Title: UncleT’s Mala Setup – Directory Structure (Download)
Post by: Franco on November 13, 2007, 11:55:15 am

Firstly I would like to say thank you to UncleT for creating such a thorough setup guide for Mala.  :notworthy:  :cheers:

I started setting up Mala last night and created all of the folders as suggested by UncleT as shown below:

DIRECTORY STRUCTURE:

The following is the format which I used to keep everything organized.  Create the following folders:

Create main folders:

I have saved all of these empty folders and I will upload them to save anyone time if they too are setting Mala up from scratch following UncleT’s guide.

Extract the .zip and place everything in the “C” folder to your C:\ drive or wherever you wish. You can delete any of the folders if you wish but I’m going to keep them all for future use even though I am not going to use all of the emulators at present.

Hope this saves someone some time.

Thanks.

Where is UncleT's setup guide for Mala?

I cant remember the location I got it from (although I think it was a link from the Mala Wiki) but I wil upload it to this post if UncleT doesnt mind, it may help in reference to the DL i posted for others too.

(Btw, BYOAC does not allow .doc's so I have zipped the setup guide too)

There are a few places to get it from:

1) My original BYOAC forum post has the latest version:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=56010.0

 
2) MALA Wiki has a link under the "Other Emu-Setup" section which points to my BYOAC forum post (see (1) above)

http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Mala_Wiki


3) Go to the MALA homepage, click HELP and on the right side under "How To" there is a link.

Following UncleT's guide you need to download Chankast Launch v1.3 - By Headkaze from the gameex forum.

You have to register to download the file so I will attach it here incase you do not wish to register.

Hope this is ok.
