Mala Help needed - CLViewer and game lists
boboli:
Thanks Jeff - I'll have to play around with it a bit.
Loadman - wish I knew how to program. If I did, I wouldn't have to ask ; ) Don't take my comments/questions the wrong way. I love Mala, Mame, and I'm blown away with everything involved in this crazy hobby. Just thought that others might have the same issues I did with the lists and thought there might be an easier way to accomplish what I'm looking for. Although there's a lot out there, it's not always easy to find.

:-) Sorry if my last post came off a bit harsh. It was not meant to at all :D
If you have a look at that code from the link in my last post (even if you don't program) it may give you a clue as to game list structure and help you... :dunno
If you do want to learn... Try Delphi Its free . I only started to code late last year

Loadman,
In Mala is there a way to have one gamelist where individual roms in that single list use different versions of Mame. For example, now if I have some roms that need an earlier version of Mame to run fast enough, I must have them in a whole separate game list. Is there a work-around that you know of that will let me keep my mame games in one list?

Yep...You Launch With another Key ... ;) See Pic.
Placeholder for the external application command line: rom path, rom name, rom parent name, rom extension and emu name (%path%, %rom%, %parent%, %ext%, %emu%).
Good Question: I just added to MaLa Wiki Page:

Thanks loadman. If I had a decent memory that would work. Doubt I would remember which games used which key. Also hoping for something more seamless to work well in a cab.
I am thinking about delving into writing a plugin. I am thinking that upon the game_selected event, have the plugin check for the existence of a config file with the same name as the rom. If it does not exist, do nothing.
If it does exist, get the emulator command line from this config file and give it to Mala. That is if Mala allows the "emulator command line" for a specific game to be changed when the "game selected" event occurs.
Loadman, Can the "emulator command line" be changed during an event in a plug-in?
