Feanor7777 Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 I'm at my wits end here. I installed my Hyperspin according to SimplyAustin's video tutorials. I currently have 1.4 and Rocketlauncher's path is set up correctly in the .ini. I made a .xml for my genesis roms with Don's tools and dropped it in the Hyperspin genesis directory overwriting the previous one. The games launch correctly from RocketlauncherUI. I have Hyperspin set as the default frontend in Rocketlauncher. I have the rom folder path set up as well, and the extensions (.bin and .smd are all I have) are correct. Oh, I also renamed my set with Don's tools before making a new .xml (some games were apparently not recognized, but I will cross that bridge later). I have no idea what could be causing that. When I click the Genesis wheel, the screen quickly fades to black and goes back to the main wheel. It only happens with the genesis one. The others that I did not fiddle with go to the rom list (though they dont work since nothing is set up for them). I tried troubleshooting this yesterday for hours, but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks.
kylecp1979 Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 do you havve roms only selected in hyperHQ? try turning that off if you do.
Feanor7777 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Posted March 26, 2016 do you havve roms only selected in hyperHQ? try turning that off if you do. I can't find that option in HyperHQ. Where is it? Also, should I populate the "Executable" and "Rom Path" in HyperHQ under the emulator tab for each wheel? If so, is executable something I should point towards RocketLauncher? For the record, I tried with that empty as well as pointing it to RL and Hyperspin.
Spawk Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 I use "roms only" for all my systems. Just make sure you set rompath and extensions in hyperhq. Speaking of extensions, a quick look at mine and they are all .MD not .SMD And are your roms not zipped/7zipped? Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk
Spawk Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 No need to ever set the executable in hyperhq. Let RL handle all that. The rompath and extension set in here is just to populate the wheel when using the "roms only" option (found in the navagation tab). Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

My roms are actually .gen and .bin. I am not using 7zip at the time. I might in the future, but for now I just wanna get the hang on installing Hyperspin. I can't find this "roms only" option, but I looked at a log file and this might be the issue.

Where can I change that? And what does that option do?
Spawk Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Roms only is on... so I will assume either the path or extension is wrong. If you use multiple extensions be sure to place a comma between them (no spaces!) Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk
Feanor7777 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Posted March 26, 2016 It worked after removing the roms only filter and setting the rompath and executable in HyperHQ. The last part is weird since I thought RL took care of that kind of thing, but it works so I'm happy enough. For some whacky reason the genesis background and top banner shows Turbographx instead of Genesis, but that must be only a matter of changing the art in the media folders. Thanks, guys!
