HyperElectronicGames (Launcher for Electronic Games)

[r0man0]

Great work r0man0!!!    Quick question, are some of the games you have on the database missing?  an example is Chef.  I see on the db, artwork, but no folder for it?  Thanks in advance!

Hi , one of emulator folder is called "Handheld Quake" , it's a multi-emulator and some of simulators from database like "chef" come from this folder.

Be carefull with all path and filename if you made any change i'm not sure that my launcher still works.

Hello again,

 

I wanted to report that majority of games are launching for me now, just the odd one doesn't seem to want to load and everything loads at 800x600 now.  I still can't seem to get it to recognize xarcade key presses, most of the handheld games use ctrl keys and arrow keys to move, neither of which are recognized when pressed on the controller.  I enabled xarcade controls in the settings.  Honestly though these games are more for the sake of having them, they aren't likely to get much play so I'm just happy they work at all.  

 

One thing I would really like to see however is a demo video for the system wheel, there was a guy who posted on page 1 of this topic that had his own set up going and it looks nice, maybe you could get the system theme from him?  It's the only system on my wheel without a video and I'm not sure where to find one....

 

Regards

Dark

Ok Dark , it's a bit difficult for me to test X-Arcade option because i don't have this kind of controller at home. So i just want to know if you have set up hyperelectronicgames.ini correctly , can you post me this file ?

I understand that you are enjoy to get thoses games on your hyperspin hard drive , but for the rest of people that want to also play them , i will try to resolve this problem.

For the guy who post his own set up on first page : use this link to get the medias you want :

http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/topic/10427-electronic-games-for-hyperspin-game-watch-package/

Some of artworks from his pack come from mine. But i prefer keep my pack as he was originally. Just make your own mix of medias.

Thanks for report ,

Thanks r0man0, I will try it out this evening and report back.

[dark]

Well I'm happy to report to you that key presses from x-arcade joystick now register.  The only bit of trouble is many of these games have strange controls, like Oil Panic for example uses 'Q' for left and 'P' for right and I don't see any way to change that.  There are still some games that won't launch through hyperspin for me.

[relic]

use xpadder then you can use keyboard keys to control your gamepad or whatever you have in your palm its free via torrent or for a lil donation of 10$ you can keep up to date

Ok dark , for oil panic , do you mean that x-arcade emulation doesn't works ? i've tested with keyboard sucessfully but maybe it's different with x-arcade tankstick.

could you tell me witch ones doesn't launch from hyperspin ?

If emulation is ok for you i will update full package with the new launcher you've tested.

i shitoken , your ini is ok , my launcher works on win7 sucessfully but I've not try with win8 :

First check if electronics emulators works directly from their executable.

Secondly you can use win 8 compatibility mode :

Thanks Roman

 

I will try above mention first and let you know the result.

[shitoken]

Hi Roman

 

Games is working if I just run the emulator.

I did troubleshoot the launcher to compatibility with win8 but not working not matter what I do.

[r0man0]

For some autohotkey scripts Administrator mode is required.

You can try to set the executable to be run as administrator.

On win 7 you have to right click on executable (hyperelectronicgames.exe) then

"properties"-->"compatibility"-->check "Run as administrator".

Maybe this configuration is the same on win 8.

Thanks.

 

Set this up last night but the games are so tiny. Had to use my binoculars just to be able to see what was happening in that tiny screen. Is there anyway to change that? The resolution is already set to 800x600. Not sure if lowering it even more is a solution.

[r0man0]

Yes , most of emulators use 800x600 resolution , for some of them they can use 1024x768 ,

i've tested all of them to set the best resolution to fit all the screen ,

but as you said lowering it is not a good solution : recent monitors (like mine) do not support the 640x480 (maybe too has been)
