Cart scans and Covers

[topfitkat]

Greetings everyone, while being new into the HyperSpin scene , i spent a fair amount of time watching all the tutorial videos. However, i came to a brick wall when i wanted to add the cart scans and covers in the same page at the wheel. Could anyone please point me in the correct direction so i can fix my colecovision archive please? Thanks guys.

here is an example of what i wanted.

Its a matter of the settings in ur default theme. In there an artwork folder is selected (most of the times Artwork 3 for Boxart and Artwork 4 for Cart art). Just try out the different folders located in the Media folder corresponding ur current worked on System. If nothing works - the default theme has to be edited in Hypertheme or the Theme.xml in the zip file with an editor.

Yes, in that case, only Artwork 4 folder shows content. So i am baffled. Also, in Hypertheme, when i try to load the colecovision theme and i get the following error :

so nothing is inside ur artwork 1,2,3? if thats is the case u "just" need to find the artwork. Normally 2 of theses folders are emty and 2 are with something inside...

Artwork 4 has the covers, i added the cart scans in artwork1 artwork2 and artwork3 just to see what would happen, and tried them individually as well, but no luck.

[Black Hazor]

are the files named correctly? - if that is the case the default theme is just not capable of doing both, so u need to fiddle around with it in Hypertheme...

[Black Hazor]

or just add the covers in art 3 and the carts in artwork 4 cause they might cover up the carts

[topfitkat]

yes they are,  if i add the cart scan in artwork 4 they show up.

By reversing covers in artwork3 folder and cart scans in artwork4 folders, only the cart scans shows up, i just tried now.

And the problem in Hypertheme, is that it says it cant load the colecovision theme.

so its definetly the theme...i could have a look at it in 9-10 hours as im at work right now.

[topfitkat]

That would be nice buddy, and would love to understand it as well, so i can do it on other themes.

[topfitkat]

I've tried above and beyond , and i am still stuck, let me know when you can help out, i would really appreciate it, thanks buddy.

Try going to the nes downloads section and redownload the nes default theme and place it the appropriate folder (hyperspin/media/Nintendo entertainment system/themes/)... I think that's correct.

Then see if your artwork3 and artwork4 shows up. I noticed some odd issues like u described with the themes that come with the hyperspin install and redownloading the same theme fixed the issue for me. I just figured maybe the themes from the download section might have been updated at some point or another n it has worked for me so far

Thanks buddy, ill try that. thanks for your input.
