No and I don't want to add this feature. But I think I will add video display to the screensaver.

I got a flash of it to using the latest mame versions, but earlier ones not a problem . I guess due to file size..
Any any case I got around it by having the pic the name of my cab not a 'game launching' picture

Before Mame start, MaLa show the fullscreen Get Ready screen. But when Mame exits, the get ready screen is still here. Is there any way to fix this?

Yes, that is.

I like the option to use another image other than the "Starting" window.
It comes in real handy when I start some of my "PC Games" in which do not play fullscreen. Previously I would be playing these games and still see the MALA display in the background. It seems I will now be able to use an image (ie: all black 1024x768 image), to display first, then start the game. This will result in me being able to play my PC Game and simply seeing a black background now. Anyway, just wanted to let you know, that this feature solved a problem for me other than just trying to replace the "Starting" window with some other picture...... I am using the feature to make sure the background is BLACK for non-full-screen PC Games..... thanks.
I am not home right now, so I can not test this with my encoder and with emulators which use pre-post commands....... so I was wondering whether this image will be displayed only in place of the "Starting" window ..... or will the image be displayed over the "Encoder Config" and "Pre/Post Command" windows which MALA displayed as well when an encoder is being configured and when pre-post commands are used? I would personally prefer that the new starting image would be displayed in place of the "Starting" window only.
Anyway, since other people might not want to see the "Encoder Config" and "Pre-Post Command" windows being displayed either, then perhaps it might be worth adding a couple of options to offer whether they want the "Encoder Config" and "Pre/Post Command Executing" windows to be displayed at all. Actually, having separate options to indicate whether the "Starting", "Encoder Config" and "Pre-Post Command" windows should be displayed would be nice for some people i guess.
People like me..... who use the KE72 encoder (which takes about 7 seconds to load), like to see the "Encoder Config" window popping up so the user can understand what it taking so long .....
Anyway, just an idea ....

First of all, this emulator is pure genius. It opens quick (unlike GameEx), has lots of unique features and overall just kicks ass. That being said, I have some requests:
- Support MNG's for video previews
- Support animated GIFs (would be nice to see this available with the definable's in the layout editor)
- A way to supress the command line window (ie. When MAME is starting a game)
- Key mappings to support selection between emulators and the jukebox, ie. I map a key to page/scroll through my emulators in a left/right/up/down type manner (this might already be possible with the Wrap Emulators option?)
- A way to suppress extra information in game titles, ie. (World) or (2-player) etc.
Keep up the good work!

I have also told Swindus about how nice MALA was and also gave a little via the Donate button .....

If you go into Mame Config/Options/Window State then you can set it to "Hidden" and this should hide the command window when starting a Mame game. Mala offers this option for each emulator....

This is possible if you go into the "Gamelists" tab and select a gamelist (ex: Mame's "All Games" gamelist). Then goto into the "Games" subTab and click the "Edit Game list" button. This will open the MalaGameList application and let you do tons of stuff to manipulate your gamelist. To remove brackets and such, just go into the Gamelist menu option and select "Remove brackets from name". This does not rename your actual Rom files, but simply edits what game name should be displayed in Mala.
