Adding a game..

[Korny]

I know this may have been posted a thousand times already but I did try searching for it but never could find it.

I just bought an arcade cab with Hyperspin.   I am pretty tech savvy when it comes to computers, but so far, Hyperspin has been tough to figure out.  All I want to do is just add in a few new games that are not on my system now, and have it working correctly on the Hyper Wheel.  I have the rom, and I know I can add it into the MAME file, but what else do I need to do?

I'm going to have to start from the beginning soon as I want to know the ins and outs of HyperSpin, but for now, I just want to add a few new games to my existing system and just would like a simple walk through on how to do that.

Thanks and sorry for probably another post about how to add in a new game to the system..

You probably need to add the info to the relevant database xml file.

You will see in the hyperspin install a database folder which contains xml files for each system/wheel

If you open one of these files in notepad you can see the games listed, you need to create an entry with the correct name information and then it should show up as text. Then if you want wheel artwork and video snap etc you need to find them here or create them and add them to the relevant artwork folders.

Also ensure your rom is in the same directory as the other ones for the wheel you put it in.

Correct naming is important here, as long as the rom name, artwork and database match things will work.
