PRBITNA Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Hi, Still processing a lot of the Hyperspin 2 changes after viewing the stream. One thing I have always liked about Hyperspin has been the ability to movie it to another windows machine in a portable manner (file system copy). Havin had a quick install of V2, have noticed that it is tied to a windows style installer/uninstaller and shows up in the Add/remove list in Windows. Does this mean it is no longer portable and needs to be installed and setup each time and is tied to a Windows install? Appologies if this question has been answered, I couldn't find it.
PRBITNA Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 Also - i went to create a clean install (seperate Hyperspin install to test HyperHQ against) and it appears that the uninstall in Windows doesnt clean out the user AppData folders it creates. I think I saw that an uninstaller is planned, but would be great if it was truly portable without AppData folders. Similiar to how some of the emulators run with a portable mode.
fr0stbyt3 Posted January 24 Posted January 24 We're working on ways to make it more portable, but it can't be zip portable like HS1. I'll outline more with my wrap up post this week
PRBITNA Posted January 24 Author Posted January 24 Thanks all. Also work in software so realise it is a beta. My main issue given peoples massive collections and GBs of data - if there is a windows rebuild needed (or move to another machine - i.e. test machine to arcade windows box) that should be a straight forward process if possible. i.e. at worst - reinstall new HyperHQ on a new box and point to existing hyperspin folder. Trawling through hidden AppData folder for settings to transfer etc is not great.
