How to disable roms / wheels

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

In the past i have always struggled to clean lengthy databases (MAME in particular) when i only want to display a few games for that system inHyperspin. It seems straight forward at first, but with my luck, something always goes wrong.

 

I'd love to be able to switch on a setting that only displays the wheels for each system that actually have roms for in that particular folder. I've heard there is a setting in HyperHQ for this but not sure where exactly and if it is that simple?

 

Thanks in advance.

I think he wants the bottom one "roms only". Unless I am misunderstanding, I think he is asking to only display wheels for games that he has roms for.

 

After a reread I think you're right.

In that case you will need to add your Rom path as well. If HyperHQ crashes when you try to add the path, then you will need to add it manually.

Perfect guys, that's exactly what i was after. Only displaying games in the system's wheel within HS for roms that i have in the roms directory for that system. I should learn to be much more specific.

 

I'll give that a crack and see how it all goes.

 

Thanks so much again

ok so ive placed 1 zipped rom file in to the rom directory for MAME on my computer - C:\Hperspin\Emulators\MAME 161\roms\

 

I've then tested it separately through MAME and it works fine

 

Ive gone in to HyperHQ and selected Wheel Settings> MAME>

 

Under the Emulator tab, ive added the rom path C:\Hperspin\Emulators\MAME 161\roms\

 

I've added the Extension - .zip (note, i also added "zip" without the . and still had the same result)

 

Now under the Navigation/Themes tab, i've checked "Wheels only" and "Roms only" and both had the same effect.

 

As agent47 mentioned, im just bouncing back to the main system wheel selection after selecting the MAME wheel.

 

Ive also tried the following combinations:

  - Wheels only and Roms only

  - Wheels only, Parents only and Roms only

  - Roms only (worked, but showed the complete list of games from the default MAME database .xml, rather than only showing the one game i placed in the rom folder)

 

Any suggestions lads? Essentially, when i select MAME wheel, i only want the next screen in HS to show the 1 game i have placed in the roms folder.

 

Cheers

That worked! I copied the rom path you had, rather than hyperspin> emulators> MAME> roms>, i changed it to Hyperspin> Roms> MAME

 

Question now is, rather than having the wheel flooded After Burner II continuously, can it just be shown once with no scroll?

 

Thanks so much

Guys! Sorry to revive this thread. I forgot to ask the same question for the actual systems. So if there is a particular system that i dont want to display when you first get in to HS. Is this pssible and if so, how?

 

Thanks, and sorry once again.

If you want to hide a system on the main wheel you can do so by editing the Databases/Main Menu/Main Menu.xml. Find the system you want to hide and add enabled="0" to hide it like this:

<game name="Nintendo Entertainment System" enabled="0"/>

Sorry agent47, that actually didnt work for me. I've triple checked it and definately in the right place and it's definately saving, but still showing all systems. Is there a step i have missed somewhere?

 

Thanks

Does the remove option in HyperHQ wizard only work in 1.4?

I removed a few systems for my android setup but checked only remove from main menu instead of complete removal.

Maybe I read this wrong but instead of upgrading (which is probably worth it anyway) you can just remove the system through HyperHQ an select main menu only to keep all the folders etc just incase you want it back later or just delete the system from the main menu xml manually

I would like to stick with 1.3, only because i need to bring the arcade to work to start using and i don't intend on doing anything else once its in and everything is setup and ready to go.

 

So i tried manually editing the xml as per - <game name="Nintendo Entertainment System" enabled="0"/> and that didn't work

 

I've also removed the systems completely from the xml and that didn't work. How and where do i do it in HyperHQ?

 

Thanks

In the nintendo gamecube ini file there is a filter section with "roms_only" change the word false to true with a text editor and save it.
