Title: Input & Error Problems On Mala in New Cab. Help!
Post by: lettuce on July 31, 2008, 03:20:27 pm

Am just getting round to setting up mala on my new cab, and have 2 problems. On selecting a game on the mame list within mala, just as the game loads up a dos window appeaWarning unkown option in inirs reading:

Warning unkown option in ini -screen0
Warning unkown option in ini -view0
Warning unkown option in ini -switchres
Warning unkown option in ini -nohwstretch
Warning unkown option in ini -nobezel
Warning unkown option in ini -resolution
Warning unkown option in ini -resolution0

and a butch of other ini options

And my second problem wihich is the main problem, if i load mame through mala, when the rom has loaded, none of the inputs on the keyboard work, if i press a button on the keyboard it just seems to pause the game for a second and then resumes. I have loaded mame on its own and this problem is not present, so it must be something to do with when mala!?. Any ideas on these problems/errors please?

For the first issue, You can hide the dos window, there is an option in mala

Those errors mean you have config that is nt applicable to the version of mame you are using. No big deal, I assume that mame.ini was created with an older version
