MaLa question - launch external app on game start/exit?

(1/4) > >>

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to launch an external app from MaLa when a mame game starts and then again when it exits (without coding a custom plugin)? I see that MaLa does have an option to launch a cp viewer when a games starts and I guess that could be used for any app - for example to set the DSR mode for a GPWiz49. But what about on game exit?

Yes (you have the right idea but use the encoder launcher) and yes (I think that where the default encoder conig Mala is used).
Options/controller/encoder  ;)


Let me know what you need and I'm sure a plug-in can be whiped up in any case. Fatfingers has already written a plugin for the Ultrastick in C++ so I'm sure he could give us some tips  ;D

Enjoy

loadman,
I just downloaded Delphi 7 personal - I think I'll give the plugin coding a try myself. Might as well learn if I'm going to use MaLa!

It sounds like you guys have everything under control, but if I can be of any assistance, please let me know.

Arzoo,
You should also try Turbo Delphi.  I like the interface much better.  And it is also free.
