snatex Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 I compiled a new 0.140 and it works fine now.
TeddyKGB2208 Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 I got this problem: I updated mame to 0.140, compiled with .140 diff and hiscore diff After that everything works perfect... Then I wanted to update HiToText too. I downloaded the newest HiToText.exe and replaced the old one. The same with the hiscore.dat. When I start Hyperspin now a window shows me that HiToText isn't working !!! What did I do wrong ??? Master of Disaster
Dna Disturber Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Hi Teddy, What is the exact message that you get ? Did you try to run hitotext on a commandprompt to see what it does then (without hyperspin) ? Dna Disturber Author of PINemHi............................ Decipher-dude for the HiToText project.......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxMx90ARGik HiToText 2010.11.4 Vs.

TeddyKGB2208 Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 A window opens like an error message, that hitotext isn't running. Before I changed the hitotext.exe it works. When I run it on a command propt, í think it works. I can type -h for help,... Master of Disaster

TeddyKGB2208 Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 It works again !!!! ;-) ;-) ;-) I deleted the other files and folders: convert.cs hitotext.csproj hitotext.sln program.cs hiscore.cs ... ??? I put them back and it still works... I don't know but it works like before. Maybe there was a problem with the .xml It works... Master of Disaster
Pyramid_Head Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 I'm having the same problem with "HitoText has stopped working" Can you upload your file or explain in better detail how to you did it?
Dna Disturber Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 No one else having this prob? Hi Hunk, Looks to me that Teddy had problems because an old version of hitotext wasn't removed entirely..... Don't know if that is the case with your setup though. Does hitotext work when you use it in a dosbox ? You can run hitotext without hyperspin in commandline and see what it does... Dna Disturber Author of PINemHi............................

Dna Disturber Hey! Thanks for replying. Hmm seems to work by itself in the commandline just by executing it.
Pyramid_Head Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 I hate to bump this again but it's still crashing :/
TeddyKGB2208 Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 Do you have the *.xml in the Hyperspin folder ? Master of Disaster
TeddyKGB2208 Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 Haven't seen your posts !!! Master of Disaster
TeddyKGB2208 Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 Try to update .NET framework. 1.) Which Mame version are you using ? 2.)a) When you run Mame by itself, does it save your hiscores ? 2.) If MAME doesn't save your Hiscore I can help you to install the diffs... Master of Disaster

Secret80'sMan Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 where is the hitotext.xml file supposed to go? In the HS Database folder? I have it in the root directory for my HS install right now and the program seems to work but am I missing any functionality by not having the xml in the correct spot? Or is it in the correct spot? Thanks!
Dna Disturber Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Hi Secret80'sMan, The root of HS install is the right spot, the hitotext.exe should also be there. So you're not missing out on anything ! Dna Disturber Author of PINemHi............................

Secret80'sMan Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Thanks DNA Disturber, was easier to set up than I expected. I assume the file I downloaded from Source Forge is the very latest version then? Also, are you aware if Q Bert works with it or not? I can't seem to get the scores to pop up with this one but I know that roughly 10% of games are available so would understand if it was not yet available. Also, when a new version of HiToText comes out do I simply overwrite the old exe file and replace the old xml with the new one, is it that simple?
Dna Disturber Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Yes it's that simple to answer your last question first. Only thing you also want to do is get the latest hiscore.dat (and put it in the mame-folder) from fyrecrypts place to make sure everything works ok. Now the thing about Q*bert is that it uses nvram , it is supported by hitotext but hyperspin runs hitotext with parameters that unfortunately (for now) only works for .hi files. All nvram games do not display the hiscores in nvram (for now) in hyperspin. To make this work it would require a change in hyperspin or in hitotext. Don't know if it's a lot of work but I hope Fyrecrypts can make an adjustment to hitotext so that it will work in all version of hyperspin....(can't wait to see 2.0 in action).... If you want a list of games that hitotext supports you can use hitotext on the commandline for instance hitotext -l (for all games) or hitotext -lp {mamedirectory} (for all parentgames) You can also see the q*bert hiscores when you use the commandline hitotext -r {mamedirectory}\nvram\qbert.nv Dna Disturber Author of PINemHi............................

Secret80'sMan Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Many thanks DNA, thanks for getting me up to speed on this. Keeping my fingers crossed that HS 2.0 supports nvram high scores in HiToText.
Secret80'sMan Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 This is mostly for FireCrypts but also for anyone else who might be in the know, at one point the program was called HiScanner so that FireCrypts could see his friends score across town. Was the program originally networkable and if not is that something we can look forward to in the future? I don't mean with the entire world but perhaps you could put in a buddy's IP address or something and have his high scores register. If the program already does this can someone clue me in on how to do it pleez!
Dna Disturber Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Fyrecrypts was working on that He had a nice working version of it (alpha test). I think real-life got in the way. But maybe he's still working on it......only Fyrecrypts can answer that. Last time I heard of it was more than a year ago. But to this day it never went public but it has or had all the things you want. It was a succesor to hiscanner (on the byoacc forum you can look for it "ghost") Last mentioned in the title of hitotext on august 2010 "HiToText (Version 2010.8.9.0) and GHOST (may go open beta)" Dna Disturber Author of PINemHi............................
