joesmtoy Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 I am having the hardest time getting my hyperspin drive to work..... when I launch a game itr pulls up the loading game image but then just sits there. Would someone that is smarter than me(probably all of you) PLease help me figure out what I did wrong. Better yet if some one would like to pc connect and set it up for me.
newoski Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 If you're using RocketLauncher, post a debug log on their forum. You can try posting it here, but you'll get better support over there
joesmtoy Posted December 14, 2016 Author Posted December 14, 2016 I did purchase a preconfigured drive from the people above..... they even listed this site as the place for setup help. This made me feel like it was a authentic and directly from hyperspin. edited by gigapig

They list this site for help but this site is not affiliated with them.. the people that run hyperspin never sell drives and the people in the community are here on the forums to help and keep the community alive but none of us are paid to be customer service for these companies that are ripping people off! Sorry to say this but you were ripped off and it's your own fault. If we can help you we will but to be honest you're going to have to give us more information on your problem and considering that you have no idea what you have going on.. I doubt we can help you if you don't even know what you have on that drive or how it's set up. Nobody can reverse engineer the madness on that drive and we don't even know if the emulators are configured or if you even have full sets to go with the emulators. My advice is seriously find a tutorial on setting hyperspin up and take it from there.. go into the emulators and get them running outside of hyperspin first. do you even know if you're using rocket launcher or is it a out dated build using HL? Also please don't think we are being mean to you.. as a lot of people come here and assume this site is related to the people that sell them drives. You should never ever buy a pre-configured drive and for a number of reasons. Your best bet is to check the drive and see what you actually have.. if you have roms and all the artwork that actually matches the rom sets... the way to go is starting over fresh and installing a fresh copy of hyerspin which can be downloaded for FREE on this very website.

joesmtoy Posted December 14, 2016 Author Posted December 14, 2016 OOPS SORRY ABOUT THAT....I missed that part.

People can't fix it if they don't know whats wrong with it.. it could be something as simple as the wrong drive letter or needing to match the roms to the databases or it could be a complete mess and waste of time to even try fixing. I will say this.. the people that sell these drives either configure everything and make them plug and play other than you having to setup the controls for emulators... or they just sell you a half ass drive with all the parts but it's like buying stuff wrong Ikea and not having the skills or tools to put it together.
gigapig Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 They are not in New York either so don't go looking, it's some wanker in Spain.
joesmtoy Posted December 14, 2016 Author Posted December 14, 2016 I think all the roms are there. It is just not finding them which tells me the rom paths are wrong. Would it be possible to share the debug script and maybe you would be able to ID the issue. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry again for the rule violation... it wont happen again.
joesmtoy Posted December 14, 2016 Author Posted December 14, 2016 also if I understand it I could reload hyperspin and start fresh if I have all the roms on the drive....It is a 2tb drive and it is full.

Download a copy of hyperspin and set it up on your own... this would also require you set each system and configure the emulators up.. but having all the roms and I assume art work can actually make this process move faster. the hardest part of setting up hyperspin for me was getting all the artwork, video snaps.

I live in New York and as soon as I saw that address a red flag came up.. and even searching on google confirmed it. People shouldn't buy things online without researching the company especially considering things of this nature are ILLEGAL in general so people selling illegal stuff can't be expected to be trustworthy.. the phrase buyer beware is always in effect when purchasing illegal stuff from people so people pretty much get what they get.. it may sound mean but it's their own fault like buying illegal stuff off the street and you get home and it doesn't work... pretty much the buyer's fault.

I have nobody to blame but myself.
joesmtoy Posted December 14, 2016 Author Posted December 14, 2016 I get that I made a mistake.....Thank you for reminding me... However I wasn't coming here to be admonished I was coming here for some help. It sounds like I came to the right place because I have already had several good ideas. I would love to continue the discussion about my stupidity in another forum perhaps but for this one I just prefer progress and helpfulness. I seem to have all the roms artwork and such so the setup process hopefully will go smooth from there. I hope I didn't offend anyone with my comments.

THK Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Quote I seem to have all the roms artwork and such so the setup process hopefully will go smooth from there. I hope I didn't offend anyone with my comments No you didn't. The best thing is to start from scratch, so reinstall HS and emulators. You need to learn how to do this to be able to fix and update it anyway. The roms and artwork can be re-used. Maybe it might be fixable, but you're better of knowing how things work. Emulation without having to set up anything generally doesn't work. There are FE's that make thing a bit easier for you, like LaunchBox.
joesmtoy Posted December 14, 2016 Author Posted December 14, 2016 The best thing to happen with this drive so far is that I got involves with this forum you are all great!!!! I am very happy this was the forum that was recommended.

I am very happy this was the forum that was recommended. Well, this is the official forum! Too bad you didn't google HS before hand and registered here to have a look around, but you're here now! Plenty of ppl around helping others out, no matter how they got here. The tad aggressive responses have to do with those drive sellers, they drive us mad. Especially because we do the work for free and they rip us off, sending ppl here for us to fix their crap. But you've been very understanding, some ppl just repeat "fix my drive!" etc. But hey, welcome!

Sorry again for the rule violation... it wont happen again. you need to go into RL or HL (whichever one) and see what the paths are pointing to. just guessing here but if someone had paths set up as drive E: and on your system the drive is setup as drive F: (for whatever reason) that could be the problem... it could also be that the roms are there but the rom files don't match the database... it could be anything. I will say this.. i assume you have mame? so start with that...it's the easiest thing to get going...

Regardless, rubbing in the fact they got conned and blaming them for it isn't constructive at all. I'll give you that a website could look legit.... but we all know ROMS are illegal regardless of how legit a website looks... we're still talking about a site that sells roms and other than those companies that make cabs and have a licensing deal.. any company or site that sells roms is definitely 100% illgeal (not that we don't know how illegal all of this stuff is to begin with) and those companies that do have a license for the games never have 1000s of games... they have the greatest hits and that's about it.. 30 to maybe 50 games. the fact of the matter is regardless if the buyer didn't know the website they purchased from was legit doesn't excuse the fact that they knew it was illegal to purchase roms... and anyone buying a hyperspin drive has done enough research to know what emulation is. listen I agree on face value.. i took a shot at the guy buy saying it was his own fault for getting ripped off but I wasn't lying and it was a bit of tough love so hopefully he learns his lesson and doesn't become a sucker again. End of the day we're all here because we love and support the hyperspin community.
