Title: Using MaLa without using mame?
Post by: IG-88 on December 26, 2010, 11:24:15 pm: Is there a way to use Mala without using mame? I just want to set up a couple bartops that run only sega or nintendo or pc games ect ect. but it keeps asking for some fricken mame file. Is it possible? If so how is it done?

what you could do is choose like a top 5 or 10 classic retro arcade games to compliment your other two emus.
Pac man, donkey kong etc

Sorry couldn't be more of a help

Why? I see it happen a hundred times on forums all over the place. And besides, it worked. You gave me a great idea! ;D

...So me being the sneaky guy I am grabbed an old computer and made a mala layout to select between a few old console emu's. It runs everything fine even though it is a 600mhz celeron with 256 megs of ram. Except of course mame titles.

So loadman, is there a way to remove or at least hide Mame from the menu/list of emulators?

Does that mean that there will be in an upcoming release?
