My one and only huge request: add a way to run multiple .EXE files from the otherEMU tab. For example, I have many Stand alone PC programs that I want to be able to select, such as Simpsons Hit and Run, Counter Strike, Tiger Woods 08, etc.
Currently, the only way I can run them is to create an emulator for each game. I have tons of stand-alone PC games so this makes for way too many emu screen. I want to be able to add a single screen for "PC Games" where I can scroll through my list of games, hit start, and the game runs. I have been unable to figure this out on the beta version 1.82. You can only point to one .exe file and not one for each game. Make sense? Is this already possible, if so, how????
EDIT: googled this again and figured it out. Don't put in a path to an exe file, just make a folder full of shortcuts and point the rom path at that. Will test if this works tonight.
If you need any help with your site just PM me. I am a front end web guy as a profession. Love your work, wait til you see mine in action. I've been working on my design for years now. Love MALA.

Hope you got it running. I have it set up that way and it works for me, if you need a hand let me know and I will figure out what I did and step you through it

I eventually got it working. The main thing for anyone searching is that the file name for the shortcut has to exactly match the exe's file name.
OK now I do have one more item on the MALA wish list. Better MP4 support. I could make some crazy animated backgrounds for this making MALA compete with modern front ends if only it was more flawless with supporting large mp4 files.

Any update on this? I would be happy to donate as well.

:( I don't think so
But since we're talking about it, running Mala in Windows 10 it is viewed as an "older program" and therefore will only respond to one joystick, the one defined in the windows advanced /gamepad joystick dialogue "Select the device you want to use for older programs". I use 2 U360s and it causes me grief because I use player one for some stuff and controls on player two to control other elements, mostly the music.
