HyperHQ Issues and Questions

1. How will large rom/games projects (ExoDOS, ExoWIN, r0man0.free.fr) eventually integrate with HS2/HQ?

   Another question... not sure I have seen this yet: There are a number of excellent self contained external (not NoIntro) projects like ExoDOS (dos games), ExoWin (windows) and the Commodore Amiga / 64 (r0man0) which already have GameBase or other custom sets of roms/games and matching media already ready to go. These currently work amazingly with the usability provided by Hyperspin - you can drop them in and automate them with pre-build RocketLauncher scripts. Some of these projects are so far ahead in terms of breath, hard drive images (to prevent disk swapping etc) and matching media it would take years for other projects to catchup. Will HS2 event…

2. Hyperspin HQ/2 - Portable Installation?

   Hi, Still processing a lot of the Hyperspin 2 changes after viewing the stream. One thing I have always liked about Hyperspin has been the ability to movie it to another windows machine in a portable manner (file system copy). Havin had a quick install of V2, have noticed that it is tied to a windows style installer/uninstaller and shows up in the Add/remove list in Windows. Does this mean it is no longer portable and needs to be installed and setup each time and is tied to a Windows install? Appologies if this question has been answered, I couldn't find it.

4. Kill HyperHQ for Hyperspin 2 ?

   This is the startup/exit menu in HyperHQ for Hyperspin Is there a way to add something like this to Hyperspin 2 so it allows us to add a bat file etc to exit HyperHQ.exe and Hyperspin.exe completely, rather than it being stuck in the Task Manager ? FYI, When HyperHQ is closed theJoy2Key.bat file below kills Hyperspin.exe,HyperHQ,Joy2Key and anything else you want to close.

11. Where are the settings stored?

    I uninstalled HyperHQ I deleted my HyperHQ folders on C:\ and D:\ (because of the multiple install bug) I deleted HyperSpin folder on D:\ When I reinstalled HyperHQ, it still had my login info cached, and the MAME system was still there (which I'm having problems deleting because of the auto-import rom bug) Where is the cached configuration hiding? Why can't all the configuration settings be stored alongside the app and basically be portable like every other front end system? Honestly, this is a straight deal breaker for me. When I click "uninstall" there shouldn't be any configuration left.

12. EmuMovies Basic Membership...

    Hi guys. I have a question. If I don't have a platinum membership on EmuMovies, do I get no video previews? Even the worst quality ones won't be available? I usually have a basic membership, and you could download some amount of video clips from the site for free in SD quality. If you don't allow regular users to download videos in HyperHQ, then maybe you could at least put screenshots instead? We're back to the problems of membership, synchronization, and the inability to use your media manually..... I have ALL the video prewievs for the systems I need, some downloaded from EmuMovies, many other videos, for Japanese ROMs I made myself or found on other site…

15. View Type default?

    Didn't want to record this as a bug. When I change the view type to "list" it works, but it goes back to "artwork view" If I navigate away. Not sure if that's by design or is it supposed to stay defaulted to that last view. Is this normal?

16. EmuMovies videos defaulting to C:\Hyperspin on Hyperspin 2 ?

    EmuMovies videos are all defaulting to C:\Hyperspin, regardless of the location you setup in HyperHQ (In my case D:\Arcade) When I then copy them from this location back to where all the other media is, they don't show up. Also boxart is not showing in Hyperspin either, even though it's all showing up in HyerHQ Is this a bug or can we only use C:\ to install Hyperspin ?

18. Emumovies Video Media

    Hey Gang! Glad to see you back at it!! I'm a lifetime member for both HS and Emu. Installed HQ (updating regularly) When HQ is getting media (video snaps) from Emumovies for say MAME, my first emulator setup so far, I noticed that it sources the "medium" quality preview video snaps and compared to my previous MAME preview video snaps in my HS-1 media folder I have the HD quality media, which are larger sized files. Now I know I can just copy the HD quality media videos that I have, but future option suggestion which maybe in your plans already is to add the option for HD medias. Unless I missed something? Anyway, everything else is good so …

19. Bug - Stuck Processing Roms

    HyperHQ has been stuck "Processing - Adding Roms..." for 5+ hours. (I just left it on this screen while I ran some errands today, got home and it was still sitting here) Also, this "Processing" windows blocks access to clicking the ESC button behind it. (I know I can just hit the ESC key)

20. Steam wizard security issue

    I just tried too connect my steam account and went through the wizard. I used the api key from my account however, I misremembered my account name as "Shredder" my actual account name is "Shredder5262" , However, I was still able to get through the wizard and currently a library is scanning for 7726 games that are not mine... I am assuming they are someone else's named "Shredder".... This should be considered an urgent security issue and a check should be addressed sooner than later. I just went through the wizard again and corrected the user name and it has added the correct account. This suggests that as long as you can provide an api key, you can type in whatever us…

21. Adding Specific Rom vs directory

    I'm still working on Teknoparrot and I would like to add them one at a time versus the whole thing. Not a ton of examples of this, but this would be great to have.

22. Bug - Media Download Duplication w/ _Cache folder

    So it looks like every video file is being duplicated. one in the \hyperspin\media\systems\<system> folder one in the \hyperspin\media\systems\~cache\<system> folder The files are the exact same size. The image files look like they might be getting duplicated too (files being the same size in both locations - so not actually caching anything), but haven't 100% confirmed this yet. My media folder is 113 GB, with approx. 50% of that in the cache folder alone.

25. Bug - Systems Game Display Won't Keep Setting

    On the Systems Screen, in the Change Game Image drop down, I change the setting to Clear Logos. I then go to any other selection in the left hand ribbon. When I go back to Systems, the Game Image selection has reverted back to Default. Also, the drop down does not close after making the selection.
