Title: MALA question - shell window shown frontmost?
Post by: Justin on July 03, 2006, 12:13:25 pm

As a loooooong time user of GameLauncher, I have been wanting more... and so I found MALA.  Wow!  What an awesome frontend!

The only thing keeping me from converting is the fact that it seems to bring the shell (DOS) window up front as soon as I launch a MAME game...  Is there a way to ensure it always runs that 'behind' the MALA interface? 

I want this for my Cab, and a DOS window showing is a big no no for me  :)

Thanks peeps!

Pretty simple:

Choose 'hidden' as window state.
