pc games in MALA
« on: August 04, 2008, 01:28:38 am »
I have read some old post about running pc games from MALA and to be honest with you they confuse the crap out of me.
Is there a dummies guide to doing this or something?
All I wanna do is run Grid Wars from my cab. :dizzy:

Basically you just need to create a folder with shotcuts to your pc games in it.

Ok so I got it to work. For simplicity I put a folder on my C drive with a folder of the shortcut. Put in the info you said to use and it works.
The only issue is when I leave Grid Wars I get a error saying failure to execute with a error code 123. If I press esc again it just closes that window and goes back to MALA.

In the execution tab you need to make sure command line only says %rom%

That will fix your error

Thanks for the tip.
It fixed the error, but now when I quit the game it will sometimes hang and boot the game back up again.
