zamik Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 not sure what i have done, but at some point today while i was adjusting my mame database xml to only show what i have, my hyperspin stopped launching games. they will launch from rocket launcher just fine, but if i load hyperspin and select any game from any system, nothing happens, it just never launches. i have checked system paths, rom paths, i know the enter button works. I'm just unsure of what i have done. any help is appreciated.
zamik Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 never mind i just magically fixed it somehow. i deleted the renamed copy of rocketlauncher .exe and made a new one, i think it may have been updated i guess. please delete this if a mod gets o moment.
woosdom Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 mine is doing the same thing. will try to do the same. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
zamik Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 also check to see if it is running multiple copies, did that to me as well.
woosdom Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 didn't work and no extra copies. might install new. I had just installed it on this PC so no big deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
criscrow Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 i have the same issue happening here, though I was starting to blame my antivirus for removing some files.... not sure what I did that changed things other than adding new systems and games to the database. It also seems to be loading the themes and videos in the HS menu very slowly. I will be following this thread, as of now I haven't been able to fix mine.

criscrow Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 follow steps 1 through 17 http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/topic/2187-how-to-install-hyperspin/ especially step 5 and check out steps 29 through 30 my settings.ini looks good. I already used renaming tools to fix my broken roms. if I add hyperspin from scratch can I keep all the folders with the themes and whatnot intact? what files should i replace?
ghutch92 Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 I just replace the new install media and databases folders with the one from my old install to keep my media and menus intact. For a rocketlauncher transition just copy the media folder from the older rocketlauncher. You might want to copy the old rocketlauncher's settings folder to save some time if you've already gotten deep into the install process.
criscrow Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 yeah, I'm getting pretty deep, have most of the default systems set up and have added a few new ones. Ill try doing that. If i get stuck will you be available?
woosdom Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 have done all those steps for all my other setups including this one. I'm gonna check my other setups and make sure they're still working. hope it wasn't an update to rocket launcher that messed it all up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
criscrow Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 ghutch92 went through it with me and the new copy of hyperspin fixed the issues, though now im having .ini issues but that shouldn't be too hard to fix. Hope you can get yours fixed with a new HyperSpin!
woosdom Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 it was an update. on my main desktop, I started hyperspin and worked fine. then I opened rocketlauncherui and it updated. after the update launching games in hyperspin wouldn't work. I had to reinstall hyperspin to get it to work. no big deal. I was able to copy over databases and media to get it goin again. also had to change the hyperlaunch path in hyperspin settings file to direct it to my rocketlauncher.exe.
