Title: Mala jukebox operation while playing games.
Post by: Duhjoker on January 07, 2016, 03:45:09 pm

    Hi there

   Ive downloaded Mala as a front end for my mame cab. I would like to have my music playing while gaming. But after a few hours of play i was only able to get the juke box to play all songs in a random order but im not seeing how to play the music while gaming.

 Any body know what im supposed to do?

Try this:

1. Open MaLa
2. Right-click and select "Options / Configuration"
3. Click on the "GUI" tab
4. Within the "GUI" tab click on the "Game Start/Quit" tab
5. Uncheck "Pause background music on game start"

I haven't tried it myself but I've whizzed by this option a dozen times or so while configuring MaLa.

Ok two more problems.

Mala only only puts out 72 of 118 games. Ive checked the games using Mame32 and they show up and work, but not in mala.

How do i activate and use the screensaver so i dont burn the gui into my screen? Ive looked atound but cant find a straight answer or tutorial.

   Ok i can activate the screensaver but no pics come up. Is there a way to keep the music going in screen saver mode?
