Title: Workaround for multiple directories for videos in MALA
Post by: retrometro on December 02, 2008, 08:57:42 pm

One of my favorite features in MALA is the screensaver mode where i play emumovies.com's mame videos as well as a directory of classic video game commercials. 

unfortunately mala only lets you specify one directory although you can specify to use subdirectories.

I wanted to have it play movies from other games as well so i used linkd.exe to make a hard link to paths of the other game videos underneath.  it's like the unix equivalent of "ln" without the -s for symbolic.

But also, if multiple paths can be chosen for videos, i'd like that to be in 1.06.  thanks!

Yep. That's what I do too.
