American Laser Games works in RL but not in HS

[jevansoh]

Hello,

I've finally gotten American Laser Games working inside of RocketLauncher and on its own on the PC, but when I select a game from within HyperSpin, it loads, the window goes to the background and stays active, then HyperSpin comes back to the foreground and is also active.  It should be suspended and should be in the background like all the other games, but for whatever reason, it's not.

I can then use HyperSpin as normal with the game running in the background.  So then I have to close HyperSpin and either play the game or close the window.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Daphne or american laser games is a complicated system/emulator to configure on HS and RL, in my own experience.

If I am not wrong, I think I left it working a while ago but haven't come back to it. I will check if mine is working or not and come back to you later.

Thanks, and please do let me know what you find.

Funny thing is, though, I got Daphne working without any problems.  Since it's pretty much the same emulator, I figured copying the settings in HyperHQ would work, but it does not.

I am at a loss here....

Try turning your fade in OFF in RocketLauncher for this system, might help.

I just tried this.  Thanks for the tip.

I thought it was going to work, because it loaded, with the bezel, and worked correctly for about 2 seconds, then went full screen without the bezel, then HyperSpin came back up fully active in front of it just like it was doing with the game running in the background.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

have you set it up using pclauncher ?

[jevansoh]

Yes.  That's how it's set up.  I'm beginning to think the problem is with the games going full screen and taking over/changing resolution.  That's why bezels don't work, too, I think. 

It's set up exactly like Daphne is set up, but Daphne works just fine, in bezels and everything.

I don't know how to get the games to not load full screen and to fit within bezels, though.

I might be wrong, too, and this may not be the problem.

Thanks,

check out my settings, all working ok with these, no need to change if game goes full screen.

[jevansoh]

Ok, that did it!

I didn't have the appwaitexe set.  I set that to Daphne and all is kind of working now.

It still shows the bezel for a second then goes full screen without the bezel showing at all.  Then when I exit, it shows the fade out screen in a tiny window for a second with the bezel again for a second, and finally takes me back to HyperSpin.

At least this will work, though.

Now.... How do I get my lightguns working with these games?

Thanks a bunch for your help.  I really appreciate it!
