How do I get Nebula working with Mala?
Doom bucket:
Ok, CPS games are working, Neo Geo games aren't. I'm ok with that for now.
I'd still like to figure out a few other things with mala. For one, how do I launch external applications from mala? Stuff like PC games and what not... And how do I configure mala to start automattically on windows launch? I clicked the box but it didn't seem to change anything...
other features, such as jukebox capability and layouts, are features that I think mala has but I haven't been able to figure out how to activate them/use them. :P

It details how I configured all my emulators a while back. You should understand how to associated layout files with emulators pretty easily by going to the correct section and reading quickly about it.
As for my PC games (which are not described in that document), I simply created a BAT file for each of my installed PC games. I then placed all of these BAT files into a "PC Games" directory. Finally, I configured MALA with a new "PC Games" emulator and pointed it to the "PC Games" directory and set MALA up to use only "BAT" file extensions for this new emulator. What this does is tell MALA that a new "PC Games" emulator exists and to treat all files ending in "BAT" to be the game names. Once you start MALA, you should be able to scroll through the BAT file names and select one, which will result in the BAT file executing, thus starting your PC game.
It has been a long time ago since I set all of this up, but it was pretty straightforward and worked well. I would suggest you open up another forum post regarding how to set up MALA for PC games and here what other people recommend as well ..... but what I told you should get you going ....

You can make a folder full of PC game short-cuts too...

How does one make bat files?
unclet:
If you open a command window you can type commands at the prompt (ex: cd, dir, etc...). A file with a BAT extension is a file in which has command window commands inside of it. You then simply execute the BAT file, which will in turn execute all the commands (one by one) for you automatically so there is no need to manually type them in anymore.
Check this post out for an example of a BAT file:

I would also recommend you make a reply into that post as well if you need any further information regarding BAT files ......
