Hyperspin not recognising mame roms but can test launch from rocket launcher

[Bruiserh89]

Hi all

 

Yep, yet another newbie with dreams of putting together a mame cabinet. I've followed the simply Austin setup guides and the problem I have is that hyperspin cant see my roms. Clicking into mame on hyperspin just chucks me back out to the intro screen unless I uncheck the roms only filter in HQ. I've checked a few times to make sure I have the rom path correct and the other requirements. I know you guys need a log to get a better idea. Do I get that from rocketlauncher? Not even exactly sure how I do that? I've attached an Html of the log if that's usable? Sorry I'm not more helpful but help would be appreciated.

Problems with the rom filter usually means you have not set the rom extensions in Hyper HQ.

Hey Carlo. Thanks for the response! I think I did the rom extensions. In HQ they are listed as  7zip, rar, chd

[SIMPLYAUSTIN]

try zip,rar,7z mate

Think my Mame is mostly .zip so as Austin said add that extension and see if that works

Thanks Carlo and Austin. That did the trick.....at least its's got me a step closer. Sorry Austin, your guides are great but unfortunately you can lead a horse to water, just sometimes they have trouble drinking!

 

The problem I have now is although my roms turn up on the wheel of hyperspin, if I try to access any game Hyperspin says: Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\RocketLauncher\RocketlauncherUI\Databases\Mame\Mame.xml  I don't know why its looking there. There isnt such a location. The databases area is just an empty folder in rocketlauncher. Hopefully an easy solve....

 

Thanks again lads.

An update to RocketLauncher changed a few things so you need to adjust some settings. Follow the directions in green on the first post below, there is a screenshot attached to the post as well.

dear all, i'm facing the same problem as Bruiserh89

when i start my roms in rocketlaauncher they are working without any problem, but if i start them in hyperspin i get the error: Cannot fin U:\Rocketlauncher\RocketlauncherUI\Databases\MAME\MAME.ini
i did the setup due to Austins video tutorial on youtube, i already checked the rom extension in HyperHQ which are currently: zip,rar,7z,chd

Thanks a lot for your help.

Default Front End settings maybe?

I would think if you are attempting from Hyperspin you would want Hyerspin to be your default.

That way its not going to try and use a database in Rocketlauncher but the one that should be in your Hyperspin/Databases folder.

you do no need to add any rom extensions in HyperHQ,  unless you are using rom filters.

 

as Bungles pointed out,  In your Paths section of the menu;   Your default Fron-end end should point to your Hyperspin exe not your RocketlauncherUI.exe
