Hotkey-ing specific game list in Mala.. Possible?

(1/4) > >>

grueinthebox:
Wondering if there is any way to get Mala to switch game lists based on a specific key press...  For example, with the 'A' key pressed, one list would be displayed, while with 'B' pressed, another would show.  I'm planning a vertical cabinet using a Mag-Stik Plus, and would like to mount switches that would be depressed depending on what mode the stick is in, and then have a corresponding game list display based on the key that's pressed - result would be a list of 4 way games displaying when in 4 way mode, and 8 way for 8 way mode.

Hoping there might be a way to set this up using the controller mapping, but from what I can tell that only allows for one list per screen orientation, not two different lists for a single orientation.  Anyone know of a way to do what I'm looking to?

If Mala can't do it, would certainly consider a different frontend if one exists that has the ability to assign a specific key to a particular list...

AtomicFE can switch between the main list and the favorites list by pressing the Player1 Button3 button (which is user-definable with the AtomicKeys program.) You could have your 4 way games on the main list, and the 8 ways on the favorites...

Time to switch!

You can do this with MaLa. There are keys to switch to the next and the previous game list in the controller mapping. You can have unlimited game lists per screen orientation, there is no restriction.

If you want to use only two lists then you can switch with the next and previous game list command between these lists. Or you can activate cycling for the game lists and then you can switch beetween the game lists with one button, one after another.

No need to switch!

Havok that old routine is getting old  ::)

Not everyone uses AtomicFE time to get over it!

Just answering a question, which Mala can apparently do, as well as AtomicFE. Plus, made a humorous comment about changing over, since the OP did mention. Does this look familiar?

Do you have anything relevant to the question? If not, then I suggest you go back to the GameEx forum...
