aldub516 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Hey guys. Ive been a lurker forever, and a big fan of hyperspin. Over the past few weeks ive slowly been putting together my ideal system and fixing problems from my first install (for example, having emulators or roms in other folders, directories, etc) so this time a did a clean install.. kept hyperspin on the root of the drive.. and just basically did it the smart way this time around. I have an internal HDD that i use for my emulation projects. My thought was that if i did it right the first time, id be able to simply copy the folders to a new HDD, change the drive letter to the original drive letter, and that would be it.. My first mistake, was setting my internal drive to letter A as it appears that i cannot change drives to the letter A on other systems, or not easily atleast. So my option was either re-do it all with an approriate drive letter, OR find a way to switch over the directories. With a little research i found that all i have to do in hyperhq is just change the rom directories and such on the wheel options for my emulators.. and that has since worked fine! except mame.. mame doesnt seem to have any settings inside hyperhq, for emulator or rom directories etc.. So here are my direct questions: 1- Now that i changed all my wheel options for my emulators to reflect the new drive directories, why cant i get mame to work? all other consoles work now.. What do i have to do to mame to read off of a new directory? 2- What is the ideal method for building a hyperspin drive, that can either be copied to other drives for new cabinets, OR a portable drive that can simply be plugged into any machine and playeable? Ive read a little bit about the relationship between drive letters, portable drives.. and although i forget the term, someone once discussed adding a feature in hyperspin that changes the way directories work, to allow a portable drive to work in any system.. So yeah, thats where im at. I need to build a nice clean hyperspin drive, that can easily be copied to new systems, or carried over on a portable drive.. How do YOU masters set up for hyperspin drives? My main issue for now is getting mame to work on the new drive thank you all and i hope to begin contributing to this site with things ive learned.
Spawk Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Drives A: and B: are usually reserved for removable media (floppy disks!). That's why system drives are always C: so not sure how you even did that! Anyway... 1 - must also configure the rompath inside mame itself! 2 - portable is only feasible with systems that don't need any programs/emulators installed in windows. (eg: some emu's are installed to windows not just ran, also some cd based systems need other software installed like dtlite) RL also requires that .net 4.0 be installed so whatever system you want to use it on needs that installed too. You can have a look at "relative paths", but again this is emulator specific. Some will work fine, others want a "full path". You can try to do a separate HS portable build but HS is not really designed to be portable.
aldub516 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 thank you for the response! As for the drives lol, i have my main C drive with a solid state..i then installted 2 internal drives, and however i did, when i installed them i chose them as A and B.. Made sense then.. now i realize those first few are usually reserved and i shouuld go with J or something. I didnt think about changing the mame directory within mame, and shall try that now. Relative paths was the term i came across and read up on. I dont really need it to be portable, what id like to be able to do is just have j:/hyperspin with everything inside, that i can just copy to a fresh drive, change new drive to J and be on my way.. i just made the initial mistake of labeling my master working drive as A. Theoretically, minus my stupidity of the A drive.. If i do what i did using any other appropriate drive letter, i should be able to achieve what i want, and just be able to copy to a fresh drive, rename the new drive letter, and good?
aldub516 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 it actually now appears that mame isnt even working on my main drive.. Im using mame .149. I recall not having to set mame in hyperhq. but even so, when i do, i add the rom path, the executable path, and also changed the rom dir. in mame.ini. I cannot launch mame through hyperspin. I dont know when this problem began, i thought it was just on the new drive i transferred to. Is there a particular config file i can provide for someone to look over and see what im doing wrong? I do my best to learn hyperspin on my own but its a beast in its own.
Spawk Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 OK, more info is needed... Are you not using RocketLauncher? If not, then you should be! If yes, then the executable does NOT go into HQ. Just the rompath and extension. Always troubleshoot in this order (controls and exit all working) Can you launch mame on it's own? Can you launch mame through RL? Can you launch mame through HS? If #1 doesn't work, 2 and 3 will not work.
aldub516 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 Hey..Mame does indeed launch fine outside on its own no problem. I can audit and find all my games, but cannot launch any in hyperlaunch, which leads to not being able to launch in hyperspin. I can browse the menu but pressing enter does nothing. Ive used a lot of other front ends, hyperspin always seemed tough to learn, but im starting. Everything worked PERFECTLY until now. I thought the problem was with the new drive, but i cant launch mame on my own system. As for rocket launcher.. hyperspin is rough because 99% of tutorials, and file downloads dont correspond properly. I finally found a tutorial and file set that allowed me to follow and set everything up. Im aware that there is an app to basically transfer everything over to rocket launcher. I suppose i was following the "if it aint broke" motto, since i had it running as i wanted. Im open to learn or follow any suggestions. Ive inquired about updating my mame setup, but most say again, if it aint broke... .149 gives me no problems. I did notice its using MAME.AHK for version .159, maybe thats an issue? Im trying to understand how hyperspin decides where or which executable to run for mame since i dont add that in hyperhq.
Spawk Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Hyperlaunch may be ok if it does everything you want. However, it is no longer being developed so if anything does not work, there will never be a fix for it... RocketLauncher is the natural successor and looks/acts almost the same. The "transfer" utility was only needed for people who were already setup with HL. You don't really need to do this, just follow the guide here in the tutorials section to install "HS 1.4 and Rocketlauncher". Re-adding mame will be no problem. To fix your current setup, since you are using HL, you will want to remove the executable path from HQ. And make sure "Execution" is set to "HyperLaunch". Rompath and extensions are needed here though. In HL under "global --> emulators" make sure it knows where your mame.exe is. Also make sure under "mame --> emulators" you set a rompath and a default emulator.
aldub516 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 currently i have sega, gba, game gear, all ataris, model 2, etc. and all work fine, on BOTH systems. I just changed the rom and exe's on the new drive in hyperhq. Its only mame. I cannot launch mame. From what i know theres really only 2 places to change things.. in hyperhq i edit the mame wheel settings, and only add the rom directory.. In hyperlaunchHQ i can view the global and mame settings. Mame is setup with the correct rom directory, and has mame as the default emulator. I set up the mame modules and such. It used to work with no problem. I dont know what happened. Again, the only thing i notice right off is mame.ahk is .159.. im on 149
aldub516 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 I have tried and confirmed all above suggestions. Hyperhq is setup with only the required info. I double checked the global mame module, as well as confirmed the mame emulator has the rom path and default emulator set. When i used to use gameex, there was a config file i can upload to look through. If theres anything further i can provide please let me know All my games show up when i audit them... for what its worth

