aironeous Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 So i did the Mame tutorial videos by Simply Austin on youtube to install hypserspin and get it working with mame . I followed them every detail and everything went great until I checked the "roms only" box in hyper HQ for the navigations tab for the mame wheel. He gives a red warning https://youtu.be/P30C0KI-neM?t=4054 that if i was using using hyperspin 1.3 with Rocketlauncher that I will get a known bug that my roms will not be found if i check the roms only box. But when I hover over Hyperspin it is 1.4 so I thought this warning does not apply to me and I did what he did to replace the actual older hyperspin application file earlier in the video with the 1.4. But it does apply to me apparantly because now my roms can no longer be found and I have tried everything I can think of. All my extensions and rom paths are correct. I can lauch individual roms from within Rocketlauncher.
SIMPLYAUSTIN Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 What exactly goes wrong? Games not showing in RocketLauncher or that they do not show in HyperSpin? Or simply that they do not run? Simply Austin's YouTube
aironeous Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 They won't start anymore. And that is the correct path to the roms and the extensions are in the mame section on hyper hq and I even checked the ini file in hyperspin and everything in it is correct and I can launch roms within rocketlauncher.
aironeous Posted September 9, 2015 Author Posted September 9, 2015 I removed the paths to the executable and roms in HyperHQ and added them back just to see what happens, Now it says I do not have a hyperlaunch 2 module for mame but clearly there is a mame module in the rocketlauncher module directory and rocketlauncher is pointing directly at it. Now I changed the roms locations to where they are expected to be by default under the emulator roms directory. It still gives the same error about no mame module.
aironeous Posted September 12, 2015 Author Posted September 12, 2015 I can launch games from hyperspin through mame but not through hyperlaunch. So no fade in's or anything like that. One time after an attempt I read the log and it was expecting the mame.ahk file over in the hyperspin directories so I amuse it by creating those directories and copying over the file and then tried it and now it gives me this invalid call to function error.
griffin518 Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 I think something went wrong with your transition from HyperLaunch to RocketLauncher. You might try re-installing that bit, then copying across all of your settings files, media folders, etc. They'll all still be applicable.

aironeous Posted September 15, 2015 Author Posted September 15, 2015 There is no transition. This is the first time I have ever done this. This is seriously the worst cost to benefit ratio I have ever seen in any program almost on par with windows 8!I have all details correct in all of these things and still it fights me. All the f&^*ing arrows are pointing at each other in all of these programs and Now the rocketlauncher UI doesn't even come up anymore when I launch it, it just stays in memory forever never giving me the UI so I went to the very files it handles and tried it that way and it still does not work. Seriously, this is f^&*ing bu**sh*t. All for a wheel that spins and auto plays a video that I have to pay $40 or $60 for?! No thanks I get with MAMEUI a snap and a optional video play plus marquee and even cabinet shot through emu and IT ALWAYS WORKS! F*&^ this f*&(^*& sh&^. I AM DONE. Is it rocket launcher or hyperlauncher? Makeup your Fn mind. Why is it looking for a mame.ahk in the hyperspin directories? You know what, I don't even care anymore, you are making this way too complicated. I'm done with this.
Undertow76 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 It takes patience, there are plenty of tutorials here to set it up. Look up a recent tutorial, with the newest version. and go from there. We can help you, we need a bit more information. I would start from the beginning, Hyperspin can be a pretty big learning curve but it pays off in the end, hang in there it's not that difficult! Once you learn how all of this works you can go on to make something cool. This software and the plug-in's and scripts and all the artwork and video's were made here on this website as a dedicated hobby for enthusiasts like yourself and almost all of it was free... So....Keep calm, start again with another tutorial, stop dropping F-Bombs, and if you run into any trouble, ask nicely!! There are tons of helpful people on here, They helped me get mine up and running!
Metalzoic Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 It might seem like you set everything up correctly, but if you're having that many errors it sounds like you got something in there wrong. Like the others said, scrap it and start from scratch. Maybe try to follow Ghutches set up guide/tutorial here in the tutorial section which is very step-by-step and straightforward.
