Title: MaLa Errors
Post by: Onyx_PghPA on June 09, 2010, 08:57:14 pm
Having two problems with MaLa; after spending weeks finally fixing all of my other emulation problems.

1)  It seems whenever I exit a game using ESC (either the ESC button on a keyboard or the control panel button I have programmed for ESC), I get an error message:

2)  Whenever I first load MaLa, have DAPHNE selected as my emulator and right-click and select options, a bunch of error messages pop up:

Anyway, anybody encounter these problems and know of a solution.  #2 is fairly minor -- I know just to avoid making changes to options in DAPHNE, but the first one kinda sucks.

Thanks,


Joe


My arcade cabinet hardware:

MSI K9N6PGM2-V motherboard (onboard video and 10/100 networking)
AMD 64 X2 4800+ CPU
2GB DDR2 800 RAM
16GB solid state hard drive
27" D9800 Wells Gardner arcade monitor
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit

MaLa and Ultramap are on the cabinet's hard drive, but the emulators, ROMs, etc. are all on a shared network drive on my server PC.  Control of the cabinet (for making changes and so forth) is done through PC Anywhere, so I don't need a keyboard or mouse.

What version of mame are you running? I always recommend using a command line version of mame.

Yes, I'm using a command-line version of MAME (v0.138).

And for the record, if someone could move this post to the MaLa forum (of which I was not aware), I'd be most appreciative.  Not sure who does that, but Mr. Saint, if you're there, maybe it will help me to get an answer!  :)
