I searched around on this, but have had no luck finding even someone else with this same problem.
In mala, when I assign sounds to these events:
"Game list/menu movement"
"Game list/menu end reached"
... the sounds don't play on the game list at all. They DO play when I bring up the options Menu (default button: 2) but not in a normal game list. All the other sounds work as I imagine they should. I'm using mala's tree structure, but I've tested it without the tree (single layout) and it still doesn't work. I've also tried using layout-specific sounds as well as the general mala sound events, but even that didn't work.
Am I missing something? Is this a feature that isn't fully implemented yet? ???
Thanks for your time!

They have been working for a long time. It must be something you are doing wrong I guess ;)
I have not heard of this type of problem before where some events work and others don't? ???
Can you post some screen shots of your MaLa options screens ;D
-
Well, I don't know if this will help, but I brought it back down to basics and it still doesn't work.
(I hope I attached those pics right!)
I went back to the standard Mala layout (no tree structure,) turned off layout specific sounds, and added just ONE wav to it, under "Game list/menu movement." Using my full mame list, NO sound triggers when scrolling in the game list, but when the menu is up (last pic) the .wav triggers every time I scroll.
I'm really confused. :banghead: This isn't a problem for anyone else?
EDIT: Egad... sorry about those file sizes... :(

The only other thing I can think of is in:
options-gui-options (exceptions box)
You can skip MaLa doing certain things to make it scroll super fast...
There is a checkbox for Sounds in there
-
Oh man, that may be it... I think I turned all of those off - I don't think I even looked for a "sound" option there! ;D I won't be able to check until later tonight when I get home, but that's certainly something I haven't checked. I'll let you know if that works! Thanks!

Sure enough, loadman, you were correct! Disabling "display delay" in Options->GUI->Options apparently kills the gamelist part of the "Gamelist/menu movement" and "Gamelist/Menu end reached" sound events. I don't know if that qualifies as a bug, or just a peculiarity of mala.
Either way, problem fixed for now! Many thanks! :applaud: :cheers:

Not a bug ;)
Those checkboxes are put there to disable things (if you need to) to speed up scrolling.
Maybee they could be labled better I guess?
Glad you are happy ;D
PS Look out for my updated EmuWave Plug-in that wil trigger random sounds
