I feel like this is a really dumb question that's down to personal taste but I'm having a difficult time finding a clear answer - or at least a clear enough answer I can understand. So I have the entire .177 MAME Database XML file configured and I have downloaded all the artwork and I also have the entire .177 split arcade ROM set loaded, but now I want to trim the game list down a little bit so as not to have all the variants and clones of all the games. I'd like to keep the ROMs in their current complete state so I don't accidentally run into a missing ROM file problem and randomly deleting ROM zips seems like I would do just that. I think the user database down…

OK so I am a complete 'Noob' when it comes to this but I have followed Simply Austins video tutorial on YouTube. My problem is that HyperSpin wont launch my MAME ROMS. But I can launch them via RocketLauncher. I can not for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated

Hello, A) I've been a bit stumped on the 2 Database locations...one inside Hyperspin and the other inside RocketLauncherUI. I noticed most games work with the database in HS, but there were a couple that had to be placed in RLUI. Wondering what purpose to have both? Just got done renaming my roms art and media to the official Atari 2600 XML DB. The reason why is each game entry is filled out with the crc data, make, and genre. Made a genre wheel based off the MAME one (had to modify a few things). Everything is working great and now I'm not sure were to go from here. Atari 2600.xml or All Games has genre for each game. I downloaded each genre…

Hi Folks, Ive gotten to a point where I want Hyperspin loading on PC start-up. However, while it loads up ok it looses focus and needs to be ALT Tabbed back into the foreground - any ideas? I simply dropped Hyperspin into my startup folder - my guess this isnt the best approach?

Hi, Apparently I'm inept and these forums because I couldn't find a search function anywhere. So, reluctantly I'm posting about something that's probably already been hashed out, but I can't find it. So, I have the entire MAME video set from emumovies, but they are all in mp4 format and won't play in Hyperspin. All I can hear is the sound. It seems like I read somewhere that Hyperspin now supports mp4 instead of just flv but it needs a specific codec. Can anyone point me in the right direction for adding this specific codec? I really don't want to have to convert all the videos if possible. Thanks for the help and sorry if this has already been discusse…

So im about to start getting my Android MAME setup going. Been putting it off for a long time! Before I start has anyone done this already?? What I'm doing... Database Agent47 kindly created a 139 full list xml a while back. Hopefully he will filter out the non-working & BIOS from it for me. I will then create the following DB's Using Don's Filter List program Filtered Database (No Casino, Quiz, Mahjong or Mature) Filtered Database (No Casino, Quiz or Mahjong) Then match the Wheel set to the DB's I may then match the videos and talk to emumovies about having a space for them but will see how long the wheels take! Anything else that I sh…

I'm trying to replace all my 4:3 system themes with 16:9 versions from the HyperSpin Media section. I replace the Default.zip theme with the 16:9 version, and HyperSpin appears to load the theme correctly, at least initially. But for some reason, an image in the theme persists through the navigation of the games, replacing the boxart. For example, the SNES 16:9 theme includes a picture of Mario and Yoshi. That's cool to appear when I first enter the system screen, but Mario and Yoshi don't go away; they appear instead of the boxart. Any idea what I might be doing wrong here?

I've settled on Sony DualShock 4 controllers (using the DS4Windows utility) to serve as my "universal controller." So far it's been a good choice; the DS4 controller has a lot of buttons, and they seem to automatically map well with Retroarch's Retropad. Just about every console system works just fine, with minimal mapping adjustments. I'd like to maybe add MAME games to the system, though in looking at the MAME controllers, it seems they have six primary buttons and a lot of ancillary buttons. I'm not sure if this would map well to the DS4, even with all of its buttons. Has anyone had good experience playing MAME games with a controller like the DS4? Is it worth…

I'm trying to rename roms from a TOSEC set to match a hyperspin xml, and (for example), 3800 are matched by CRC, leaving 1000 or so still to sort out. All the renaming tools seem to need an xml file as input, but that includes all the ones that I've matched already, so it spends time matching them again, moving them afterwards, etc. Can any of the matching/renaming tools generate an xml file of just the missing roms, which could then be successively fed back as input (I'd first match all the files that are guessed at 100%, leaving an xml with a couple of hundred to go left on, etc.), as more and more roms are matched with an increasing degree of manual input? or is th…

Hi all, Newbie here so go easy . First off thanks for such great software So ive followed several tutorials on the internet and I am still having problems trying to create a setup that works. First problem is that I cannot launch any version of mame in rlauncher other that .166. when I got to select module that's the only one available and because I have .177 mame64 installed it give me a error when trying to launch. The problem is solved by installing mame .166 but my romset is .177 so this is not pratical really so could do with knowing how to get around that within rlauncherui. Second issue (not exactly a issue just a question) hyperspin loads mam…

Hello I am finishing this system (MGT SAM COUPE) for myself (and to share). Some games do not auto load. It seems like the emulator has a function to load the games that do not autoload??? but i cant get it to work. If anybody has or can...please let me know. SoulMagician (1992)(Pc-Act) for example i am tweaking the module to type in the commands to load the game but if i can avoid that that would be great
