hs / rlaucnher setup help

[l0cut15]

Post #1 I've spend a day on youtube. Stuck.

Im trying to setup hyperspin 1.4 and rocketlancher for mame games in my cabinet.

I have rlancher installed in its own directory

I have hyperspin 1.4 installed in its own directory

I have emulators nested under hyperspin.

I've updated all of the roms paths in both HSHQ and rocketlaucher. I can launch games from rlancher but when I run hyperspin there are no games in the mame wheel.

I've missed a step I think. 

how does rlancher send its list of games to the Hyperspin GUI?

 

Thanks

Brett

Thank you agent47.

This seems to be the step I've miss;ed. 

Is the xlm dynamically created ( eg:  mame -listxml) or do I need to download a prebuilt database?

thanks.

Here is the one from hyperlisy

 

http://hyperlist.hyperspin-fe.com/genall.php?system=6

 

Just add it to the MAME folder located in the HyperSpin\databases\MAME folder.

Thank you!

I'm still missing something. 

Ive copied the XLM file to h:\hs\database\mame\mame.xml

On loading the hyperspin FE, I can select mame but there is no content on that wheel.

When you say "No content" is the wheel blank or does it list the game names?  Can you screen shot what you have when you go into the MAME wheel in HS?

 

Also Agent has a good point about wheel filters in HyperHQ.

Ok almost there I think.

I added extensions to the wheel. It now populates, thanks again Agent47.

 

But launching a game gives me an error. 

I installed the database under my Hyperspin directory, it looks like rocketlaucher is expecting a local copy. Should I duplicate the database or is there a way of pointing rlancher at the original copy?

Ah the old Default plugin issue.

Awesome, working! Never would have found that on my own.

I'm converting a  10 year old cabinet based on Windows XP and MameWah to a modern computer. Hyperspin seemed overwhelming to me at first.

What a great community, friendly and engaged. Good to meet you.

Thanks for the help,
