MaLa v1.74 Final

MaLa v1.74 Final is released. MaLa is a multi emulator front-end designed for all 32bit Windows operating systems (I have had reports it work fine on 64 bit) . It supports the Windows command line version of MAME with XML ROM info (> 0.84), PC Games and all command line based emulators. You can easily make it run on earlier versions of mame (as I do) by using a XML file generated by a later version.

What Features does Mala Have?
* Rotatable in any direction (0, 90, 180, 270) on the fly for horizontal and vertical screens
* Controllable by arcade controllers with configurable controller settings for all front end functions
* Controller detection: rotate and load game list depending on the controls that were touched (cocktail tables)
* On the fly programming of keyboard encoders
* Mouse support for trackballs, spinner and dials
* Virtual shift, key, full control with less controls
* Keyboard hook and hotkeys: No need for wrappers or specialized emulator versions
* Hardware Support: MaLa Hardware (LED + LCD), Ultimarc PacDrive (LED), BetaBrite Displays, serial LCD, GGG LEDWiz (LED), Ultimarc UltraStik360, ...
* LED Attract mode
* Comprehensive game list filter options and memorized filter sets
* Plugins - including support for hardware like LedWiz, Serial LCD's & Ultrastick (you can make your own if you can code in C++ or Delphi)

* !! AND MORE !!
