I've just decided to give Mala a serious try and I really do want BetaBrite support.
I would be happy to beta test for you. Just let me know!

Great.
Use the commands headkaze suggested for Displaying .LCD files (using Silvers Prog)
Work will begin on a Plug-in for MaLa.
My Ideas for it being:
* It will support Betabrite/Serial LCD's
* It will look for a .LCD file and if not found will use data MaLa draws from controls.ini and mame.xml
.
Thanks to Silver & Headkaze for their tips on developing this.

Great. I'll whip up a basic procedure to start with, to use the commands headkaze suggested for Displaying .LCD files (using Silvers Prog)
Then work will begin on a Plug-in for MaLa.

* It will look for a .LCD file and if not found will use data MaLa draws from controls.ini and mame.xml

I would avoid using the lcd file method, although using Silvers program would save a lot of work. The reason is you don't really want file access going on while scrolling through a list if that's what your aiming for.
Also, are you sure you have to read mame.xml? Wouldn't you be able to get the ROM parent sent from Mala to the plugin? All you should have to do is read controls.ini and store it in memory for fast access. If Mala can send the parent of the ROM you can do a quick search for it in controls.ini stored in memory. I think the main problem we will be facing is testing on hardware we don't own.
Circo:
You don't need to load the lcd file until you actually start the game.
The best way to use the .lcd files would be:
Load one for Mala start
Load One each time you change emulator
load when starting game
load one on Mala exit
Or at least options for these
Great work loadman, I am excited woohoo!!!
Oh and I will be a beta tester no problem.
