Title: Master System & Mala
Post by: Beaps on March 28, 2015, 11:38:33 am

Hi All

I am having problems starting Master System in MALA. Megadrive works fine but when I start MS I just get a black screen?

Any ideas?

It depends on the emulator you are calling. I use Fusion.

Execution Command Line:
"%path%\%rom%.%ext%" -sms -auto -fullscreen

Turn on logging. Try the command MALA performs manually. Set the correct working directory and check for a typo.

Code: [Select]

OK I got it starting in full screen but it keeps going to windowed when I exit back to Mala. I have separate folders for Genesis/32x & Master System and they exit back fine, it just MS.

Is there an option in the .ini that I can move the Esc key (full screen to window) to a different input?

Thanks agan

Please can someone help me, it's driving me up the wall.

Is it a bug in Mala maybe?

I was confused by this post till I read Bmanbdaman's post.  His way is the way to do it.  I'd forgotten that I'd done that a long time ago.
