I found that when it was ticked, I had a problem with Mala losing focus. When it wasn't ticked, the problem went away. Although in my case there were other issues that required me to enable it. But have you checked this setting?

Thank goodness I read this thread again. This has solved all the crashing woes on my DK bartop! :applaud:
I was convinced that it was some corrupted videos for certain games in the MaLa menu. It always seemed to crash on exiting certain games or when that game was selected in the MaLa list (hence displaying the video). But I had this option unticked in my setup... so I ticked it and the problems have disappeared completely! I do notice that each video now needs an extra second to load on exiting a game. But simply browsing through the list has no such extra delay.
Thanks for this little nugget of info! :cheers:

It's from that video everyone was posting a few months ago. Pixel Attack or 8-Bit Attack or something like that.
Small update: I figured out the MaLa and focus issue. It ended up being an easy fix with an autohotkey script. Every time the "ESC" button is pressed (taking the player back to the front end and gamelist) a left mouse click is simulated 0.5 seconds after the button press. This ensures MaLa remains the top window. It's been working for a few months now without any trouble. I haven't figured out the sheller though - I tried it and it messed everything up (I had to go back to a safe point and restore) so for now I still have all the XP junk on boot up. Not a huge deal.
Also, a friend asked me for before and after pics so I cobbled the pic below together. Finally, I just got an iPhone 4 so I'm going to try and take some video of the cabinet in action and post it to YouTube or something.
:cheers:

I finally got the chance to make a short video of how the cabinet works. It was actually an excuse to try out the video feature on my new iPhone. Enjoy!
