I'll have a Windows machine soon; intel processor is shipped and will arrive on Friday. While waiting, I'm getting up to speed on available front ends, compiling mame, etc.

Thanks, I considered that, but noticed the title in the word doc says v1.3, while the filename is labeled 1.8. You can understand my confusion. Thanks for the correction.

Thanks, I just started reading this.
It's DOC file, I prefer to read things with my web browser (FireFox) so I can zoom in and out. So I converted it to HTML, find it attached if you like.
I got to the part that says to make a bunch of folders, I made a batch file from the text to create the folders quickly, attached also.
Then it occurred to me that the folders could be uploaded in a zip file, so I did that too, it's attached.
OK, now let's see if I can get MALA working :)

Hi Guys,
Been using Mala for some time now on a quite old machine. Nothing fancy setup wise, just mame and nes. Everything was simple to set up no problems. I believe it was version 173. Mame version was 141. No fancy setup, just the basics. Machine finally died, so I got new hardware. Now have a AMD A10 processor, 16gb ram. Also took the opportunity to build a new 4 player control panel (using a 2 player with trackball tank stick prior). Anyway, did a fresh install with Windows 7 Pro 64bit. Downloaded the current Mala 1.74, and mame64 (would just like to start completely fresh). Started up Mala for the first time. Specified the Mala64 appication, and when it went to create the ini file, it failed. It reported an error "Attempt to create c:\.......\mame\mame64.ini file failed". After hitting okay, it seemed to create the xml file okay.
Searched the forum here and found a few vague references to this but no real discussions. Is this a mame issue or a mala issue, or both? Not sure what to do from here.
Anyone have any idea what is going on here? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did you happen to go and check to see if it did create it anyways? Will it run at all?
