I'm using an old version of MALA that I was able to download recently. This is my 3rd install, somehow my kids have wrecked my menus in a way that I couldn't fix previously (via button mashing?) so reinstalled. Only frontend I've spent any time on and can get games working without much issue. But also, I haven't updated MAME or my ROMS in quite some time, so likely this is the reason I've had trouble with newer setups?
