I really like mala.  The other FEs are great too but Mala is good for me.

I do not have a jukebox and will not have one soon.  Its nice to sell the Arcade cabinet to the missus as more that just a video game machine.  It has a decent sound system so If I can sell it as a music/mp3 machine thats a bonus.

So far the Mala Jukebox seems easy, I already have a layout for it and its easy to store my mp3's on the arcade cabinets monster hard drive.

But I cant figure out Mala Jukebox.  is there a "mala jukebox.readme file" somewhere that I should review?  Or is the Mala JUkebox just not really developed yet?

Questions:  How do you add more than one song to the playlist?

It would be nice to add a bunch of songs to a "now playing playlist and walk away from the cabinet for 3 minutes.

The Jukebox built into MaLa is basic but cool...

I think it is pretty intuative but I will write some notes in the Wiki about it when I get a chance (or you can if you want  ;) )

ALSO... You can use MaLa to launch a seperate JukeBox Prog if you want.. Like UNCLET's or SKJUKEBOX.

Nag Nag:  Have you tried that thing I e-mailed you yet .. Nag Nag  :-)

I will try the Ledwiz plug in right now.


(I did revert back to Mala Hardware though for ease of attract mode animations and event animations)

Hey... I don't want you to break a chip swapping it back and forth   :o

I did not realise you swapped it back  ;)

No prob, you got PM.

I like the Mala Juke.  If it is fully operational, then it would be perfect since the interface and selection would be just like the rest of the front end and thus easy for the random user.

I think I just dont know how to use it right.  I dont understand how to "add to the playlist"  I have seen a screen that says "playlist" but it only has one song in it and if I try and add another song, the new song interupts the already playing one.
