j600com Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 The working systems so far are structured like this... but like I say that's not working for all systems, so on 3DO etc I'm trying to do it the other way you've recommended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Sorry bud, didn't see your post. Really like the way you have done the images in your posts. how you doing that? anyway the bios file structure is totally specific to MAME. For or things like 3do you just drop the bios in the system folder. go into RA load the 4do core and go to core info. The details of bios files needed are there. My website has some infor on bios (although I'm in process of updating the site so it's all over the place formatting wise. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j600com Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Ps. I don't have an SD card, could that be why it's not finding my roms when I put /Android as the start of the rompath? E.g should it say internal/Android/ type of thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j600com Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Yeah I've gone into RA and downloaded all the cores, wasn't sure if I needed to move anything around though on the file explorer. There's an attach imagine button on the reply (on desktop) so I just took a screenshot and uploaded the file.The error I keep getting on most systems is the missing rom oneOn the Atari 5200 though it takes me out of HS and into a blue RA Screen as if the core is missing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Sorry bud busy ATM, take a look at my tutorials in this forum and I just done a full Atari 5200 one in the emulators sub forum missing rom is usually wrong path incorrect or wrong extensions set rom names don't match what is in the xml database for that system. what device you running? my shield pro path is usually storage/emulated/0 (followed by the folders in your image posted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j600com Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 I'm on an Nvidia Shield TV - trying to save everything on the internal storage coz it's 500gb one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Same here. if you put stuff in the Hyperspin directory you don't need to have the rompath prefix. So you would only need Emulators/Panasonic 3DO/roms if that's where your rim are If not most of mine use storage/emulated/0/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j600com Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 So I added 7z to the rom types and it fixed the missing rom issue. One system started playing the game fine, but others still take me out of HS and into a missing core type screen on RA So, i followed one of the guides on YouTube to load the rom directly from RA via going through the load content route - it takes me all the way through as if it's going to work, but the final step says no core / no data. Even though I've done the online updated and downloaded the cores, it's like the cores aren't downloading for some reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 You should see yellow text pop up in bottom left of RA showing the core downloading and unzipping. update the core info also. check in core info for supported rom types. (Load a core 1st) sounds like RA can't find the required bios file when trying to load. That's why your hitting that screen. Or HS parameter is wrong so not passing the correct core to launch the core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j600com Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 Yeh it does that in the bottom left.What do you do when it can't find the Bios, is there a way to download it / point it to where it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j600com Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 I don't think hyperspin is for me :/ it's too fekkin complicated and glitchy - time to throw the towel in I think. Thanks for all your help though, gave it a good go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Try arc browser stick around here if you fancy it though. have you tried starting from scratch with the android base pack I released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j600com Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 I think so, I've tried that many different ways now (literally spent hours and hours trying to get it working) that I can't even remember what I've tried and what I haven't. I downloaded all the new settings and re-did all the rom paths in those settings. But still the same systems worked / didn't work. The annoying thing with it is that despite following the same process / rules, some consoles are working fine but many others won't. I'm tempted to just delete it all start a fresh but I've spent hours transferring all the artwork and roms over - so might just cut my losses and delete all the non-working systems from the wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 It's a tough one to crack. If you have a load working would be a shame to delete it. just remove the ones that don't work from your main menu.xml in databases. that will hide them. Then when you are refreshed have another go. Just play some games for a bit!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j600com Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 I think my USB HDD (or messing with settings) has somehow goosed my nvidia - the system would judder constantly then crash (stop working, report or wait message) even when outside Hyperspin. Anyway as a result I've had to do a factory reset to get it working again Good news is that means I can start all over with hyperspin and hopefully learn from my mistakes and do it right from the offset. To keep it simple I'm going to run EVERYTHING off the external drive rather copying it all to the nvidia internal 500gb like last time.Anything I need to be mindful of doing it this way? My plan is just use that 1TB drive I've got already loaded with Hyperspin and do as much of the leg work as possible on that rather than on the shield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 good idea its so easy to get in a pickle!! i think unmounting the drive from both shield and pc is best practise. rather than just pulling it. im currently adding systems to my setup. just do one or 2 systems at a time. personally im doing it in rounds. Round 1, roms,main menu theme, system default theme, game wheels, pointer and launch testing. then i will move on to box art and fixing any themes settings i dont like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j600com Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 Okay so I went wrong last time at this first step Plugged the hard drive in, do I select;a; Use as removable storage Orb; Set up as internal storage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j600com Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 I added it as removable storage, seems to be working okay. Few of the wheels look a bit broke (neo geo etc) so going to tinker with it one system at a time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Yeah bit different for me as starting from scratch! Added about 10 systems on weekend you got NeoGeo pointing at MAME roms with just a neogeo specific xml? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j600com Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 No I don't think I am, is it the top /emulator path I change to mame instead of neo geo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Depends what emulator you want to use. grab the settings pack from the base pack in my signature. that will give you an idea of what badhemi has it running as. Lines your interested exe= Paramerters= what at is your actual problem with Neogeo wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
