Big problems with Cache, Overrides, Themes, etc.

[rik81]

From what I can see... there are large problems with the Cache as well as other things. (It actually worked better in previous iterations... I think)

THings seem to work in HyperHQ... but when transfering over to hyperspin. Nothing is being transferred over the way it should..

1. Full screen videos arent working for anything
2. Wheels sometimes work... 
3. The video in mame sometimes doesnt match the border. Not all the time though.
4. The boxart is getting stuck behind the wheels... not all the time though.
5. Ive only added 3 systems. Your version of mame, which seems to have better overrides but still not 100 perccent. My version of mame for testing to compare. And Atari 7800.

MAME - My version - No overrides work... Meaning no media at all.
MAME - Your Version -  Some of the overrides work. Wheel overrides are ignored but show up in HyperHQ, your wheels with the weird codes show up though, Videos do seem to work. Themes dont work at all. Theyre just ignored.
Atari 7800 - Wheel overrides seem to work.

Main menu - Wheel overrides seem to work... I think... But not working for your version of mame. Ive renamed mame to "Arcade (MAME)"
Theme Menu - Atari 7800 seems to work... Both mames dont

Also the loading... for only 3 systems is getting quite long.. takes like 5 mins for the loading to complete when hyperspin is loaded. Also the media syncs also take a minute. And this is for 3 systems...

Imagine adding a 100 or more....

Ive only got 2 systems added... Mame and Sega Model 3 - Clean installation

Loadingn times are still atrocious - Gets stuck at loading wheel data for a long time.. the restt is a bit faster but not much
Custom system media doesnt get added at all
Pressing the hypersoin launch button from HyperHq doesnt do anything anymore
I got mame to sync the overrides but when scrolling between the video themes from emumovies...half the time the new theme doesnt  load
Getting things to sync at all is a serious choir... I trying model 3 now after resyncing overrides... im hoping it syncs.. Uses the wheel media and and the videos (UPDATE: I didnt sync anything, wheels and media from overrides were ignored)
Changing the buttons doesnt work half the time. Kicks you out like your pressing exit
 

The softare is progressing but this cache system of giving everything a directory address in a data file, is killing the entire system. If everything has to be read.... this new version will never get off the ground as your probably talking millionso of hard directory saves. No CPU in the world will be able to read a file with millions of directories in an effecient order.

This is 2 systems... Wait till you add MS Dos... Commodore 64... Playstation 2, Playstation 1... Or anything with a lot of games... Your talking TONS of files that all have to have a directory entry in a data base.

Coding in one thing... but has anybody from the forums actually setup a system with 100 different wheels and confirmed that its working? I dont think anybody has....
