Led Wiz - a little help needed

[diverdown]

Loadman (if you read this), First of all the app you made for the led wiz is ace.
I didn’t even need to read any distructions…(he says even though he cant get it to work 100%)… I programmed my ledwiz and booted up mala and voila. Control panel looks sweet. I was wondering how I was going to inform the ledwiz of which controls to light up for which games

The little thing knew all by its self 



I now have one problem, which I cant solve searching BYOAC.


When I boot up the PC and boot straight to mala it gives me an error “LED_WIZ PLUGIN ERROR: Config file not located at :plugins\ledwiz.cfg”

I have the file located as c:\emulators\mala\plugins\ledwiz.cfg.

I also copied it to c:\emulators\mala\ledwiz.cfg
I also copied it to c:\ c:\emulators\mala\plugins\ledwiz\ledwiz.cfg


It still has the error. If I click ok and load up mala and then exit mala and then restart it manually then the ledwiz works.


What have I done wrong?


Thanks

diverdown,

how did you tell mala to launch at windows start up? through the mala config or through a shortcut?

can you try this:
- create a shortcut to c:\emulators\mala\mala.exe
- make sure the start-in directory is: c:\emulators\mala\
- once you create the shortcut, see if it works.

tell us what happens...

Might be the way mala is telling windows to launch on startup.

[diverdown]

i will give that a go. I am using mala 8 as I have had some bugs with 9

i was using the "start with windows" check box. but will try the start menu shortcut.

[loadman]

Yeah...

There was an updated version (probably not on the mala website) that addressed to 'working directory' bug when launching straight into MaLa..

I will search for that post:

here it is:

i used the shortcut and unchecked the start mala option and all is good

[loadman]

Did you try the updated version of the plug-in that was attached to that post?

now using the latest plugin file and the latest mala


- still no good.   It was working with mala 7 ot 8 (without the ledwiz)


also - should I have anything showing in the Hardware tab - i only have the ledwiz so I assume not.   The plugin shows and the leds light up properly.......  but i cant find any options to play leds at random during screen saver etc...

I think there is a missunderstanding here.

1) This plug-in update is to fix the problem with the led-wiz plug-in not finding the ledwiz cfg file when you boot staright into mala on windows start...  Nothing to do with the screensaver.

2) Plug-In options (like the led-wiz) You need to run the Configuration program that is supplied with it. MaLa config does not have options for Plug-ins

[edwardvci]

Thanks that did  the trick / installed that patch and all is good

 

[diverdown]

sorry.


the plugin update fixed the start not finding ledwiz issue thanks



now all I cant do is see images in screensaver.  The screen flashes at correct interval to be showing a snap file but the image does not actually show.
