Hello, I'm hoping to find some help getting HyperSpin to load nes roms. It's where I started as I've followed Avar's tutorials parts 1 thru 5. I can load the rom thru Rocket Launcher but when trying to select the game in HyperSpin I've had a few different problems.

At first just nothing would happen, it seemed as if pressing enter wasn't being recognized once I navigated to the game. I tried to investigate and downloaded the "Hyperspin and RocketLauncher Compatibility Fix.zip" that created a HyperLaunch.exe, and HyperLaunch.ini in the RocketLauncher folder. (In my case I have Hyperspin files in d:\Hyperspin, and RocketLauncher files in d:\RocketLauncher) This didn't fix the  problem.

I noticed in HyperHQ the wheel for Nintendo Entertainment System had blank entries under Executable and Rom path. Would that be an issue? I didn't see anything about entering anything here during the tutorials. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Edit, this is the Log file from Hyperspin:

Did you make HyperSpin your default and active frontend in RLUI? If so, was that a clean install? You shouldn't need any sort of "fix" download at all.

The HyperHQ entries aren't required at all for running games and can be left blank. The one purpose the rom path entry in HyperHQ serves is in concert with the "Roms Only" wheel filter, but that's just aesthetic and doesn`t affect what you`re trying to do right now.

Hello Avar and thank you for the dedication you have! Yes HyperSpin is set as the active frontend I believe. I took a screenshot of my RLUI. The install was clean as far as I can tell. I noticed in the log for Rocketlauncher starting at 15:36:42:784 it starts looking for an .ini file that I'm not familiar with, is that any kind of lead?

I'm with agent47. That "fix" clearly mucked quite a bit up. I'd trash your build and start from scratch. If you don't see me do it in the video, it's likely not a good idea.

Avar, yes they are green and run from RLUI when tested.

Agent47,

1. Where can I change the execution off of normal mode and to HyperLaunch?

2. It am running HyperSpin 1.4.16, I downloaded that to update from 1.3.3, so what method should I be using?

3. I've included a screenshot of the tab to which you are referring, RLUI crashes when I click the magnifying glass to change it!

4. As far as the fix I attempted, I searched this site support forums before creating a topic,

The file came from Ghutch92 address is  http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=21879 

 

I'm definitely new to this and I hope the information I've shared can help prevent this problem from happening to anyone in the future. Thanks again for your help.

You need to reinstall both HyperSpin and RocketLauncher from scratch. That threat you linked is hella old and anything you overwrote will have totally mucked up your everything. In general, be super careful when it comes to overwriting anything using a non-official source.

Those videos are GOSPEL! I was reluctant to do it again but I gave it a fresh install. :bad:I must have missed something the first go around :bad:.

 

 NES is working, onto SNES and game videos! Thanks again!

np! I'm glad you chose to start again from scratch. Nothing worse then dealing with bugs later on down the road and not knowing why. Cheers!
