Need help creating Game List in Mala

[Kaytrim]

I currently have just over 100 roms in the roms folder in MAME.  I am using version .79 command line version in a vertical setup.  Mala sees the version and knows where the roms are stored.  Mala seame to go through it's process of generating the list of games but nothing shows up.  I can run the games from the command line so MAME is working properly.  The roms have also been set up for the version of MAME.  I want to keep the version low because the PC is a PIII 730 with 512m RAM.  If I have to I can use a higher version and upgrade the roms to match but I don't want to go to high if I can help it.

Hi as you will see at the website:

MaLa is a multi emulator frontend designed for all 32bit Windows operating systems. It supports the Windows command line version of MAME with XML ROM info (> 0.84),

But having pointed that out I use .79 with MaLa .  

What you need to do is download a higher a version of mame (like .89) then use that to generate the xml file.  (you only need to do that once)

Then when that is done use that for for Mame .79.

Works for me!!
