Martin0037 Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Hi everyone. Hope you've all had a good Xmas. Now ive got this problem that won't seem to go away. Sometimes when I turn my machine on, i can play a game but when trying to exit back to hyperspin everything freezes! I then have to restart the pc as it doesn't respond at all. Im only using mame with hyperspin - no other emulators. This is driving me crazy as nothing seems to cure it. Also, it doesn't do it every time. Can anyone help? Mameuifx.159 64
griffin518 Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 I'm not saying this is the case, but it could be a hardware issue... you might try running a memory test to check your RAM. Could also be a driver issue, but let's start with the memory test.
Martin0037 Posted December 28, 2016 Author Posted December 28, 2016 Ok. Ram is fine. I've got 8gb installed. Run task manager and it's only using just over 1gb when running a game
Martin0037 Posted December 28, 2016 Author Posted December 28, 2016 Weird but if tempary move the mame.ini folder to the desktop to hide it, this problem goes away?? could this be a setting?
griffin518 Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 I wasn't talking about total RAM available... I was talking about how one of your sticks might be going bad. I'm not sure what you mean by mame.ini folder... do you have everything on an internal hard drive, SSD, or an external?
Martin0037 Posted December 28, 2016 Author Posted December 28, 2016 The mame.ini file in the ini folder. Appears when you make any changes in mame. If I move it from the ini folder to say the desktop this issue stops. As far as I know memory is fine, pc is new. Everything is on the internal SSD
Martin0037 Posted December 29, 2016 Author Posted December 29, 2016 ive run mame on its own without hyperspin etc and it runs and exits fine. I'm wondering if this could be a rocketlauncher problem? I only use mame, don't use any bezels or anything else so I'm wondering if I remove rocketlauncher and run hyperspin on its own? Or does it need rocketlauncher to run?
Martin0037 Posted December 29, 2016 Author Posted December 29, 2016 Doesn't do anything. Completely freezes up. Have to restart the pc.
Martin0037 Posted December 31, 2016 Author Posted December 31, 2016 Turns out it's the exit button. Mame exit is mapped to esc and the exit button on my cab was also mapped to esc, and the "hyperspin" key in hyper hq was also mapped to esc so I mapped "exit emulator" key in rocketlauncher ui to "backspace" (as I don't use it for anything else) and re mapped the hyperspin key in hyper hq to "backspace" also. This worked great. (It only worked if both the hyperspin key in hyper hq and the exit emulator key were mapped to the same key) Until a few hours after when the pc had been shut down, i started hyperspin up again, started a game and tried the button I'd mapped to "backspace" (which worked fine before) - now the button did nothing and I couldn't exit the game! No idea?
griffin518 Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Hmm... that's strange, but good work figuring out what the issue was. I'm sure this'll go in @agent47's obscure issues file. Escape is a standard exit button for every emulator I've come across. I think you'd be much better served remapping the "hyperspin" key in HyperHQ. Maybe make it whatever your player #1 key is. That'll be much easier than trying to troubleshoot and change each emulator.
Martin0037 Posted December 31, 2016 Author Posted December 31, 2016 Thanks. Can't take credit for it, it was giggapigs suggestion lol... i have tried it again today, played loads of games, shut down and restarted loads of times, left it overnight, started back up - and fingers crossed it's working great now. Thank god. Must have not done it right first time. Ive left esc as exit in mame, changed the hyperspin button in hyper hq and the exit emulator button in rocketlauncher UI - both to "backspace" key. (Had to do them both or it wouldn't work) Works great. Fingers crossed.
thadirk Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Hey Guys... Mame is the only Emulator in my Machine that Freezes when Scrolling through it's Library, I have to bring up task master to kill hyperspin... Any Idea Why? Also The Yabause Emulator won't work as well..... Only goes to it's menu screen... Any help would be great.. Thanks.

When you say "go through its library" do you mean when spinning the Mame wheel and browsing games? If so, it might be a corrupt wheel image file.
KlopjerO Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Replace the wheel image? Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-A700FD met Tapatalk
griffin518 Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Maybe start by moving all of the wheel images to a different folder. Let us know if it freeze when you're scrolling with no images.
thadirk Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 It started when I checked the Only with Wheels In hyper HQ, Cause i like mine All complete

thadirk Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 It spins freely until i move the joystick to select a game... and does not lock when the wheel image are in another folder
griffin518 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Yeah... one of the wheel images is likely corrupt. You might want to run HyperSync to download them again.
Avar Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 It happens sometimes. It'll be the wheel that comes after the last one you can actually, physically see while spinning before it freezes. You can just re-grab that individual file and you'll be good to go.
thadirk Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Thanks Broski... Will do... You guys are all Awesome.
thadirk Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Should be The last Question Guys , Ya'll really are Great... All i need to complete My Cabinet , it's been 3 years.....
