In the future, we’ll provide a version for basic members as well.  On behalf of the entire HyperSpin team, we look forward to another exciting adventure with our community.

Games not launching from Hyperspin

My hyperspin setup is on an external HD, and I had been connecting that to my Windows 7 laptop for work, until work found out about it and said "no no".  So I bought a laptop which came with Windows 10.  When I first plugged it in, everything was working fine for the standalone emulators I tested.  That felt nice.  I thought I would be completed soon, and went on to install the emulators such as Project 64, PCSX2, and Dolphin. 

My Xpadder configuration carried over just fine.  Games were launching, on the old laptop, and on the new Windows 10 laptop.  After I thought I had completed my migration, I sat down to enjoy the fruits of my labors.  However, I am now unable to launch games from Hyperspin any longer.

I can go into RocketLauncher and click on a system, click on Games, run an audit, then select a game, and launch it through RocketLauncher without issue.  So RocketLauncher is configured correctly, and I have attached the log of a successful run.

In Hyperspin, all the media displays as it should, menu navigation works as expected, but when I press START, which I have already confirmed is set as ENTER in HyperHQ, and ENTER is mapped to my controller's Start button, but when I press START nothing happens.  No error, just nothing.  If I wait long enough, the "attract" setting will kick in and the wheel starts spinning.  A log is attached here showing what the log shows there.  It shows the command:

10:49:15 AM |  Launcher Command Line is: G:\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe "Nintendo Entertainment System" "Adventure Island II (USA)"

 

This is correct, as I can run it directly in a command prompt window, an the game will launch.  To be sure, I changed the Execution setting on the Emulator tab of the Wheel Settings in Hyper HQ to "Normal" instead of "HyperLaunch" and attached the log with that output as well.

Current state is that the Execution setting is back to "HyperLaunch".  This is not just happening with the NES wheel, this is every wheel.  Everything worked fine with this exact same drive on my Windows 7 machine before moving to this Windows 10 machine.  Everything worked that was stand alone, and lived on the external HD.  Once I installed emulators that require it, and their dependencies, Hyperspin stopped actually launching games, but logs that it is doing so.

 

I know there has to be some simple thing I am missing.  Someone - please help????!!??!

RocketLauncher log - successful launch.log

HyperSpin log - HyperLaunch selected.txt

HyperSpin log - Normal selected.txt

Settings.ini

UPDATE

ok, so I downloaded the files through your link and extracted it to my HyperSpin folder, overwriting the existing files.  Now, when I try to launch a game, HyperSpin freezes, but the video being displayed will continue to play, along with sound.  However any key presses after that START is pressed, do absolutely nothing.  ESC doesn't even work, you have to Alt+F4 or task manager kill to get rid of it.

If I go into HyperHQ, making sure the wheel is set to Normal, and Executable is left empty, that is what I have.  If I set the path the my NES emulator, it will try to launch ,but then gets another error because of the snytax of the file extension.  So, right now I have 1)the exact files that were attached to this thread 2)all wheels set to Normal execution type, with the Executable path empty in HyperHQ 3)freeze issue happens as soon as START is pressed

here is what the log looks like for that event:

Now HyperSpin is not getting the System in its string to send off to the command line.

this is never going to work

11:08:46 PM |  Not using HyperLaunch

the only emulator you can set to normal launch is MAME,  this is because it uses the same command line (as Hyperspin) to load games

you should set ALL!!!! your emulators to launch with Hyperlaunch in HyperHQ.

 

then test launch all your emulators in Rocketlauncher

then you can test launch your emulators in Hyperspin
