Dumb Questions Inside!
« on: October 29, 2008, 10:03:50 am »
Ok, so I am now to the point of getting Mala configured. I have everything installed, and Mala is working correctly, but my questions are:

1. I want a custom background. I am making a Superman cabinet, how hard would a custom background be to make? I looked around, but I couldn't find any information on it.

2. When I load Mala, it loads (I think) every arcade game ever made. It's around 7K. How do I get Mala to only read the ROMS I have?

3. HairyDVD provided me with an opening intro movie, how do I load that into Mala?

4. How to I get Mala to auto start? I see other people's machines, and it loads Mala automatically every time the PC is turned on. How do I get Mala to do this?

Sorry for the list, but any help would be appreciated!

Jason

Hi,

Yes they are basic questions which all have answers covered many time before.  :P

That is ok but .... I think it's best if I point you where you should look and then come back the the forum with more questions if you are still sumped  ;)

I think you will find all those answers with a quick search of the forum or checking out the reference material in the MaLa Wiki or the MaLa Website  ;)

I did some more checking while I was here at work today (Glad for slow days!), and I ws able to figure out how to add a start up video. I'm assuming I can add the video to the default layout? I don't see any reason why I couldn't. I also saw on the Wiki that I can select only ROMS that are working, so that answers that pretty easily.

One more question, I looked but didn't see anything. I want to be able to play music on the menu selection, where do I load the MP3's to?

Under Options there is a 'Sounds and Music' tab  ;)
