Taito Type X and Hyperlaunch 3.0

langersld · July 14, 2013

I just wanted to get clarification that Taito Type X is working fine in the New RocketLauncher...

In the PC Launcher.ini...I am pointing the script to the bat files

eg:

[super Street Fighter IV]

Application=C:\Hyperspin\Games\Taito Type X\Super Street Fighter IV\Super Street Fighter IV.bat

AppWaitExe=game.exe

I seem to be getting an issue where the game starts fine but after 20 seconds closes and the Hyperlaunch "now loading page appears"

Any help appreciated

i'm in the same boat mate just cant figure out how they all go on the same wheel, obviously we need it to switch from pcluancher module for the normal games and then to the dxwnd module for the rotated shoot em ups, maybe djvj could chime in and help us out

If you haven't already have a look in the DXWnd modules folder. There is an ini file called games in there which describes.... actually i'll post it.

# This file is only used for remapping specific games to other Emulators and/or Systems.
# If you don't want your game to use the Default_Emulator, you would set the Emulator key here.

# This file can also be used when you have Wheels with games from other Systems.

# You would then use the System key to tell HyperLaunch what System to find the emulator settings.

# [GameName]

# Emulator=bsnes

# System=Super Nintendo Entertainment System

[GigaWing Generations]

Emulator=DXWnd

[Homura]

Emulator=DXWnd

[Raiden III]

Emulator=DXWnd

[Raiden IV]

Emulator=DXWnd

[shikigami no Shiro III]

Emulator=DXWnd

"What does baffled mean?"

What the hell do you do with that?

sucramjd · July 24, 2013

Yeah I already looked at that and added system= taito type x but nothing happened

jcm9800 · July 24, 2013

you set the games for dxwnd emulator in hyperlauchhq under taito type x games option to other emulator there then came a list with all games in the database and you take them you want to launch with dxwnd

djvj · July 24, 2013

Ah you found the games.ini I made...now what do you do with it....

connorsdad · July 24, 2013

Afk at the minute, surely you just use another instance using the same virtual emulator only this time the instance uses the dx module. Then define games separately for the new instance but on the same wheel.

Don't have set up in front of me so bear with me.

amb7247 · July 24, 2013

Ignore

amb7247 · July 24, 2013

Nothing. Just check the virtual emulator box.
The pclauncher ahk has been updated in the last few weeks, so its much easier to setup.

Is that where I'm messing up? Is that I am entering something in there? Hmm, I'll try it. It seems when I tried to put something in there and hit the edit global settings button that it could not find module Taito Type X or something like that.

Here is another a couple of good questions.

1) On the far left of hyperspin, can I name it Taito Type X?

2) if I check virtual emulator and enter nothing in there, does it use the PCLauncher.ahk file under the module folder and should it continued to be named PCLauncher.ahk or Taito Type X?

3) last question and I'll try to dig into this again tonight. What .ini file should I use under the settings folder for this? I assume it will be my Taito Type X.ini based on the name I created in HyperHQ as it injects that name on the far left in hyperlaunch HQ.

I ask these so it helps others set up their own as well.

Thanks guys.

"You big tease!"

I think you've teleported from Long Island, stuck a skewer up my nose and scrambled my Brain.

From Your PCLauncher module lines 17-2, I guess it looks for this "games.ini" (or whatever system name you name it to) here.

StartModule()
FadeInStart()

IfExist, % modulePath . "\" . systemName . ".ini" ; use a custom systemName ini if it exists

settingsFile := modulePath . "\" . systemName . ".ini"

Else

settingsFile := CheckFile(modulePath . "\" . moduleName . ".ini")

So I renamed the "Games.ini" to "Taito Type X.ini" and put it in the PCLauncher folder.

# This file is only used for remapping specific games to other Emulators and/or Systems.
# If you don't want your game to use the Default_Emulator, you would set the Emulator key here.

