HyperSearch

[ninja2bceen]

So if you are on the beta, hypersearch causes mame to lose focus?

not mame, hyperspin... I'ts like hyperspin will always be on top of hypersearch.. sounds wired, but true.. works perfect on hyperspin 1.3.3.

 

On hyperspin 1.4 beat 015, when press F3 to bring up hypersearch, the frontend still runs in the background, so after 2-3 secs, hypersearch gets in the background, then you can bring it on again, search, and, the same happen again when enter a game, frontend (hyperspin) takes control of this 3rd party app..

Okay, this is wierd.. Worked like a charm the other day, now it fucked up again !!!! I surrender ...

Can you share the PSD i willl like to make a theme for the search wheel on my main menu.

Here is an .exe to send F3 to call hypersearch... and dont display any fhasing window, just the search window.

I have some thoughts around LEDBlinky support.  I just instlaled HyperSearch this morning, and i'm really excited about how well it works - except with LEDBLinky.  

 

After reviewing all of the logs, I think I see where the possible issue is.   When you launch a game from HyperSearch results, it "skips" HyperSpin and launches the game directly from RocketLaunch (HyperLaunch).  

 

LEDBlinky is still in "menu mode".  HyperSpin is what sends the command to LEDBlinky to start a game (light the appropriate lights for that game profile).   HyperSearch needs a way of calling the LEDBlinky commands on game launch.   HyperSpin (HyperHQ) only has a LEDBlinky on/off setting.  So I'm guessing all of the command calls are embedded in the application itself.  

 

You can install LEDBLinky software and enabled the support in Hyperspin to watch the calls in the HyperSpin log I think.  You don't need a LED driver.    The calls on game launch look like...

 

"d:\ledblinky\ledblinky.exe "2" "mslug""   (I don't know what the number means yet...  still looking in the LEDBlinky docs)

 

thanks again for the awesome program.

Hello, love this addition to HyperSpin, but I'm having issues with it playing videos. I noticed other people had this problem as well (just read through the entire thread and didn't see any sort of fix).

 

Running HyperSpin 1.4 with RocketLauncher and the latest HyperSearch (I'm assuming it's the latest version, I downloaded it today). All of my video snaps are in their default paths ie) C:\HyperSpin\Media\[system Name]\Video\[File Name].mp4

 

Wheel Art shows up in HyperSearch without any issues and the video snaps work just fine in regular HyperSpin operation, they just don't show up in HyperSearch. It just loads up a black box in the video area (and not even the black box shows up if I move to another search item), while the log shows:

 

Video failed to open: System.Windows.Controls.MediaElement, with error: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Media file download failed. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0xC00D0FEA): Exception from HRESULT: 0xC00D0FEA

 

Was some sort of workaround ever discovered, or does this issue still plague some people? I can live without videos in search mode if I have to, but I'd rather not. Anyways, keep up the fantastic work.

 

Edit: I've seen videos on the youtubes showing video snaps working for some people, so obviously this issue doesn't affect everybody. Sigh.

For those that are using HyperSpin 1.4 Beta, it is recommended to update HyperSearch to the May version since it allows us to specify a custom RocketLauncher.exe path.

 

I noticed one small bug: The game video for the first game will never be played even if it exist. So remedy this I have to select the next game and up again for it to load. This might have a problem if the selected system only have 1 matching game because there is no way to refresh it by selecting another game.

I think i saw a hypersearch theme somewhere in the past with a magnifying glass flying around, anyone got that one?

I can't find it in the downloads section anymore..?

[ninja2bceen]

Check my hypersearch download

Your hypersearch download only had a theme with a static background containing a psx controller?

[ninja2bceen]

Bah sorry I uploaded the wrong theme. I'll fix tonight

Life got in the way yesterday but here it is.

 

1. Under your Hyperspin folder create a folder called HyperSearch and copy the files in this version from here: http://1drv.ms/1NvlgGX

 

2. Open HyperSearch.exe.config with notepad and change the following paths to yours

 

                                               <add key="HyperspinPath" value="H:\Hyperspin"/>

                                                <add key="LauncherPath" value="H:\Hyperspin\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe"/>

 

 

3. In your Main Menu.xml (in your Database folder) add the following line: 

 

                                             <game name="Search" exe="true"/>

 

4. Copy the Search.ini file from my link to your Hyperspin\Settings folder, open it and change the path to where you have HyperSeach in your computer

 

5. Copy the Theme in my link to  your Hyperspin\Media\Main Menu\Themes

I am congratulated you for this add on that magical and very practical.

 

I tried it and everything works as you have described, my problem is that I can not include it in my arcade cabinet, because I use a JammaSD with mame layout, for when I want to select letters with my panel in the virtual keyboard that launches the search.

The reason I understood it, I attributed the "control" key has the [start] of Hyperspin, suddenly when I press the button to confirm the letter I also launching research. I do not want to change because I have Hyperspin print an instruction card for my arcade cabinet

To solve this problem it should to change in the config.ini of the key hypersearch for research but this is not possible.

To close it is also a problem because my arcade cabinet I have no possibility to Alt + F4 keyboard without what is still the goal of a front end.

 

Any idea as to open and close will have the possibility to make a key conbinaison

[ninja2bceen]

In the ini u can change the hotkeys to launch. To close I think the right mouse key goes back too but u have to double or triple click or whatever ur back button is. Add it as a hyperspin main menu wheel and u can close it and reopen it to perfection

Yes I see that after my post, it's a good solution without keyboard and mouse.

 

To my problem with the Ctrl key, you can delete the shortcut Ctrl + [start] because I have a conflict?

 

I also find a small problem when you're on the virtual keyboard if you press [exit] (Hyperspin key for me it's shift) hypersearch this minimizes and Hyperspin remains inert. I think that we should not make this possible, as we navique returning the exit with the key this is normal but it should not be able to quit the application and stay on the virtual keyboard.

[ninja2bceen]

I have the same gripe that's why I added it to the wheel so I can close and reopen often. I think in the ini u can change to cabinet view that may help

[stickcross]

I just tested CabMode option in the ini file, it makes it impossible to write with the keyboard instead of the virtual keyboard but I still have the shortcut Ctrl + [start]. So that does not solve the problem

 

I have another question about the videos, it does not work at home I'm in .FLV, I put an MP4 to see and it works, hypersearch takes only MP4?

[ninja2bceen]

Yes only MP4, png I believe. The creator does on hiatus for months end.

[stickcross]

You can not build me a version without that shortcut Ctrl + [start] please?

 

I have an idea to submit to you, it would retrieve the keys Hyperspin, genre, and favorites to switch from one to the other (3 modes) on fly. Currently you have to go out and return to activate each search mode.

[ninja2bceen]

Send them to pietie. He gets on once every three months. U can change the hotkeys but like u said, u can't have ctrl and x stroke
