Hi All,

My journey that started in June/July is now complete and I have finished my MAME cab! Big, BIG Thanks to everyone that gave me help and advice - particularly Bucks  :cheers:

I will whack some pictures up later, just trying to finish off my software config.

I am using the latest MaLa build and have a few Q's...

1) Can I have a 'favourites' game list - scrolling through 6500 roms is a pain in the ass!

2) I tried to add another emulator to MaLa - Frets On Fire (Like Guitar Hero), but it doesnt really work - has anyone done this?

3) Do any pinball emulators launch from within MaLa - I managed to get a combo of Visual Pinball and PinMame working with Maximus Arcade, but cannot figure it out in MaLa!

4) Lastly, how do I stop the trackball from 'accelerating'? I'm not sure if this is right, but the fast I move the ball, the faster the action on screen - e.g. in Dunk Shot (one of my fave games!) if I spin the trackball like in the old days, the players move around at 100 miles an hour, so I have to gently roll the ball around which moves the players slower. Not really the spirit of the game!

I've tried changing the analogue sensitivity in MAME (X and Y now down to 25% from 75%), but it still feels odd.... is there a way around this?

Also, a small LedWiz issue:

1) Everything works fine - as I scroll through the games, the different buttons light, they flash on start and exit of MaLa etc -but I cannot get the random attract mode when the screensaver comes on.

I tested the cab with a really old PC and managed to get it working then and this is the same software so a bit confused! Have everything ticked that should be and have the default LWA files in the LWA folder - any ideas?

Think thats it for now!

Thanks again, Paul

hi paul
id like to see the answers to some of these too.
can offer a little help hopefuly, have you looked at unclet's mala setup walkthrough , im trying to find a link to it but i got it here or on the mala pages im sure. it mentions setting up pinball and other emulators, i think the category list(games listed by type) is mentioned there too(not sure about a favourites list). that and a few questions in the software forum have got me going with mala :cheers:


EDIT mala main page click on help, its under 'how to' on the right

Doh! Didnt see that last night  :-\

Will look now - thanks for the pointer!

Got it working - kinda!

I made a new emu in MaLa and pointed it to the vpinball.exe file as instructed (and the ROM path).

I have the right ROMs in the right places - when I launch a table within MaLa, just VPinball editor loads, then I have to manually find the table, and then click 'Play Table' - which it then all loads ok.

Isnt the idea to choose a table from MaLa and have it all launch for you?

Thanks for any help!
