Games not loading
« on: August 08, 2008, 11:45:21 am »
I'm in the early stages of setting up my machine.  I've loaded and setup the ROMS, MAME, and MALA.  MALA will come up, I see a list of my games, but when I try to select one of the games, nothing happens.  Anyone know what's going on?

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

I setup MALA to the ROM's path.  Is it also necessary to configure MAME to the ROM's path?

I'm just surprised you didn't get some kind of error box or something.

I don't know about MALA, but I know in Mamewah, it just goes blank for a sec, then back to the frontend.
