Sting Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Has anyone installed this yet, and if so does Hyperspin still work???
JoyStickKilla Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Wouldn't expect it to if the update takes it to marshmallow
Sting Posted February 22, 2016 Author Posted February 22, 2016 ***UPDATE*** It's changed my external storage names, but still automatically mount's them. But had to change the ROM path in the (.ini) from (sdcard1/sdcard2). Can't edit external files with (es file explorer). Gives you the option to mount external as Internal, but it'll obviously format the drive and delete everything, and will then possibly encrypt everything so you can no longer edit on a PC/laptop :/
reznnate Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 The Shield ATV Android M update is good. The tablet update will require an update for USBdrives. It's lacking a proper mount path. I'm told it's only a few weeks away. Internal sdcard and ext-sdcards do work on tablets. So yes, M does change how external storage (sdcards, usbdrives) are mounted. They are mounted as /storage/<UUID>. UUID is the hardware ID/name of your storage media (it looks random, but it's a static name/volume if you attach/re-attach).. The updated Hyperspin .apk accounts for this automatically. You can leave your .ini files alone IF you put them in your /Hyperspin folder. I have my roms in /storage/<UUID>/Hyperspin/Emulators/<system>/ so my romfolder in .ini are all named =Emulators/<system>/. This keeps it simple. This allows me to copy my setup between sdcards and usbdrives on the Shield portable and Shield TV.
badhemi Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 It can't find roms. What to I need to change for ext. Hardrive. Hyperspin loads but can't find roms
rob3d Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Works great both local and USB on the Shield tv pro. Found an interesting bug tho. For the past week I've been setting up an external USB drive for a friend so he can just plug it in and get going with hyperspin. I do this by renaming my Hyperspin folder Hyperpsin2 and plugging his drive in. All loaded fine before the update and also worked after the update. The problem came when I went to rename my folder back to Hyperspin. When I loaded up all the videos and wheels were missing. Restarting thinking maybe it was still trying to source everything from the now unmounted USB, and got the same result. I check my HS folder and it turns out all media is gone except for the themes. Very strange occurrence, not sure what would cause it. All my other files in the HS folder are fine. All roms were there and databases and android settings folder were untouched. It just chose to delete all images and mp4s from the media folder. Actually that's not even true because the hyperspin launch video still loaded. No big deal as I keep redundant backups of my HS folders, just thought it was an interesting bug. Any thoughts Reznate?
badhemi Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 reznate post #5doesn't make sense. Need to know a path. I fn did a factory reset to go back to old setting and it erased all my shit and still at 3.0. The old settings were usb1 so what should my path be in ini file
badhemi Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 I can't record either this is bullcrap. When I insert hard drive in usb port I have the usb labled as USB3002 and it has hyperspin folder then when I click on that it has all my files. Then I have sd card LABELED F474B7AA74B76DCC AND IT HAS ALL MY HYPERSPIN DATA THEIR TOO WHAT THE HECK!!!! When I record it says android database insertion failure
JoyStickKilla Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 That is why I don't update stuff right away. I let others find the issues first.

badhemi Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 /storage/<UUID>did that put <UUID> and no go
badhemi Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 I'm at my last hair. My rom path is =/storage/usbdrive/Games/Mame/roms What do I need to set it at? I tried UIID with no luck.
JoyStickKilla Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 read post #5 again, you don't put UIID, you put whatever your UIID is.
badhemi Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 The usb number keeps changing. To I use sd card number?
badhemi Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 I got it it's the long a$$ number before you mount usb. What a pain to have to change all those numbers. Why can't you record anymore? Is it a bug
reznnate Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Badhemi -- this path /storage/usbdrive/ is no longer valid on M. It only worked on L. If you have Shield Android TV, use ES File Explorer to determine your drive's UDID value. THEN, /storage/<udid value> should work for you. If you have a tablet, you must use internal storage or ext-sdcard (again, use es file explorer to determine the udid). NVIDIA needs to post an update that adds a (/storage/) mount point for the usbdrive file system.
reznnate Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 If record is broken, then yes, it's a bug. I'll report it. With so much new stuff (M, Vulkan drivers, etc.), I'd expect a bug fix update soon.

If you remove the media and check on your PC, are the files really deleted? Hyperspin wouldn't do that. Let me know in personal message if you can figure out what happened.
