"No Default_Emulator..." when running HyperSpin on external drive & volume label is different

[brudog56]

Hello all,

 

I'm fairly new to Hyperspin.  I've been building out an HS/RL environment on an external USB drive.  When I connect the drive to different computers in my house, it gets assigned a different volume label (e.g. D: instead of E:).  I didn't think this should be an issue since most paths are relative in Hyperspin.  However, I received the following error when attempting to launch a Sega Model 2 ROM:

 

 

This is on my desktop, where the drive was assigned D: whereas, on my laptop, where I've been doing most of the buildout, it gets assigned E: by default.

 

I've been looking through my Hyperspin directory to see if I can find this E: path in an INI or XML file somewhere, but I'm not finding anything.  In RocketLauncherUI, if I look at the settings for the Sega Model 2 emulator under Global, I see that the path to the emulator executable is relative:

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Is HyperSpin supposed to be able to deal with the volume label changing, or should I just ensure that the external HD receives the same label across computers?

Ensure the same letter is used by all PC's. When I set mine up I used the letter "z" to ensure all computers would not have it assigned already. Anything after j or k would probably work though.

OK, solved the problem..  The path to RocketLauncher is specified in .\HyperSpin\Settings\settings.ini

 

I changed this line:

Hyperlaunch_Path=E:\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe

 

To this:

Hyperlaunch_Path=..\..\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe

 

This effectively removed the dependency of the volume label being the same.
