Unable to load Snes roms after updating wheel/cart art with Hypersync.

[markus259]

Hi all,

 

I have installed Hyperspin 1.4 and Rocket launcher as per tutorials and have currently got just Snes Roms loading via Hyperspin front end with RetroArch.

All the Roms are working without any wheel/cart art and are (U) region type.

 

When i updated all media via Hypersync, all the wheel/cart art appears in Hyperspin under Super Nintendo Entertainment System, but when i go to play a game, i get a message eg.."cannot find rom Aero Fighters (USA).smc " even though the rom path is correct.

 

The only way i can get that rom to work with the wheel/cart art is to rename the rom from (U) to (USA).

 

Does anyone know what's going on here, do i have to rename all the roms?

more than likely you updated the XML when you used the Sync utility.  Open the XML in Note Pad++ found at

HyperSpin\Databases\Super Nintendo Entertainment System\Super Nintendo Entertainment System.XML

 

you will find your roms names,  if its using (USA),   you accidental updated your XML.

 

you can't use custom XMLs (names) and use the Sync utility.

every rom has an Official Hyperspin name,  and HyperSync  matches all the media to the hypespin name found in the Official Hyperpsin XMLs.

HyperSync does not have the ability to take Aero Fighters (USA) (media name)  and rename it to your format -- Aero Fighters (U)

 

 

your best bet is to rename your roms to match the Official XMLs (You don't have to do it manually their are utilities that will rename all your roms in bulk)

or

download Hyperspin Ready rom sets (Sets that have been renamed to match the Hyeprspin XMLs)
