Anyway, I will add the stuff into the document when I have time and after I test it out.
however, I thought the problem with ePSXe (based on my extremely limited reading on the subject) is that each Playstation game needs a different configuration setup. Is this no longer true ......?
I'm a Mac guy so this is all foreign to me. someone in another thread said MaLa was easy to setup.
OK, so anyway... I found the file called mamepp. WHen I entered mamepp -cc in the command promp it created a config file called mamepp. Is that what I needed? Do I need to rename that "mame.ini"?

that configure button never saves the settings for me (winxp), its always stuck on DirectDraw, I place a check in D3d and it always reverts or stays unchanged.
I updated the document (now v1.4) with the new link to the Atari800Win emulator (Atari5200, Atari800XL, etc..) ..... not really a remarkable thing ..... but thought I would mention it ....
Whoa! That's alot of words. Slap a yellow and black cover over that document and call it 'Mala Setup for Dummies.'
I do not plan on changing since it works fine.
Well that clears that up, thank you.
Did not mean for you to take it so hard ..... :P

I was just casually throwing out there that Mala can do the job without creating a batch file for every game.
Haha no need to apologize. I found another thread that gave a download for the zebra layout and apparently has the tree as part of the basic layout. Now for some good ole fashion trial and error - that's what makes computers fun! ;)
Great job of updating ...... :cheers:
PS: Can I assume your ".txt" file is really a microsoft Word ".doc" file still and the user should rename the file to be ".doc" instead before opening?

Anyone got a complete mala.ini file from this configuration could cut down on the work even more :)
Thanks for contributing ..... :applaud:
FYI: I believe if you use double-quotes (") around your directory paths then spaces would be allowed.
Well, I wanted to run just a Turbo Graphics emu only. However Mala requires Mame in order to set itself up. Asks for a XML (or some such) file IIRC. If you don't have Mame on your computer it won't continue it's setup.
Many thanks unclet! I'm a newcomer to almost everything here, including windows, so this guide is appreciated with great hugeness.
For those without the ability to open .txt files, I've created a PDF copy of v1.8. (http://f.cl.ly/items/3o3K35243G0L3m1T2V0i/MalaEmuSetup-v1.8.pdf)
edit: hey wait, how'd you do that? 1.8 isn't even out yet. Is there a public beta?
Everybody can open txt files. Some files, like this one, were done in wordpad. Notepad, which kinda blows for all but very rudimentary stuff, can't interpret the formatting.
The version number doesn't match Mala version number.
Thanks, I considered that, but noticed the title in the word doc says v1.3, while the filename is labeled 1.8. You can understand my confusion. Thanks for the correction.
Thanks, I just started reading this.
It's DOC file, I prefer to read things with my web browser (FireFox) so I can zoom in and out. So I converted it to HTML, find it attached if you like.
I got to the part that says to make a bunch of folders, I made a batch file from the text to create the folders quickly, attached also.
Then it occurred to me that the folders could be uploaded in a zip file, so I did that too, it's attached.
OK, now let's see if I can get MALA working :)
