My Hyperspin 2

[CydXero]

Just to start. 

Imported for the last 3-4 days. 

 

I'm avoiding using Rocketlauncher to use this natively to draw out any bugs. 

Random thoughts. 

• adding the xbox controller was wonky, but fixed through a few updates. 
• Can't seem to add media, assuming that's because it's beta and coming soon. 
  • I did find that I can alter the collections theme. 
• HT was iffy at first. 
  • It only seemed to react to my keyboard functions. 
    • Didn't see any instructions, but I think was able to figure it out. 
    • Made a Sega Collection Template and found out audio and one of the layers didn't work in HS. (reported and being addressed)

... more to come.

Random notes

• So found the damned hidden file that was the culprit! 
• Removed cache files manually and reinstalled. Seems to work faster now. 
• dIscovered to manually use my own art, the file name must match the rom file name. 
• Also deleting a rom file doesn't remove it from the list. in fact refreshing the media cache doesn't affect it as well. 
• Right clicking on the icon and exit and restarting the program sometimes fixes small issues. 
• Automatic emulator installs only appear for now only are on initial installation. 
  • Requested the feature. 
• Uninstaller only seems to work on HQ, all others must be manually removed from the hidden directories. 
  • Requested the feature. 
• If you update HS don't forget to update the plugins. 
• having issues where my HQ will open in my marquee. 
• Attempting to figure out how to add the custom clear logos for collections. 
  • Where to put them and what to call the png.

DOH!!! So being impatient, I was installing the systems and creating the collection while the metadata and media were downloading all at the same time. It caused a massive glitch on duplicating wheels. I'm not 100% sure that's what did it, but I'm going to start fresh and be patient to see if that issue can be duplicated

So started from scratch slowly adding each system and wheel. so far so good.. no multiples. 

*mental note.. patience

New notes:

• You can run a second instance of the same emulator, but you'd have to run it as an other. 
• You can change the core, by altering the command line
  • -L "%emulator.folder%\cores\genesis_plus_gx_libretro.dll" "%rom.path%" -f
    • Future request

what fun.. after restarting and updating.. HQ looks fine.. HS won't move forward or back.. and layers in the art aren't working.. gonna see if I can redownload the themese.

• Flattened the wheel until collections is updated. 
• Created a blank collection call Exit to make it easier to back out. 

[CydXero]

Well. I've exhausted all I can do for now. Waiting for the next update.
