Mala and ROM names?
« on: January 16, 2007, 11:31:51 pm »
Can I have just the game name show up in Mala instead of the full ROM name?  I really don't need to know what version or revision it is or if it's a playchoise game.

Yep use the malagamelist.exe

Some things such as items in brackets can be taken out in bulk automatically

You can remove the brackets and versions very easily... Right click, Options, Game Lists (upper tab), then select a game list, use the lower options tab (right above the list), Edit Game List, and you'll have text at the top that says Gamelist with all the naming options when you click it.

It sounds like a lot of steps, but it's actually very easy when you navigate through the dialog boxes.

It may sound like a stupid question, but you are making sure to click "File" and "Save", right?

If so, make sure your emulator is setup properly, and I guess if that doesnt work make sure that no files are set to "read-only" in windows...

I'm sure MaLa will forgive you....  in time   :laugh2:

Thanks for your honesty..

Too many slam software first before they check to see if it is human error.   :D
