Escaping Stella while in Mala?
« on: October 12, 2006, 07:13:07 pm »
I am running Stella (stella-2.2-win32.exe) through Mala 1.0 RC7a.  The games run fine, but when it's time to call it a night, I can't exiting out of the game back into the Mala FE. I am forced to do the classic "Ctrl, Alt, Delete" function to get out of Stella.
I am sure it's nothing big, but does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks.

What are the default keys of Stella to quit?

EDIT:
The default command to quit Stella is 'Ctrl + Q'. So use a hotkey to map 'Esc' to 'Ctrl + Q' in MaLa for Stella. Works great here.

You rock swindus.  Works like a charm.  Now if I could only get my snaps to work with Stella.  Does Mala only support a certain graphic format?  I have tried keeping the snaps zipped and have also extracted them to my snaps folder.
Thanks again for your help with the fine tuning of my cabinet.

As for the location you specify a different snap folder than MAME if that is what you mean. ?

You would not want to mix them all up. Make a new folder somewhere and point MaLa to it in the config
