[BlueScreenTT]

Hi ! i have read the other 3 posts regarding hyperMatch crashes but it dont seem to help !

when i try to do a fuzzy Match i get this error !

See the end of this message for details on invoking

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

For example:

<configuration>

<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Any ideas what is wrong ?

it worked yesterday but today it is broken

and yes i have done alot of changes to the system but only via the hyperlaunchHQ

This may probably sound completely insane but for the system you are trying to play with go into HyperHQ (yes I said HyperHQ) and setup the paths for your ROMs and the emulator etc. Don't change the HyperLaunch radio button just add those fields and try again.

And yes that worked !

i cant remember i have changed any settings in hyperHQ only HyperLaunchHQ

Thank you

For anyone else reading this thread the reason this is required is that the third party applications are looking through your system using the older school methods. Although the new RocketLauncher is used to launch your emulators and it can take the Command Line Interface string sent by HyperSpin without issue the third party apps are not aware of this. They expect to know from your HyperSpin settings files what the heck is going on. So when you put your details into the HyperHQ Executable / Rom Path / Extensions field what you are doing is telling the third party application what you are using and where it is. I know it is another level of complexity but please bear with it if you want to use third party apps as there are a LOT of variables with systems like these and RocketLauncher doesn't need HyperSpin to run and the third party apps are based around HyperSpin and it's requirements.

Simply put. Stick values in the boxes. Leave your Radio button checked for HyperLaunch. Open your third party application and try again. It should work.
