Please help, just want to add 1 rom to HS

[ShadowFlame]

HI!

 

I am wondering how do i add another rom to HyperSpin? Here is the situation, I have the rom for the game "Raiden". When i add that to the MAME rom directory and run it through MAME it works perfectly fine. But, it doesn't show up in the Hyperspin Wheel (I bought the arcade cab with Hyperspin already installed along with mame and roms). Is there an easy way to get the rom/game to show up on Hyperspin? or do i have to go through a lot ot steps?

 

If someone could please walk me through on how to get Hyperspin to see a rom/game that has no issues working if launched through MAME without using the front end...

 

Thank You!

you just need to go to your databases folder, then MAME and edit the MAME.xml file

just add your game at the bottom of the xml to look like all previous games (copy data below to the bottom of your xml)

ensure you keep </menu> at the bottom of the xml

once done just save and you are done

it willl then show up in hyperspin wheel

you may have to get wheelart and video for the game but if you have emumovies sync that should be easy enough.

 

<game name="raiden" index="" image="">
    <description>Raiden (set 1)</description>
    <cloneof/>
    <crc/>
    <manufacturer>Seibu Kaihatsu</manufacturer>
    <year>1990</year>
    <genre>Shoot-&apos;Em-Up</genre>
    <rating/>
    <enabled>Yes</enabled>
</game>
</menu>

FYi it does not need to go at the bottom. You can slot it into the R section of games for easy letter search later on

i just said put it at the bottom for ease

He could have added it in the correct order or use hyperrom2xml, but this seemed the simplest solution
