later with Mala.
shredso:
Worked in .179. Thanks!

Hey, thanks from me also, I was stuck with this.
Out of curiosity, what creates mame.xml and what is it used for?
If I modify the file for use in Mala, does this mean mame itself will not have new features enabled because the file is the wrong format?
If I use something like clrmamepro, will that also use that list? will it not work if I make the changes from this post?

Mame itself creates this file. You can create it by going to a cmd prompt, and changing the directory to where Mame is installed. Then if you run the command 'mame -cc' it creates the mame.xml file. The problem it seems is Mala is coded to recognize the file with the references to 'machine' and not 'game'. The frontend coders are at the mercy of the Mame project. If the Mame devs make a change, the frontends have to adapt.

I have changed my mame.xml as stated in the first post, but MaLa always freezes when I check/read the game list. What can I do? This is really frustrating :banghead: :cry:
I use GroovyMAME v.171 and tested MaLa v1.74 and v1.82.
Answer:
Just let the PC on for a long while at the last freez and then it worked.

Damn it, was about to delete everything related to MaLa, because of this fix :). Was stuck on 0 games loaded for few good hours. Thank you.
