Mala & or Minipac help

(1/8) > >>

Razor:
Hi im having a few problems with Mala in my cab, when windows starts and I load Mala neither the joystick or buttons work, unless I start a game manually using the keyboard, then quit out back to Mala, then everything seems to work okay.  Ive tried pointing it to the Winipac config file in the options, but after every restart it doesnt work again.  Any ideas please?

Just to clarify are you saying that MaLa works fine via the keyboard but not via the Keyboard encoder (winipac)? 

If so it sounds like an encoder issue

What happens when you don't have mala in windows startup and start Mala manually?

Razor:
Hi, I havent got Mala running on windows startup yet, im just trying to configure everything to work correctly before doing that, so at the moment im just starting it manually.

Mala is working fine via the keyboard and works fine once I have run a game from it, Mame itself is working perfectly with the encoder all the time even after restart, so im not sure it is a problem with the encoder?  either way its confusing me lol

loadman:
Is it possible you have the encoder programming on game launch in MaLa?


OK Lets get so more info so we can work this out:  ;)

1) Winpac is software... So what version of I-Pac do you have (& ps2 or USB etc)?
2) Are you loading settings into the encoder before launching MaLa (is so what method)?
3) Are you loadiing settings into the encoder using MaLa (if so what method)?

Razor:
Hi thanks for the help as always :)

Im using a Minipac and its usb

Im not sure what you mean about the other two questions, all I did was use the Winipac config software i.e mapped out what buttons did what, saved the info into a .ipc file on the desktop and in the settings in Mala pointed it to that under the encoder tab.
