Tommatt Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 So I'm having some problems with Hyperspin and mame, and google is failing me. I've gotten it up, running, and loading a rom. When I back out though, it will no longer launch any rom. It just sits there. No error messages, nothing. This will occasionally happen when starting hyperspin, but usually I can load one, play it for awhile, escape out, and it won't launch any other until I restart Hyperspin. I makes me think something isn't closing correctly. I tried searching but it just lists games not running at all and mentioning paths being wrong. Rocketlauncher and everything should be setup correctly. I can run multiple games out of RocketlaunchUI, and again, in Hyperspin I can get it to load a game when I first start it, but after loading one, it fails to load any others. Thank you.

Spawk Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I suspect you are just "out of focus". Does a mouse click somewhere on screen restore joystick functions? May take 1-2 seconds after click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommatt Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 I can continue moving through the Hyperspin menu's after backing out of a game. I can go back to the system select, although I only have mame right now, and go through my list of games, sort it by genre, etc... I just can't actually start any games. Hitting start seems to do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thostr Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Almost sounds like you're suffering through a Windows 10 1803 update. It totally broke my system, been using hours and hours to get back to where I was before that fateful reboot. Microsoft really messed up with Windows this time. Hyperspin for Linux, please?

Tommatt Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 Is that really a possible thing? I just started looking into hyperspin and messing with it. So I have no experience with it really. Just seems kind of odd it seems to work, then it doesn't. I'm gonna keep trying with it but I think everything is right and I've run out of ideas besides making this post to ask for help. One thing I've noticed is after I close hyperspin, if I got to my processes, hyperlaunch is still running. I wonder if this isn't closing properly after exiting a game and that's causing none to load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawk Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 hyperlaunch is old, upgrade to RocketLauncher. But yes, hyperlaunch still running is why you can't select another game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommatt Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 I am using RocketLauncher. I just notice that hyperlaunch is open when I'm doing stuff. I followed the guide that is posted and also this one here https://gameroomsolutions.com/setup-hyperspin-mame-hyperlaunch-full-guide/ So I am using rocketLauncher. I'm not sure how things interact, just notice hyperlaunch in the background. Any clue where I might have messed up following the two guides?

Tommatt Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 @Spawk Actually that's what it was! I missed editing one freaking ini file. I didn't edit Open your HyperSpin\Settings\Settings.ini file and set the path were you installed RocketLauncher. Example Hyperlaunch_Path=C:\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe This way when we select “HyperLaunch” (the old way to launch games) in a few min, it will actually use rocketlauncher. Somehow skipped the step. Now it's using Rocket launcher and when I exit out of a game I can load another. Now to start playing with things in it. Thanks again for helping. One more thing, I edited the wheel as all I have right now is MAME through hyperspin. It shows unlimited mame's in the system select. Is that normal?

Spawk Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 As you add more systems it will populate that section. If you only want mame then you can enable "single wheel" in HQ and it should open right into the mame list (skipping system select altogether).

Tommatt Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 Thanks again. Going to slowly add more systems to it and try to get everything on my system organized and running through hyperspin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
