Title: 2 emulators at the same time(eg: Jukebox and mame)
Post by: swamprat96 on March 12, 2009, 04:30:23 pm

I'm building my next cab. On my first cab I have wincab and Mame with Mala and it runs fine- but the comments been why can't you run the music in the background whilst playing mame?

I know if I had a mouse attached this is easy if I used Mala Jukebox- but not with Wincab as they chamge emulators option is not available when wincab is running

I also don't usually have a mouse attached- just joysticks and 3 buttons a side.

Any way to achieve this?

on Gui GameStart\Quit
you have the option to pause background music when game starts, just take the tick out and the music will continue

That box is greyed out. I'm not using Mala's Jukebox - using wincab which Mala treats as another emu

AS an experiment I enabled mala jukebox and tried the background option. No luck. Surely there is a way to play the jukebox in the background whilst playing a game?

that is an option I guess- but I'd really like to be able to use jukebox like functionality

So does this mean that can not be done?
