First off... I've been trying to use Mala as a front end for the command line mame. But really, it's just frustrating to use. I can't get any layouts working properly, and because it's command line I can't seem to get addons like kaillera working properly. I was tuned into a program called winkawaks, which seemed to do everything I wanted to do very well. But every time I try to go fullscreen with it, it crashes. Still, it's the only program that I've used so far that actually plays the Neo Geo roms correctly. Also, I haven't managed to configure my controls properly because the program has a wierd glitch... every time I try to redfine the keys, the entire setup changes. Like I'll change one of the buttons, and another button changes in response. It's very frustrating. I also can't seem to get my 360 controller working with any of the MAME programs. I was hoping to use it as a third player for when friends come over, but I can't even configure it. Any ideas? |

Mala is typically easy to use though there are a few quirks with the layout editor, IMHO. There seems to have been a lot of wip and bug fixes with Mala the last 4 months, but for whatever reason there hasn't been a release since October which is frustrating. -SGT |

What type of controllers are you using? USB? Make sure you don't have any turbo, or slow motion buttons pressed. Go to Start>Settings>Control Panel>Game Controllers and make sure no buttons are active. What resolution are you using? Maybe you're using a resolution your monitor doesn't support. Try setting winkawaks to 640x480 |

360 controllers are USB, yes. They don't have turbo or slow motion buttons, and none of them are "active". |

This is starting to get very annoying mamewah, AtomicFE, Mala, all of them seem to have their unique problems and quirks but none of them seem to be doing what I want them to do, which is play videogames |
