avidsonicfan1991 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 My HyperSpin was working before, but now it's not launching any games!!! The games still launch perfectly through RocketLauncher, but once I try to launch them through HyperSpin, whenever I press the start or "A" button, or even the Enter key on the same game, nothing happens!!! And I did try every game I have in my library! I tried reinstalling the newest version of RocketLauncher, same issue and nothing changed. Does anybody have any suggestions on this?!

It was working and now its not? Have you checked your antivirus to see if it has quarantined any files? And you said they work through RocketLauncher, but not through HyperSpin... so why did you try reinstalling RocketLauncher if that isn't what was giving you the problem? Did you re-follow the install guide when you did it? Have you already checked to make sure that RL and HS are linked properly? You've checked to make sure it isn't something simple like not having your A button setup to start games in HyperHQ? etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avidsonicfan1991 Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 After doing WAY too much fiddling around and getting things back to normal by setting the HyperLaunch path in HyperHQ to the RocketLauncher executable, now whenever I launch a game, I am getting "Missing rom extension in ini"!!! I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!! CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO FIX EVERYTHING?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another, somewhat unrelated note, last night, I was so angry and refusing to calm down and take breaks until the problem was solved that I stayed up until 1 AM where I finally had to give up, but it was so much of forcing myself, I couldn't let go of my anger. Then, I was told by my mother that I cannot have EVERYTHING that I want, and the only reason we have what we have was because of challenges and frustration, and sometimes, the only two things we can do are to accept it, or make a new alternative myself. I cannot stand either one! I always refuse to accept, and I have virtually ZERO programming talent (in this case)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avidsonicfan1991 Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 I changed a lot since, but now I have gotten all the way back to the very first problem!!! This is what my HyperHQ setup looks like: But whenever I click on ANY title, nothing happens! Here is the log (I did click on the game twice): Quote 01:52:56 PM | HyperSpin Started 01:52:56 PM | Going FullScreen 01:52:56 PM | Checking for updates 01:52:56 PM | Update Check Complete 01:52:56 PM | Startup program unavailable 01:52:56 PM | Menu Mode is multi 01:52:56 PM | Loading Main Menu.xml 01:52:56 PM | Main Menu.xml successfully loaded 01:52:57 PM | Main Menu wheel loaded successfully 01:52:57 PM | Loading Atari 2600.xml 01:52:57 PM | Main Menu.xml successfully loaded 01:52:58 PM | Atari 2600 wheel loaded successfully 01:53:01 PM | Atari 2600 wheel loaded successfully 01:53:09 PM | Launching Game 01:53:09 PM | Using HyperLaunch 01:53:09 PM | Getting Launcher path 01:53:09 PM | Can't find HyperLaunch, defaulting to root HyperLaunch.exe 01:53:09 PM | Launcher located at E:\Shared\HyperSpin\HyperSpin\HyperLaunch.exe 01:53:09 PM | Running Launcher 01:53:09 PM | Launcher Command Line is: E:\Shared\HyperSpin\HyperSpin\HyperLaunch.exe "Atari 2600" "Asteroids (USA)" 01:53:13 PM | Launching Game 01:53:13 PM | Using HyperLaunch 01:53:13 PM | Getting Launcher path 01:53:13 PM | Can't find HyperLaunch, defaulting to root HyperLaunch.exe 01:53:13 PM | Launcher located at E:\Shared\HyperSpin\HyperSpin\HyperLaunch.exe 01:53:13 PM | Running Launcher 01:53:13 PM | Launcher Command Line is: E:\Shared\HyperSpin\HyperSpin\HyperLaunch.exe "Atari 2600" "Asteroids (USA)" 01:53:18 PM | Loading Main Menu.xml 01:53:18 PM | Main Menu.xml successfully loaded 01:53:18 PM | Main Menu wheel loaded successfully 01:53:19 PM | Exit program unavailable 01:53:19 PM | Quiting Hyperspin 01:53:19 PM | Bye! If you're suggesting a less painful alternative to HyperSpin, all I need is a frontend with an EXIT HOTKEY. Every time I want to exit a game, I don't want to get up from my chair, grab my mouse, and navigate to a close button just to exit the emulator! (*cough* EmulationStation) Attract-Mode has that sort of thing, but I don't know how to split romlists that share the same emulator! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your log shows the "Hyperlaunch_Path" in the HyperSpin/Settings/Settings.ini file is wrong so it's falling back to using HyperLaunch so fix that path. If you're using RL you shouldn't have anything set for the executable in HyperHQ and you would only need the rompath and extensions set if you're using the Roms Only filter. I removed the executable section in HyperHQ, but now..........

avidsonicfan1991 Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 I don't know how or why I removed the executable from the path in the first place, but somehow after re-adding the executable, it worked! I haven't tested everything (just this one game), but I'll get back to you if I found another similar problem I cannot solve with another game I have. UPDATE: Apparently not! It worked for all systems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefboi16 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I am having the same problem. Why does my settings.ini file look so different? I never even touched anything in the settings.ini file and it's been working for two years now out of nowhere it will not do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalzoic Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Have you guys gotten drunk and pee'd on your setup recently? Any demonic possessions in the family or history of serial killing? Could be any of those so it's hard to say. The only other thing that can cause it is a cheating spouse or child secretly hooked on meth. Good luck!

Reefboi16 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Lol I have no idea man could be I guess. everything worked great honestly just one day shit when haywire and I have not been able to fix it. The hyperlaunch path was not even in the ini file I tried to just add it to it but it did not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefboi16 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Would you guys know an easy way to just start my HS set up from scratch? bothers me that my settings.ini file looks all weird. Just rather have a clean sheet but don't want to loose all my other HS files on my actual setup. I have led blinky configured, joytokey, hypermarquee and would hate to loose all that.

boomerps2 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Same thing with me. Can launch games from RocketLauncherUI all day, the moment I try to launch games through Hyperspin, no go. It does absolutely nothing, not even an error message. Did RocketLauncher update and screw with the settings.ini ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be E:\Shared\HyperSpin\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe That was it. It solved the problem. If your doing a fresh install, your screwed unless you know to manually re-route the Hyperlaunch folder location. I don't recall this being an issue with previous versions.

SortingHat Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Actually Windows 10 updates screw with a lot of stuff. I have to reconfigure my stand alone emulators sometimes after a major Win 10 update. Be sure it's not that messing with ya. In fact if you have stand alone emulators you should always recheck things are where they should be. Microsoft since Windows Vista has slowly tried to make their OS be like a phone and NOT only that but they under Steve Ballmar (Did I spell that right?) fired their PC people and replaced them with Nokia after a major buyout. Nokia is a failed phone company that made crap phones. We had a friend in our old church that worked on XP doing a lot of major coding and MS did a lot of bad things to their workers until they started quitting and then after he left a majority were fired as they were working on 8 but after Vista more and more were 'retiring' early. 8 was originally going to be an updated Win 7 and leave things largely alone but they decided to do the phone thing instead and the remaining software vendors closed up shop so now it's mostly apps. For several years Windows 10 (at least the home version) was really broken and just now is usuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
