Hi guys

 

I hate asking for help and wont normally do it until I am banging my head on the keyboard, I am ALMOST at that point lol

 

I have followed a video tut to get up and running (by Simply Austin), I am starting with MAME only using Hyperspin and Rocket Launcher (for now, other Emu's are available)

 

I have got all the paths in the right places, Rocket Launcher finds all my ROMS
I have had to disable 7Zip support for Mame or I get an extension error
I told Rocket Launcher that the default Front end is Hyperspin, set up the correct paths etc

 

I can launch the games in Mame (of course) and from Rocket Launcher  (ALT L)
On the video in Rocket Launcher his said launch with Hyperspin, but mine still stays with Rocket Launcher - not sure if that's a pointer to my problem?

I can run Hysperspin, it shows games (not sure if it reading my ROM SET, but I cannot press start to ermmm, START

I have checked all the paths and checked Rocket Launcher finds my ROMS, but it's like Hyperspin is not linking to Rocket Launcher properly

I am using Mame UI x64 with 0171 full Rom Set

Any thoughts on what I have missed please?

 

Thanks in advance

Sounds like you are missing a step in Hyperhq. When you set up the mame wheel did you add the extensions. 7z,zip,Chd,rar?

ok, NO I din't do that - I didnt even see it :/

So the format there is .zip|.7z  or zip|7z without the dot?

 

Thanks

 

Sorry, just seen the info at the bottom of HyperHQ window, will try that

Since you are using hyperlaunch, you don't need to set any extensions at all in hyperhq. The extensions should already be set in RocketLauncherUI but check if that is missing. And do NOT add chd as an extension. That will cause issues.

Is there a way to check it is using Rocket Launcher then as I think it might not be? Putting the extensions in fixed it but....

I don't see Hyperspin on the menu in Rocket Launcher ?

If it's still using HyperLaunch, no. The emulator has nothing to do with that. The problem is with the setup of HS and RL itself somewhere. After you renamed your paths did you change them in your Settings.ini and your frontend paths in RLUI?

Yes, and double checked and checked again - it seems to be my Mame exe mate :/

It's still using HyperLaunch. I don't really know what else to suggest at this point. Every other time someone's had this error it's been due to either not running HS 1.4, not having the path to the RL exe set correctly in the Setting.ini, having your HyperSpin folder named something other that HyperSpin, or antivirus blocking some aspect of HS or RL.

I am completely confused too now - thought I'd cracked it :/

 

All paths are there and my Kaspersky is set to TRUSTED for all the programs running

Maybe I will bin it all in the week and start again, just to see what happens

 

Thanks for your time mate, it is appreciated