Im trying to understand how hyperspin decides where or which executable to run for mame since i dont add that in hyperhq. if you are using Hyperlaunch, then you have to add the emulator path, rom path and rom extensions to HyeprHQ. this is how Hyperspin decides what executable to run. if you are running Rocketlauncher, this settings are stored in the Rocketlauncher directory, this is why those HyperHQ settings don't matter ( can be left blank in HyperHQ) edit and some advice, set your Hyperspin dirve letter to a something in the lower end of the alphabet. I have mine set to J, I don't think I will ever have a PC that has more than 10 drives attached to it.

aldub516 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 That was me, repeatedly trying to open games pressing enter.. I didnt think it was recording all of those inputs, sorry and yea i absolutely intend to re -do this and fix my drive problem. That was just a mistake on my part. My only problem right now is getting mame to work. After that i can change my directories for my other drives. This is just confusing me, and not knowing much about hyperspin makes it more difficult
Spawk Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Everything in that log is still looking in "a:\" Path to HyperLaunch is wrong
aldub516 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 I apologize.. the log im showing you is my personal machine, which is indeed on A:. If i could solve this problem, im sure its the same resolution for my other drive which is F: A; is the correct path for this instance
aldub516 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 i just noticed.. in my settings.ini folder it has this line Hyperlaunch_Path=A:\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe I do have rocketlauncher in that path.. but i dont use it. My hyperlaunch is in my hyperspin folder.. Is it asking for the hyperlaunch.exe? That path seems to be wrong to me? EDIT i just changed that path to A:\HyperSpin\hyperlaunch.exe that did nothing..If it was even supposed to
Spawk Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 You have it but don't use it??????? Anyway, yeah change that line to: Hyperlaunch_Path=A:\Hyperspin\HyperLaunch\ I don't think you need the actual .exe (that is for RL only)
aldub516 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 i pointed it to the main folder a:\hyperspin and also directly to the exe. I couldnt play anything after that. I then went back to the A:\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe and it works again. btw i have rocket launcher folder because i once was going to transfer over, and didnt.
aldub516 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 I dont have a Hyperlaunch_Path=A:\Hyperspin\HyperLaunch\ my hyperlaunch.exe is found in A:\Hyperspin\ but even so regardless, does it make sense that 7 other emulators work and just not mame?
aldub516 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 here is a new log.. i went through a few emulators. They are all working fine, except mame still. I currently have that path in settings set to a:\Hyperspin\ My hyperlaunch.exe is in the hyperspin root folder.

aldub516 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 I know nothing makes sense.. More so that this all worked fine, and just stopped.. Well. the mame did. I was able to copy my whole hyperspin root folder to a new drive.. change the directories for the emulators in hyperhq and they all work. I thought the mame was an isolated problem, until i posted this and found even my system isnt starting mame

aldub516 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 i just ran through all of my emulators. Everything runs fine. Mame will simply still not launch.
Spawk Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 OK, it does not just stop working. Let's break it down to basics again. You need to trouble shoot in steps to find out exactly where the problem lies. 1. Games load in mame directly. 2. Your HS settings state you are using HL. (other systems are working so this is correct) 3. Path to mame.exe and roms in HL. (if this is correct, you will be able to audit and launch in HL. If you cannot launch, the problem is here!) 4. Path to roms and extension in HQ. (if this is correct and the above 3 steps, games will load in HS) Make sure each step works before going on to the next step. If any one of them doesn't work, the rest wont either. Everything you've told me says there is a problem in step 3 or 4. There are NO other hidden options to configure, if these settings are correct it WILL run just like the rest of your emu's. I know you said you looked but look again. Make sure the paths are in fact correct. Also go to the folder in explorer and make sure the roms are there and are zipped.
Spawk Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 EDIT for number 4. - apparently HL also wants the emulator path put into HyperHQ (RL does not require this)
aldub516 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 1. Games load in mame directly.----- Yes, i can open up mame.exe and mame64.exe (by the way ive tried both of those all along the way just incase) and run any game fine. 2. Your HS settings state you are using HL. (other systems are working so this is correct)------- indeed, correct 3. Path to mame.exe and roms in HL. (if this is correct, you will be able to audit and launch in HL. If you cannot launch, the problem is here!)------ I went over this 10 times. Both are correct. I CAN audit, but not launch. 4. Path to roms and extension in HQ. (if this is correct and the above 3 steps, games will load in HS)----- These are correct, but since theres a problem at step 3, it doesnt work. the roms are there, zipped and fine. When i said it broke out of no where, i barely even use it. I got a nice setup working then walked away from it for awhile. Mame worked fine last time, now nothing lol
