Front End Support > MaLa Frontend
Can Mala display game info for non-Mame emus?
Ninten-doh:
I have Mala set up as my front end and really love it. The only feature I would like to see is text file support for non-Mame emus like Daphne and Visual Pinball. With Mame, my front end looks great with the company, year, controls, etc. listed. When I switch to Daphne and VP, it looks so empty. I'd like to create my own text files with the appropriate info and include it in Mala. Does this option exist and I just don't know how to do it? I'm probably the only idiot who cares about this, but figured I would ask. :)
ChicagoDave:
Good question. Also, can MaLa display the game info if the second emu is also a different version of MAME?
swindus:
The info is stored in the game list files. So it is possible to diplay all these information for any emulator if they are available in the game lists for this emulator.
So the question is not: Can MaLa display this information. The question is: How can I add this information to the game list?
Maybe I will add a edit/custom import function in MalaGamelist in the future, but no plans for this so far.
On the other hand the source of the MaLa game list files is available on the MaLa webpage. So anyone is invited to create on application for this task.

Hi Swindus,
Just so I'm clear on this...
For MAME, you have check boxes for both catver.ini and controls.ini, but you do not have this option for other emus, correct? I was hoping to display controls.ini info for Daphne using the DaphneControls.ini file that Howard Casto created, but from what I understand this is not currently available through MaLa.

Can you copy and paste data from one to another?
