Is it hanging for both of you? 

Is everyone using version 0.0.21?

Is it always failed to log in?

Ok, go grab 0.0.22

If you run into emumovies issues, use the bug report feature. I'll take a look immediately.

and it says 0.0.22 in the bottom left corner?

[fr0stbyt3]

I was just able to reproduce. One moment please.

Hello. New to the forums. Just dropped by to say ¡Thank you!. I can't believe you've been working on this project for a whole year, and still updating it on the fly under the user's reports.

 

Keep on your great work.

 

Cab.

I'll go through a setup and see how I get on.

First off the Hyperspin set path confused me slightly because there is an area above the set path button where you can add text. So my initial thought was I had to manually add the path.

After adding the path nothing really changed or nothing populated. So I clicked the + button to add a console, chose a console and then the path button but I was not sure what path to choose. Also I could not back out of this.

As others have said, can't log into Emumovies unless there is a problem with the server at the moment.

The sync icon is spinning about so maybe something is going on, but systems and settings are greyed out.

End of report.

Just posted 0.0.24

This should fix emumovies once and for all (hopefully). 

Please test and let me know!

• I'll disable the text box and put a more descriptive button
• when using the add button, you should be telling HBL where your roms are. It'll do matching in that folder. This sometimes takes a bit
  • add loading animation
  • update labels
• should be fixed in 0.0.24
• umm... that could also indicate something isn't working. try 24 and let me know.

I was able to log into emumovies too!

I just clicked sync all after setting my path to my hyperspin folder, what exactly does it do and how long does it take? Will it just take an audit of what I have already setup? Note - I've already synced multiple systems via Hypersync previously.

I need a little more info. What systems do you have set up? Do you have settings configured for each system? What system does it say it's stuck on?

So what it's doing during validation is validating Md5 and name against all media. This should be pretty quick depending on the system it's running against.

@fr0stbyt3,

This my systems wheel:

<menu>
  <game name="MAME"/>
  <game name="Atari Classics"/>
  <game name="Capcom Classics"/>
  <game name="Cave"/>
  <game name="Data East Classics"/>
  <game name="Irem Classics"/>
  <game name="Konami Classics"/>
  <game name="Midway Classics"/>
  <game name="Namco Classics"/>
  <game name="Nintendo Classics"/>
  <game name="Sega Classics"/>  
  <game name="SNK Classics"/>
  <game name="Taito Classics"/>
  <game name="Williams Classics"/>
</menu>

 

Each one has a respective database XML. I've attempted to use hypersync to match up the emumoves and wheel art for each system, which has worked for most of the systems. (It did not work for Nintendo and Sega classics for some reason, the wheel art for the games only shows the names of the roms and there is no emumovies).

Was hoping I use hyperbase to get everything cleaner - for example, hypersync did not bring over the letters for all of the systems.

@fr0stbyt3, regarding your other questions -

It doesn't say it's stuck on any system, it just shows the animation in orange that it's syncing but doesn't actually do anything. 

I don't have any settings configured for each system, I did create a unique .ini file for each but have not changed any of the settings.

So as a heads up, none of your settings from hypersync OR your XML files are reflected in HBL. It uses its own database structure to manage your systems. So, sadly that means you have to set them all up. I am guessing what's happening is its firing the "finished" status before its done creating the animation, causing it to run forever. Please configure at least one system and press sync.

Should I maybe create a "hyperspin 2" folder to test with rather than try to use my existing hyperspin folder?

I don't mind starting all over as I'm a total newbie and just trying to configure hyperspin for the first time, how I want it, for when the rest of my cabinet is ready.

I've been using Don's hyperspin tool list generator to make my custom lists - does that tool work the same way in hyperbase?

[fr0stbyt3]

Also, a note for everyone. There is a known issue when going to MAME settings. Because of all of the data being loaded into memory, it slows down the app until you go back to the home screen. I will work on that in the coming weeks.

It doesn't yet. But from what I gather, we will soon be quite similar. Unlike other tools, we will not be reading settings from XML files. Instead, you'll be able to export XML files as needed. In later versions of hyperpin, your XML files won't be needed. So, keep that in mind.

Thanks for the reply -

I may need a little consultation if you don't mind..

My end goal is to have a single systems wheel that has a main "Mame" (arcade classics) wheel, and then all of the arcade manufacturers as individual systems with their own wheels as well.

I'd like the Mame wheel to have all the art, videos, themes, everything. All the other systems will just have the wheel art, emumovies, and their "main menu" theme will just show the preview videos of the game (no themes, unlike the main Mame (arcade classics) wheel).

I've been using Don's hyperspin tools to filter out all of the games I don't want to show up in the list (mahjong/casino...and games I won't have controls for, such as spinners, trackballs, etc.)

In addition, I've been using Don's hyperspin tools to include the specific clones I want to use on my 2 player cabinet (ex. I want the 2 player simpsons game rather than the 4 player, etc. etc.).

So, given this is what I'm using Hypersync and Don's tools for today - does it make sense that I just continue using those tools to accomplish what I'm trying to do...? Or is something changing where I won't be able to accomplish what I'm trying to do using this method and I should start learning Hyperbase? And if so, will Hyperbase allow me to do all of the above?

I apologize for the long winded message, I'm just so new and just trying to get to where I want to be with the least amount of work possible!!!

@jtb1987

So, you'll have the following Folders:

• Mame Classics
• Manu 1
• Manu 2
• Manu 3

You would like all sub folders except the main menu folder to come from the first "Mame Classics" folder. Right? If so, you should continue using his tool for now to generate your XML files. Then use our app the sync the data. Just don't add the custom systems to HBL.

Next folders: I would probably accomplish that by creating symlinks.  This will basically create virtual folders that point back to Mame.

With that said, I don't currently support "non standard" systems. So you'll have to add the main menu wheel images for manu1-3 yourself.

I hope this helps...

[fr0stbyt3]

I do really like this use case. I'll talk to the team and see if we can have better support for this in [name not mentioned on purpose].

Would you be happy with filter inside mame? So you would select mame and press a button to reveal a wheel custom categories. I could make those really easy to configure in HBL. 

Edit: We already have this now with genre support. But we could take it a step further to have them included in the main wheel.

[jtb1987]

Thank you again for the advise!

So just to re-state:

I'll still have an individual database folder for each system, including the full Mame list. Each one of these folders, I can customize the XML as I wish using Don's Hyperspin List Generator.

Once I have all the XMLs in the folders that I want, I can go into HBL, and sync all the media ONLY to the full mame list.

Then, separately from HBL, use symlinks in order to allow the individual manufacturer systems to ALSO use the SAME media that we synced to the full Mame media folder using HBL.

Finally, yo're saying that I'll just need to go into each individual manufacturer media folder to add the system logo for the main wheel (I've never used symlink so I'll have to figure out how all of that works)

Is this the right understanding?
