Hi guy's,

I have been using mala for quite a while now and love it.
I had it iinstalled on my cab working fine. I am in the process of building a second cab and thought I would copy mala and mame across to the new pc from the existing working drive.

Mame will run but mala quits with an unknown error. When I run mala for the first time after re-installing again  it runs the setup and i provide all the info. It then collects bios info for a while and quits. Then when attempting to run it gets to the mala splash screens then quits with unknown error. I am running tinyxp. This works fine on my other cab no problems.

cheers

Philby

Ummm Guessing...  :dunno
* How did you transfer this stuff over? If by CD then all the files may be by default set to to read only which is bad. Select the whole folder un unselect that
* Try deleting mala.ini and starting again it may be looking for something that does not exist on your other PC
 Don't worry you won't lose youe game lists and it does not take long to punch in some details

If probs persist provide more details I guess

Hey Loadman,

Thanks for the reply. I copied from HD to HD. Just seems funny even with a new install that mala wont work. Perhaps it's a rom thats corrupt? I mean it does fail when collecting bios info.

Might try installing roms again.

cheers mate

You should be able to do this, shouldn't you Loadman?  I was under the impression that neither mame nor mala writes to the system registry.  I haven't needed to try this yet, but I was more or less counting on this being possible...

It is possible . I have done it many times.

I did it just yesterday to test the latest LedWiz Plugin.

 I copied my entire setup-up to a Win 2000 machine to see how it would react as there is not speech built into to it..

......Anyway my point is it worked fine.

I also have a copy of my Cab set-up on my main PC here to help me with testing and Forum Queries

So I am guessing here for a cause/ solution
