There is an error in your xml file :

System.Xml.XmlException: An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 387, position 22.

Check out line 387, position 22

Yea, it's the & sign. Seems it's not recognized by HyperSearch. See the last paragraph of my original post "I decided to go to the XML and see what is causing the error and oddly enough it an "&" sign in a game name. I had this happen with PlayStation and PSP too. I pulled the PlayStation XML and the error occurred at another "&" sign in a game name. Any fix for this or am I doing something wrong?"

Change it by : &

Hypersearch does not need fixing because it is performing correctly in this case. Your xml is badly formatted so hypersearch is throwing you an error saying I can't read this because it does not follow xml standards.

Some info on the xmls and how they work. http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?29481-How-to-install-HyperSpin&p=292110&viewfull=1#post292110

Also How/where did you get this xml? I'm guessing it's a certain rom2xml program.

Hello thanks for this job, but I met a little probleme when I use Hypersearch, the logo of windows start is display when I use this app how can I hide this please?

penduzecat: change the XML to & every time & occurs? Or do I have to change the ROM name and the XML to & every time & occurs?

ghutch92: the XML's are the XML's from Hyperspin. For instance: C:\Hyperspin\Databases\Nintendo Game Boy Advance\Nintendo Game Boy Advance.xml

It's the XML file Hyperspin uses to load games I'm assuming. I'm relatively new to Hyperspin so I'm kinda guessing here.

Get a new one here. If you need to get back to it click on the hyperapps link at the top of this website and go to hyperlist. Those xmls should not have issues with meeting xml standards. If they do start a new thread letting the moderators know.

Thanks ghutch92. I replied to your post before you edited it so I apologize if my response didn't make any sense. I now see what you are saying. My system came setup so I can't tell you where those XML's came from. I thought you were asking where they were located on my HD. I switched the XML out with newer ones and HyperSearch is working but HyperSpin no longer can see those files. I'm assuming the XML has to exactly match the ROM name. For example, there's a ROM called "Army Men - World War - Land, Sea & Air (USA)" on Playstation. My old XML had it listed exactly as such (with an "&" and not an "&") so the game showed up in Hyperspin but HyperSearch didn't see it and it caused HyperSearch to not work at all for Playstation. The new XML has the game listed as "Army Men - World War - Land, Sea, Air (USA)" so the "," is replacing "&". Now HyperSearch can see Playstation but Hyperspin cannot find this game unless I rename the ROM to reflect the XML which I'm assuming I'll have to do right?

This leads me to a question on the XML files in general...how do I know everything between my XML's and my ROM's matches up for all my systems? While investigating the Army Man issue I found that HyperSpin was also missing an Army Man game named Green Rogue. My old XML was missing that file completely but I see it's on the new one and yet the game still didn't show up. Then I noticed that my ROM was actually named Rouge instead of Rogue. I'm wondering how many of these errors really exist. So how can I make sure my ROM's really match my XML? Is there something out there that can tell me every ROM that doesn't have an XML entry so I can manually fix it?

Download dons hyperspin tool but yes the roms and xml have to match. The download exe do s hyperspin rom renamer and dons hyperspin list generator will work magic for u and rename accordingly

[Styphelus]

how I can realign the keyboard?

From this:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]41226[/ATTACH]

Has this keyboard issue ever been fixed?

[ninja2bceen]

That would be nice. Can we also get a png preview supported pietie?

[hiorik]

Has this keyboard issue ever been fixed?

no, i still have the same problem =(

[ninja2bceen]

Is this open source yet? Is there a way for me to help add png support? This is a finishing tough to my setup up

Thanks!

[KlopjerO]

I love it pietie! Great app! One question though. Would it be possible to have an option where you could save your search result as an XML?

[Dogway]

not interesting.

[guyverjay]

It is possible to change the exit key to something else besides escape?

[ninja2bceen]

How did you get it to escape? I have to alt f4 if, I wish I could do esc. I think it's hard coded unfortunately

[dougan78]

Same key to get in. F3?

[guyverjay]

I press escape to exit but you press f3 to get in. I'd rather you be able to press f3 to get in and out

Same key to get in. F3?

Nah that doesn't work

[GodElite]

For some reason this only works for me on the official XML lists.

For example, if I search for: "Resident Evil", it only shows me the result on the Gameboy system. However, I have the resident evil titles on PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, etc systems.

I can't find any difference between the official XML lists and mine "unofficial" list.

They all start with:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<menu>

<game name="Resident Evil 3">

<description>Resident Evil 3</description>

<manufacturer>Capcom</manufacturer>

<year>2001</year>

<genre>Survival Horror</genre>

</game>

</menu>

Does anybody else have this problem? Is there a standard XML format? It's not because of the & and &amp problem either.

I've noticed on the Hypersearch logfile, that it encounters some errors when searching the other XML lists... however it doesn't even get to the point of searching all of my installed systems. It seems it stops at half searching...

Thanks!

I found this helpful for modifying the Styles.xaml. It shows 500+ colors with their corresponding Hex value.

How do you minimize the search? Say u search and change ur mind. If I hit alt f4 it close the app and I'd have to reopen the app. I'd like to just minimize the search after I'm done or be able to back out of it. Got tips?

Alt shift n the standard shortcut to min doesnt work, is there a way to refocus hyperspin if u don't select a game from the search and not close the app?

I use the "exit"key that i have set up in HyperHQ. I use the "Y" key for that. I'm using the app in Cab-mode so I use button 1 "T" on my cab to select letters and button 2 "Y" to back out. Just like when browsing systems in hyperspin.

[Lucky1]

This app is great, working fine with the keyboard. But on my cab, I don't use the "Enter" key as accept/launch game. How can I change the config to my assigned keys which are Z for p1 and V for player 2. I already changed the config file to cabmode : True.

2ndly, I this the same search app as hypersearch (image)??? Was it part of the HS3.0 and I deactivaded the search function by mistake?

[dark13]

This app is terrific

Would be possible to add variable for alternate games wheel folder? I'm making a boxart theme and they look really bad in hypersearch...
