I've noticed something that could be a bug. When you load MaLa, the first time you run a game, you see the loading screen, and then, just before the game is displayed, you see the gamelist for a second. It's like a blink. This doesn't happen anymore when you load games later: you see the loading screen and then the game, as expected. Does this happen to you? I have not tried in high res. I'm using a 320x240 layout and my games are loading in native low res.
