EMU Video in the background

[drshaw]

Occasionally when I start one of my roms, I can hear the emumovie intro still playing in the background. Pushing up on my controller controls the rom, but also moves hyperspin's menu in the background up one and I hear the next video start to play. Almost like the emulator doesn't get cleanly launched and Hyperspin doesn't get put to background. I restart hyperspin, and the problem goes away on the next start. Anybody else experience this? Happens alot with Nestopia and when I start hyperspin immediately after logging in to the xp machine.

I guess I'm the only one?

Hi Drshaw, I was just about to start a thread with the same problem.

I start Donkey Kong game, and I can still hear the music from the Theme.

No idea on how to avoid this...

It happens to me all the time. Quitting the emulator, then going back to the main menu, come back into the specific emulator menu, selecting the game, waiting a few seconds to make sure we're all there and relaunching the ROM solves it for that run. But it's annoying when you have to do it 15-20% of the time.

hey,

Just wanted to report i am having the same issue sometimes.

When launching a mame game, sometimes the video preview from hyperspin keeps playing the music. Also, it keeps launching the same game when i hit my player 1 button (which is thesame button to launch games out of hyperspin).

Seems as if hyperspin didnt totally force itself to the background... I tried changing the CPU priority for hyperspin to normal but that doesnt seem to help.

This doesnt happen all the times, just accasionally. Which makes it even stranger.

Experiencing the same issue here. About 20% of the time Hyperspin is still playing sound from the theme / video in the background while playing the game. Exit / restart generally resolves.

Thanks

Chris

Just a little bump.

I was wondering if anyone has a solution to this problem, or perhaps someone could confirm this as a bug?

cheers!

Hi all, Not a fix, just to say i sometimes have this problem too. I have to back out of the game, to HS, then select the game again and all is fine. Cant understand why it only occurs occasionally. I'm running XP. Additionally, I havn't done any of the updates of HS, since 1.0 was released. Not sure how?

I too experience this with a handful of titles, but only intermittently and only on my mame wheel. And I'm using version 1.2, which fortunately fixed the theme music bug, but at least this problem doesn't happen all the time.

This happens when you start a rom prior to the video snap beginning playback. If you wait for the video to begin before entering you should be fine. Some themes delay the video playback which does not help.

Is there a global setting we can setup to avoid this? e.g. "do not wait for video" or something?

i was gonna say that it seems to happen to me if i start a game real quick

this would jive with what was said in the quote above

Make sure you don't have Trackball navigation enabled in hyperHQ. It's a known bug, we will have to wait for 2.0 for a fix

Only wishful thinking, I suspect. Don't get your hopes up!
