amcfarla Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Yesterday, I booted up my arcade game and tried launching a MAME game and now getting a message 'Cannot find Hyperlaunch.exe'. I used the game system about a week and a half ago and it worked fine without an issue. After playing that day, I received Windows 7 patches, so I let them install and the machine shut down. Yesterday, I turn the machine on and I am now getting this error and no idea why it started occurring. I am using Hyperspin 1.3.2 on my machine cabinet. I don't want to have to rebuild my cabinet being I really don't remember all the steps I did in setting this up. I am at my wits end trying to figure this out since nothing has changed past windows patches...and yes I tried a system restore and that didn't resolve the issue. I have put up a youtube video for the error https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiimHY2n41g, and here are the folders for my Hyperspin http://imgur.com/a/xGYBU . If anyone has any suggestions I am all ears since I am pretty frustrated at the moment. Thank you. Here are some of the logs of the failures: This is the main log in the Hyperspin directory: 11:54:05 AM | HyperSpin Started 11:54:05 AM | Going FullScreen 11:54:05 AM | Checking for updates 11:54:05 AM | Update Check Complete 11:54:05 AM | Startup program unavailable 11:54:05 AM | Playing intro video 11:54:09 AM | Error intializing joysticks 11:54:09 AM | Menu Mode is multi 11:54:09 AM | Loading Main Menu.xml 11:54:09 AM | Main Menu.xml successfully loaded 11:54:09 AM | Main Menu wheel loaded successfully 11:54:12 AM | Loading MAME.xml 11:54:13 AM | Main Menu.xml successfully loaded 11:54:14 AM | MAME wheel loaded successfully 11:54:15 AM | Launching Game 11:54:15 AM | Using HyperLaunch 11:54:15 AM | Getting HyperLaunch path 11:54:15 AM | HyperLaunch located at C:\Hyperspin\HyperLaunch.exe 11:54:15 AM | Cannot find Hyperlaunch.exe 11:54:18 AM | Launching Game 11:54:18 AM | Using HyperLaunch 11:54:18 AM | Getting HyperLaunch path 11:54:18 AM | HyperLaunch located at C:\Hyperspin\HyperLaunch.exe 11:54:18 AM | Cannot find Hyperlaunch.exe 11:54:19 AM | Launching Game 11:54:19 AM | Using HyperLaunch 11:54:19 AM | Getting HyperLaunch path 11:54:19 AM | HyperLaunch located at C:\Hyperspin\HyperLaunch.exe 11:54:19 AM | Cannot find Hyperlaunch.exe 11:54:21 AM | Launching Game 11:54:21 AM | Using HyperLaunch 11:54:21 AM | Getting HyperLaunch path 11:54:21 AM | HyperLaunch located at C:\Hyperspin\HyperLaunch.exe 11:54:21 AM | Cannot find Hyperlaunch.exe 11:54:23 AM | Launching Game 11:54:23 AM | Using HyperLaunch 11:54:23 AM | Getting HyperLaunch path 11:54:23 AM | HyperLaunch located at C:\Hyperspin\HyperLaunch.exe 11:54:23 AM | Cannot find Hyperlaunch.exe 11:54:25 AM | Launching Game 11:54:25 AM | Using HyperLaunch 11:54:25 AM | Getting HyperLaunch path 11:54:25 AM | HyperLaunch located at C:\Hyperspin\HyperLaunch.exe 11:54:25 AM | Cannot find Hyperlaunch.exe 11:54:26 AM | Launching Game 11:54:26 AM | Using HyperLaunch 11:54:26 AM | Getting HyperLaunch path 11:54:26 AM | HyperLaunch located at C:\Hyperspin\HyperLaunch.exe 11:54:26 AM | Cannot find Hyperlaunch.exe Then in the Hyperlaunch directory, here is the log file information: 11:58:53:000 | HL | INFO | +N/A | Main - HyperLaunch v3.0.0.9 11:58:53:001 | HL | INFO | +0 | Main - System Specs: HyperLaunch Dir: C:\Hyperspin\HyperLaunch OS: WIN_7 Architecture: 64-bit (might not be accurate) OS Language: English_United_States OS Admin Status: No Monitor #1 (\\.\DISPLAY1): 1920x1080 (1920x1050 work) AutoHotkey Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe AHK Version: 1.1.09.04 Unicode: No 11:58:53:001 | HL | INFO | +0 | Main - HyperSpin.exe coordinates are x y w h 11:58:53:001 | HL | INFO | +0 | CheckFile - Checking if C:\Hyperspin\HyperLaunch\HyperLaunch.exe exists 11:58:53:001 | HL | INFO | +0 | CheckFile - Checking if C:\Hyperspin\Databases\Main Menu\Main Menu.xml exists 11:58:53:017 | HL | INFO | +15 | Main - HyperLaunch launched directly 11:58:55:801 | HL | INFO | +2777 | CheckFile - Checking if C:\Hyperspin\Settings\MAME\Emulators.ini exists 11:59:03:252 | HL | ERROR | +7457 | Cannot find C:\Hyperspin\Settings\MAME\Emulators.ini 11:59:03:252 | HL | INFO | +0 | ExitScript - Started 11:59:03:261 | HL | INFO | +0 | SystemCursor - Restoring mouse cursor 11:59:03:266 | HL | INFO | +16 | ExitScript - Ended
Metalzoic Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Did you actually check to make sure that your Hyperlaunch.exe is still there and not missing just like it says? If it's missing maybe it was quarantined by your AV or Windows security and can be restored from there. Either way also check to make sure you have made an exception for it in your anti-virus/windows defender/windows security etc... Not saying that's your issue, just a guess.
32assassin Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 can you launch your games directly from HyerlaunchHQ according to your pictures, your hyperlaunch is located at C:\Hyperspin\Hyperlaunch\Hyperlaunch.exe yet Hyperspin is looking for Hyperlaunch in your Hyeprspin folder 11:54:19 AM | HyperLaunch located at C:\Hyperspin\HyperLaunch.exe open your Hyperspin settings ini file and make sure that the hyperlaunch path is set to C:\Hyperspin\Hyperlaunch\
Metalzoic Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Might also be a misspelling issue as it shows Hyperlaunch.exe in one spot and HyperLaunch.exe in the other. Capitalization matters. 11:54:15 AM | HyperLaunch located at C:\Hyperspin\HyperLaunch.exe 11:54:15 AM | Cannot find Hyperlaunch.exe
amcfarla Posted June 6, 2016 Author Posted June 6, 2016 I looked, it seems if I move a file that it is looking for into the directory, I get another error that it cannot locate another file that is in a directory that is different from the one it is looking for. I also changed the capitalization of the hyperlaunch.exe and it still gave me the same error. I have no idea how this became so broken from a stupid reboot for windows patches.
Metalzoic Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 And did you also check all the anti-virus stuff I mentioned?
amcfarla Posted June 6, 2016 Author Posted June 6, 2016 And did you also check all the anti-virus stuff I mentioned? I didn't originally, but decided to take a look at Microsoft Security Essentials history and what do you know, on 6/4/2015 two Hyperspin files were detected as trojans. I restored the files back to the their original location, and MAME games work now. I made sure to exclude that directory from virus checking in the future. Thank you for the suggestion on checking that @Metalzoic, which fixed the issue.
