Not all commands are working in MALA...

[MagicMan]

I'm running the XIN MO controller & using MALA.

On the screen asking you to type "ok" or move the joy stick left to right to get proceed to play a game, moving my joy stick left to right does nothing. The joy stick works fine when in a game or selecting games once in MALA, though.

Also, I cannot seem to get anything to work to exit a game, once started, & go back to game select list. I have to use Windows task manager & end it that way.

What is going on? I don't recall ever having this problem. I hadn't touched the machine in some time before this, but it worked fine then, so I don't know what the problem is.

You are describing issues in MAME, not Mala.

It sounds like you haven't mapped the joystick in MAME, or you've unplugged them since mapping so the joystick IDs have changed.

I mapped them & never unplugged anything. It happens with all the emulators I have installed.
