Title: Where do we get movies for Mala?
Post by: leapinlew on May 11, 2011, 04:24:18 pm

Looking to make my own theme and I want to use videos. I don't know exactly where to get the videos. Do I pull them from Emumovies, or is there a torrent?

I did a search for videos in this forum, but I wasn't able to find the answer. If this is a duplicate, my apologies.

emumovies

Cool. Thanks. I'll navigate there and see. I assume paying the $10 is worth it?

How much massaging of the videos do I need to do after downloading them? Can they just be dropped in a folder, or do they need to be named a certain way?

They need to have the same name as the rom they are referring to...
mk.zip (Mortal kombat mame rom) -> mk.avi

You could use the service utility from emumovies that searches for artwork and rename it for you or use one of the rename utilities on emumovies (I'm using fatmatch that also generates a have and missing txt file)

More than worth it!  They have other emulators too besides MAME.  And the little download utility they released works pretty well too!  I love me some EmuMovies.  Circo didn't even have to pay me to say that.
