Starting up Mala...

[xer0s]

I've been using Mamewah, and I've decided to switch to Mala.  If I want to have Atari, Nintendo, Snes, Sega Gen, and Mame games on my arcade, which emulators would you recommend using with Mala?  Or does it matter?  I figure some emulators may work better with Mala than others.  Thanks.

The emulators I am using are:

Mame = main command line Mame (ie: do not use Mame32.exe, etc..)

Atari2600 = stella
Atari5200 = Atari800WinPlus
Atari7800 = M.E.S.S
AtariLynx = handy

Nintendo NES = FceUltra
Nintendo Gameboy = VisualBoyAdvance
Nintendo Gameboy Advanced = VisualBoyAdvance
Super Nintendo = zsNes
Nintendo 64 = Project64

Sega Genesis = fusion
Sega Gamegear = fusion
Sega 32x = fusion
Sega MasterSystem = fusion
Sega CD = fusion


Knowing you have had some trouble setting up MameWah and I am glad to see you have made the switch to MALA which should be easier for you.  I would recommend starting out with my HowTo MALA document if you need help configuring these emulators.   All emulators I use should be documented.   It might look like a lot of information, but it pretty much states everything you need to do step by step to get various emulators configured and working.  It tells you where to download the emualtors from, how to configure them and provides a directory structure to keep everything organized.  You basically can skip all the stuff related to emulators which you are not interested in configuring.

Just thought I would mention it again just in case.

Thanks unclet.  You've been a real asset to me on these forums.  I'm going to read through your guide and see what I can do.  I'm sure I'll have questions, but its good to know I can come back here and get answers from you.

You can always find support for MaLa in the 'Software' section of this Forum

I just switched from Mamewah to MaLa too. I'm using the same emulators I've always used with Mamawah with no ill effects. Why not just try the ones you already have installed? I bet they work fine.

As long as we are talking about setting up MaLa...

If I boot into MaLa as a shell, how do I initialize the U-360...or does the plugin do that?  (I don't think it does though...loadman?)

How about loading a Key-Wiz profile?  Is there a way to do that, behind the scenes, once MaLa is the shell?

I'd much prefer to handle MaLa queries in the software section

Plug-in I think. You should ask  Fatfingers

You can get MaLa to launch windows expolorer at any time to do maintainence etc. That is what I do

My 1st Post!  (Long time lurker)

I use both Mala and MameWah, and both work well with every emulator you mentioned.  MameWah was a bear to get working, but I think I finally have the 1.62 inis right!  Mala is so user friendly, that I doubt I would have used MameWAH had I known about it 1st (Although MameWah is a great program once you are over the learning curve)
