Can anyone tell me what the proper name is for the romset needed for HyperSpin?

 

Usually it using No Intro, but in this case it doesnt. My no intro set is all wrong so I need to find a proper set. (Or maybe a no intro XML would work?)

It's probably WHDLoad, that's the set I use for the database I have. A new version of the set was just put on PD a day or so ago.

I saw it didn't know what it was, thanks I will grab that. Do those require the use of the loader? I was following Austin's tutorial and he doesn't use the loader and others have told me you don't need it. But if the roms are named that..it might be required ;)

You don't have to use the loader, I launch them through WinUAE without any problems.

 

I grabbed the package but none of the games match the XML :(

Not even a quarter done and already comments? ;)

I plan on making another guide for just WinUAE alone. This was just the first route I took when I setup the Amiga wheel on my cab. As with any guide I write, or anything having to do with emulation, this is just one out of "Billions" of ways to do it.

Thanks,

Ron

 

I would love that..Amiga has really beat my down tonight. I finally figured A TON out, got things going, learned about the settings files and that you had to save, got display looking nice.

 

What did me in in the end is controls. Every game is different. One mouse adventure game worked flawless, the next game that was a platformer tried ot use the mouse and my guy ran all over the place on his own. The PS3 pad worked in some games not others...all in all I got to actually play only ONE game out of like 30 I tried.

 

The controls..I Just don't understand. I had setup Keyboard and Mouse In the two inputs but it just..yeah..it wasn't having it at all.

 

edit: Crap sorry for double post >,<

Having trouble.  Ive been through this tutorial and several others and none address my issue.  I got winuae running perfect with all the settings im happy with.  However when I run it using hyperspin in full screen mode it goes to black and only displays a tiny box in the upper left hand corner of the screen showing about 5% of the total display.  Windowed full and windowed both work fine.  When I run he emulator outside hyperspin it displays in fullscreen mode as it should.  Ive spent hours and hours ticking and unticking every box and possible combination in the module and it doesnt change a single solitary thing when I launch.  Any help with this issue is sorely needed.  Thankl

Hi

i have got all up and running except the Xbox controller. The fire button is Alt Gr on the keyboard and I can't map that on key to joy as when I press that it shows ctrl in the box not Alt Gr. So up down left right worms on the Xbox controller with the left stick but fire stays on the keyboard only. 

Any ideas how to sort this?

Great gudie for amiga but im a bit confused

When adding the xml to rocketlauncher games only have 1 disc

I have sets where many games have 2 disc

Example another world is 2 disc but xml is one disc

I have one set where i have another world but in raw files

Should i make new adfs from there?

use fs-uae, miles better

I tried it but the xml still is one disc and the set i have is raw files but other set i have games have 2 discs and format is adf?

On simply austins guide he seems to have .rom format

So amiga have 3-4 different formats, difficult to know what set to fit

I followed this tutorial and i was able to run games outside HyperSpin but when i try to run through HyperSpin i can see WinUAELoader on the background (Pressing ALT+TAB to change between windows). After a few seconds i get an Error Waiting for Window...

 

I guess it needs more time to load the game. How could i tell RL to wait till the game completely loads?

Not that it will help at this point, but I used the below tutorial when I first set it up and more recently again after a RL update. It bypasses WinUAELoader by copying only the files you need directly into the WinUAE emulator folder. For the RocketLauncher section of the setup (after setting up the emulator per the tutorial), you only need to change settings on the "Display" tab and "WHD" tab. The pictures are different for this section due to RocketLauncher updates. Otherwise the same.

I know, I know. Some people prefer WinUAELoader.

From what I can tell .lha is the Amiga's form of compression, like zip or 7z files. However, you can open the .lha file in the 7zip program. I have a few WHDLoad sets. One of them has mixed .lha files and also .lha files inside of zip files. In other words, double compressed (Amiga format inside of Windows compression). That might be similar to the set you have.

The set I have working in WinUAE is the extracted contents of the .lha files (ex. 1000ccTurbo folder and 1000ccTurbo.info) inside of a zip file. Single compression with zip, not double. The WinUAE forums seem to agree. Extract the .lha files. Then zip them.

Regardless, the tutorials you and I followed have 7z set to false on the "Settings" tab, in the RocketLauncher portion of both tutorials. I have mine set up that way and the games load.

Good luck.

Looking at the module, it seems there is an option to use .lha files. Maybe. Have you added .lha as an extension in RocketLauncher? Not how mine is, but might work.

Not able to run Games. Before i could run it out RL, but now i can't either.

I run into a problem:   Error while unzipping: Damaged or not a zip file.

 

I tried .lha, .zip files but now i can't make it run. I tried a few times to do a clean install but the same. I'm missing something i guess.

Try setting 7z to false in the Settings tab for Amiga system. Shouldn't be unzipping.

I have it like this and no way :(  As i told you, in windows terminal before i could run some zip games. But now either in terminal or RL i can't. Don't know if is there any other place for config than in WinUAE or WinUAELoader Emulator folders.

Did you decompress your .lha and then rezip? I think the .lha files are gonna cause you problems. Zips pass "testing" for integrity in 7zip program?

The problem right now aren't the .lha files. I downloaded some .zip files to test and i made it work yesterday. But today .lha or even .zip files doesn't work out of the emulator. I have find just now an Amiga config stored in C:\Users\Public Documents\Amiga configuration and i delete it. And now i'm going to start tutorial again. I will tell if it works. Many thanks for all your support! :)

Following Tutorial Step by Step i get this error when try to launch a game from Windows console:  "Create Device Failed, 8876086C S=1 F=0876 C=086C (2156) ()"

 

When hit "Accept" it starts the game! How could i prevent this error to appear?

I have been able to run games following again this tutorial. As i mentioned before i had a folder config created by "don't know what program" in C:\Users\Public Documents......." i deleted it. Start from scratch and follor this tutorial and worked like a charm!

Thanks @gigapig and @wesfranks (And all others) for your help!

Cool. All props go to rfancella. He seems to have knocked out all of the more "interesting" systems.

Thanks also to Gigapig. I was just about out of anything of value.
