Title: MALA - Revolving Emu Lists?
Post by: chrisindfw on November 17, 2007, 09:08:31 pm

I revived the pc inside my cab and currently it has Mamewah on it. While I love mamewah, I recently updated my roms and thought about upgrading the front end also.

So far they are about equal. But I was wondering if Mala had a setting that would allow for the emulators to rotate. As in when you reach the end it goes to the first emulator. I designed my control panel and the artwork with one button to cycle the emulators and one to do the game lists. I know this isnt a major feature but was just curious if it existed.

Also I just wanted to give a huge thank you to all of the developers to all of the "little" apps we use to make life easier. Layout converters, layout editors, name list generators, etc, etc. Keep it up.

Mala has a "Prev Emulator" and "Next Emulator" key mapping available which will define the keys which will cycle through all emulators defined.  When it reaches the last emulator, then it wraps around to the first emulator and keeps going (similiar things occurs when cycling through backwards as well).

Interesting. I have it set up like that but it is not going back to the first one. hmmmm Let me look again and play around.

I also noticed that it does not cycle back to the start on mine either. Maybe we are missing a tick box or something? If i figure it out ill post back.