Not sure if I'm on the right lines, but need a break.

"If in doubt, Make a brew":tee:

EDIT: Thats clearly not the correct place for that file. Just tried Arcana hearts and that stopped working.

So I've moved that file out of PCLauncher module folder.

Sorry.

You need to set up a wheel for taito type x in HyperHQ. no need to set anything else in there.

HLHQ

under Global set PClauncher.

From the left pane choose Taito Type X and set the default emulator to PCLauncher.

Then Edit global module settings.

Choose rom Settings, and set your games up as already outline in this Thread.

No real need to edit ini's.

Does there happen to be an updated PCLauncher.ahk on the FTP?

volumetric · July 24, 2013

As far as i know there are no (at least current) ahk files on the FTP, all the most recent scripts are part of the RocketLauncher download.

gigapig · July 24, 2013

Ahk 2.05 is on the dropbox. Maybe the downloads section as well, as volumetric said.

amb7247 · July 24, 2013

K, I just looked at the sticky. Got the location of the ahk now. It also had the isd file I was looking for as well. I had that pop up afew times when trying to click on the global emulator button you pointed out. I'll try this later tonight. I'm sure I'll have follow up which I'll have to re-read through this thread.

gigapig · July 24, 2013

Ah you found the games.ini I made...now what do you do with it....

Just finished some ironing, and thought I'd check again.

Boom!

It goes in Hyperlaunch > Settings. I'll assume it goes in the TTX folder. I'll also assume I don't have to change the ini name.

Visitor Q · July 24, 2013

I got most if not all of the horizontal games working but have a strange issue with SS.

http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?14151-Samurai-Shodown-Edge-of-Destiny-uncracked-but-released/page6

^^^ If anyone can help me with this, that would be great!

I can't seem to get any of the vertical games working. When ever I manually rotate them after I launch them, they crash. Some will launch and rotate ok if I use the Taito Type X FE but I find these to be my biggest challenge.

I think the problem in general with TTX is there are so many different rips of these games. Some work and some don't. Some work with certain launchers and others don't.

connorsdad · July 24, 2013

Slowly getting there with my first vertical game Gigawing, I have my monitor physically rotating but the actual image is upside down, just need to figure this out without editing the module.

If you have the time, could you let us know how got to were you are? We could then work on any further issues as a group.

I'm still struggling to get these working. I think it would be easier to attempt Time Travel than get these verts working.

I think from memory Visitor, the screen needs to be rotated before the game launches. Otherwise Crash!

So are you using the DXWnd module?

Did you download the dxwnd.exe and put it into \HyperSpin\Emulators\DXWnd?

Then I added a new emulator in the taito type x tab, named taito vertical, path \HyperSpin\Emulators\DXWnd\dxwnd.exe, selected DXWnd module, ticked virtual monitor. Go into modules and set up the rom in PClauncher the same way as other roms. I've just realised I have setup a new emulator but I'm not using it doh, off to try defining the game to use the taito vertical emu.

TBH I think I'm as lost as the rest of you

I have tried a few different methods. I know I did try to rotate the screen first and then boot the game... I think it crashed or didn't display right.

connorsdad · July 24, 2013

I have defined a new emulator using DXWnd as the module, what rom extensions/path should I use ?

Thank you Sir, I have read and am getting some where.

My games ini (found in E:\HyperSpin\HyperLaunch\Settings) is in my Taito Type X folder.

It looks like this.

# This file is only used for remapping specific games to other Emulators and/or Systems.
# If you don't want your game to use the Default_Emulator, you would set the Emulator key here.

# This file can also be used when you have Wheels with games from other Systems.

So now it's using the DXWnd module as you can see from the log. But either I've missed something obvious or I've missed something simple?

Shouldn't you be defining what system to use

System=Taito Type X under all of them eg

[GigaWing Generations]

Emulator=DXWnd

System=Taito Type X

Taito Type X and Hyperlaunch 3.0
