I has fixed it!

To be quite honest as good as a fontend this is, it is a sprawled out mess for a (new) enduser to figure out, my actually problem was me believing I was on the latest version HS1.2 when I also needed the HyperLaunch v2.13 which isn't actually in the downloads section and was oblivious to me till I stumbled across it looking at someone elses problems.

I might offer some faq amendments once I figure out all of my adventures through Hyperspin :P

Welcome to the fantasy zone, get ready!

Glad to hear you got it working. Yeah Hyperspin definitely takes some work. But it's totally worth it in the end :beer:

I can't disagree with you that a lot of the supportive information is sprawled out, but thank you VERY much for using the Search feature here on the forums. Most people never bother when they'd be amazed at how many answers already exist for their all-too-common problem.

This is how I did it. For an example I will use psxfin and espxe. Prob the easiest thing for you to do would be to set up both emulators using the main menu wizard. You don't have to but this is what I did. This will create 2 different Playstation emulators on your main wheel. Set up all your emulator information rom path,ext,hyperlaunch,ect...

This will create your system.ini files(which I believe this is whats needed for multiple emulators).One for psxfin and one for and one for epsxe

If you want to do it manually without creating all the theme folders and theme information in your ini file then this is how you would do it.

For Ex:

[exe info]

path=D:\Arcade\PSXfin\

rompath=D:\HyperSpin\Emulators\Sony Playstation\EPSXE\roms\

userompath=

exe=psxfin.exe

romextension=iso,bin,img

parameters=

searchsubfolders=

pcgame=false

winstate=HIDDEN

hyperlaunch=true

This is my secondary emulator system.ini file for psxfin. This is really all you need to have in you ini file in order for it to work work as a secondary emulator. You could also just copy and paste your main playstation emulator ini settings into a new text document, edit your rom path,exts,and turn hyperlaunch on or off. Next you'll want to save the file for example as Epsxe.ini,and place it in the settings folder in Hyperspin.

Now that we've gone over creating ini files lets move on to the next step.You are going to want to remove your secondary emulator from the main wheel xml if you used the hyperlaunch main menu wizard to create your ini files.

Next we are going to edit your Sony Playstation XML. Lets assume that I'm using Psxfin for my main emulator, but I have a game that doesn't work with it. We will using Blood Omen for the example because it doesn't work for it(At least not correctly). All you are going to need to do now is add add this line to your XML <exe></exe>

<game name="Blood Omen - Legacy of Kain (U) [sLUS-00027]" index="" image="">

<description>Blood Omen - Legacy of Kain (U) [sLUS-00027]</description>

<cloneof></cloneof>

<crc> </crc>

<manufacturer> </manufacturer>

<year> </year>

<exe>Epsxe</exe> This should be the name of your system.ini file your created

<genre> </genre>

That's pretty much all there is to it.

I'm trying to set this up in my Favorite Game section on my HS wheel. It seems I'm doing this the same way he suggested but I keep getting Favorite Game.xml is invalid? does anyone knows why? Is there a step by step on how to do this? If someone has it done already could you make a step by step guide on how to go by on doing this.
