I don't remember. Got em a few years ago. Probably from the hyperspin project on u-g when it was still around.

Hi guyz,

I've got almost everything up and running with the John's Arcade MALA Layout, but I can't see the videos! I can hear them playing, but the box goes black and I can't see them! Boo! Please help! The video files are all .avi's and the resolution is 180x240 (vertical videos, because it's a purely vertical cab). I tried .mpgs but those didn't work at all. The videos play fine in VLC.

UPDATE: I've got everything working except the videos... i can hear them but I can't see them. the box just goes black once the video starts. Dang it!

I was thinking about doing it in Hyperspin but it seemed pretty daunting getting it to run properly vertically. Do you have a video of your cab that I could see?

Hi all

I'm starting my second MAME project cabinet. It's a vertical cab, so I'm downloading John's vertical MALA frontend. I just got a Dell Optiplex GX620 to use as my brain.

I've never used MALA (my horizontal cab has Hyperspin, but I did it a few years ago, so it'd probably be impossible to remember how I did it). I have an ArcadeVGA and Jpac, and am going to install two joysticks with 4 buttons each and a spinner (spintrak), because the cab is an Arkanoid II. I've got all the parts, and am going to redo the control panel over spring break.

Any helpful hints before I get my hands dirty? Any other software or anything I should download? Are there any good MALA tutorials (I'm probably going to keep it very much like John already has it)?

Thanks guys!
