Mala error message
« on: May 21, 2009, 09:33:32 pm »
I have everything set up and working great. The problem is when I select "only working roms" it tries to regenerate the game list and comes up with an error saying "Mala has encountered a problem and must close". Any ideas?

It probably would help if you could post the contents (or at least the last few bits of contents) of the mala log file.

I get this when my gamelists are broken, like when the paths are messed up and the list is "empty".  If "all games" works, then I would suspect other gamelists that are honked.

...just a thought.
