Having played around with it for just a few minutes, I have to say that this is really great. I have installed it on my laptop to test out and am anxious to get it on my mame pc. Great job.
Buddabing:
A couple of things I noticed in the "first time config":
- There are "Ja" and "Nein" in a couple of dialog boxes in the English version.
- The toolbar is hidden when the first-time config program is run. I would prefer the toolbar to be accessible, for the purposes of copying files, etc.
- I would like there to be an option of where to put the nplayers.ini and the catver.ini. The program wanted the files in it's own directory and I prefer to have a central location for all frontends to use it.
- Why isn't the config program available after the first time MaLa is run?
- How do I put movies into my MaLa skin?
- More content (skins, background images) would be nice.
- A config program for buttons and controls would be nice.
- I would like an option for the toolbar to appear when the front end is not the topmost application (ie. ALT-TAB)
Regards,
Buddabing
Silver:
Coming along really nicely - Buddabing mentioned most of the stuff I was going to ask - although you can get back to the config by right clicking anywhere while running and selecting it in the menus. no idea how to do this if you are not using a mouse.
I'd ideally like support for the controls.xml not just the .ini version, but I know XML parsing could be a pain to add.
Also regarding the LCD support - are you planning to support any LCD's apart from the Mala Hardware one? An ability to copy txt files out to a com port would suffice (although you've obviously already done a lot of the hard work by having it generate all the details on the fly).

Ahh, ok.

It is. As Silver said just click with your right mouse button anywhere on the screen.

Add the video panel to your layout. Enter the path to your video files in the options dialog.

Sure. Would like it too.

Don't know what you mean exactly. You can redefine all controls and buttons (in the option dialog)

Good idea.
