MaLa development?
djrobx:
Dear Mala authors,
If you no longer are motivated to update Mala, please consider releasing the source code. Having it would allow us to fix little issues like the the new Mame XML format. This front end does a lot of fantastic things that others don't. It's still the only FE I can find that correctly handles a 3 sided cocktail table, for example.
The decision is yours, of course, but either way, thank you for this great work!
As for the virus site warnings, ignore them. The reason for that is explained on the site - there's a key hook DLL that's incorrectly flagged as malicious. That, in turn, will cause the site to be listed as potentially hosting malware. I had no actual trouble with any of the content on the site.

Some issues are: the massive virus warning your site gets, which blocks browsers, i was only willing to even try to bypass it on a crappy old laptop.
controls.ini not found, seems controls.dat is dead these days?
it tries to create mame64.ini all the time, but i think it actually uses mame.ini
The issue mentioned above with the new version of mame.xml
Some improvements, like specifying exact size for things, rather than trying to drag until the dimensions in properties are exactly right...
when you have videos on win10 that play just fine on any software, including windows media, you still have to install 3rd party codecs to get them to work in MaLa
I have some others. If development is really not stopped, let me know, and how I can help!
Thanks
Dave

I have just updated my cab to win 10 so I will need to sort them out so testing would be appreciated

Thanks,
I can't release code as I made a promise to original author.
Apart from that it is riddled with many 3rd part libs that are not cheap.

Really glad to see you back on the site. :)

Been a while since I checked in on this, real life eh....
So I moved to Hyperspin. A lot more effort to "get it right" but it is there now and working well enough with the newer versions of MAME.
If Mala was updated and working 100% again, I would likely go back to it though. Not that I have time to work on my cab, or even play on it these days. :(
