Drakin Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Awsome!!...Thanks 1. Make sure your leds are pointing at the gun. 2. Make sure your aimtrak pcb eye can see your leds and clear the upper lip of the gun barrel. Then you just shoot each arrow when it stops in the left corner right corner and center bottom. 3. If it does not register still try standing closer/further 4. Still no go make sure your lighting around you is not too bright 5. Also some may need to be manually calibrated through the F2 service menu.

Numiah Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Could this be used for HyperPin as well ? **Each pinball machine is a tiny universe... that we control** My Build Overview My Computer Specifications
metalthrix Posted April 3, 2011 Author Posted April 3, 2011 Sorry but i didnt try with hyperpin because i dont use it but i honestly dont think so. may be i will add support of hyperpin in further version ! ****************************************** ***Maker of : Hyperspin ToDo List Maker*** ******************************************
Dred Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 very cool program. I thought for sure it was going to take forever to scan my folder since i have almost 50 systems setup on it. It actually did not take very long at all to complete. My setup is a portalable hyperspin that runs off a USB drive with lots of relative paths. It had trouble finding all my videos which is weird cause all my videos work fine. I notice my path is for most of my videos is .\HyperSpin\Media\Sega 32X\Video\ which i agree should probably be .\Media\Sega 32X\Video\ and would allow the application to see my videos. Funny how hyperspin works with either path. If anything this program works great to help me find these kinds of inconsistencies. One bug i did notice was that it said i had 18 Sega genesis roms missing even though i had them. I guess the & is throwing it off. As this was my missing list. -----Roms Missing-----Adventures of Batman & Robin, The (USA) Barney's Hide & Seek Game (USA) Battletoads & Double Dragon (USA) Dungeons & Dragons - Warriors of the Eternal Sun (USA, Europe) Funny World & Balloon Boy (USA) (Unl) Great Circus Mystery Starring Mickey & Minnie, The (USA) Joe & Mac (USA) Joshua & The Battle of Jericho (USA) (Unl) Mick & Mack as the Global Gladiators (USA) Ren & Stimpy Show Presents Stimpy's Invention, The (USA) Roger Clemens MVP Baseball (USA) Sonic & Knuckles (World) Sonic & Knuckles + Sonic the Hedgehog (World) Sonic & Knuckles + Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (World) Sonic & Knuckles + Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (World) Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends (USA) ToeJam & Earl (World) (Rev A) ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron (USA) 18 Roms Missing ! edit: Roger Clemons was corrected in the database from clemonts but my rom was still named clemonts. heh nice to catch that. I even noticed that one of my systems showed all my roms missing even though i had some and i found out it was because i forgot to set the extension type. =P Well I have not tested every system since i updated all my roms lists. Anyway Great program. This will help me clean up my mess in my ini files and maybe organize what i should focus on next.
Bilbotorm Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 wow; looks promising, i'll have a try tonight and i'll let you know my feedback =)
nogarth Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 is this not identical to my HyperExcel which actually does the lot and checks if there is any updates to the XML's from HL? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
metalthrix Posted April 6, 2011 Author Posted April 6, 2011 Thank you dred for this ! i will update my application soon for the & bug and you make me think that i did not implemented the relative path support so another thing in my next version ! If anybody else with other trouble post it please !!! ****************************************** ***Maker of : Hyperspin ToDo List Maker*** ******************************************
Dred Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 I think the relative path stuff is working cause my roms are set to .\roms\sega genesis and the only roms it reported missing were the & ones. Thanks. =)
metalthrix Posted April 10, 2011 Author Posted April 10, 2011 Thank you everyone for your post ! With those information i made a new version so there is the link : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7CLRLXKJ These are Corrections : The bug of & is fixed Videos or Png preview Bug is Fixed + Some minor changes Continue with your good post guys !!! ****************************************** ***Maker of : Hyperspin ToDo List Maker*** ******************************************
Thooperman Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 This is a fantastic app, I love that each system is in it's own text file, I am currently working my way through all the XMLs that have been marked Final in Hyperlist. One problem I'm having is that Super Nintendo Entertainment System isn't showing up on the list (and MAME, but someone else has mentioned that one). I have checked my paths on my computer to see that they are going to D:\Hyperspin\database\Super Nintendo Entertainment System\Super Nintendo Entertainment System.xml but I can't seem to get it to work. Do you have any advice on what could be wrong?
metalthrix Posted April 10, 2011 Author Posted April 10, 2011 Ok i will have a look at it but tell me, your xml files for snes, is it from hyperlist or another source. because i tested it on 3 different hyperspin and never had this trouble. but i will check this out very soon ! ****************************************** ***Maker of : Hyperspin ToDo List Maker*** ******************************************
Thooperman Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 I downloaded the XML directly from Hyperlist. I have only downloaded the latest XML for SNES and NES and using older XMLs for the other systems. I just tried the scan with a fresh hyperspin in a different directory and only MAME didn't show up, so SNES is back again even when I copied the new XML from Hyperlist. I just removed the SNES and MAME from the main menu using the wizard (using the 1st option as to not lose all my media) and added them back again and they seem to work fine now. I don't know what was wrong/different with the previous setup, quite a noodle scratcher. I'm sorry for any hassles I may have caused, it's a fantastic app and I think it can solve my procrastination of finalizing my roms/artwork/videos. Thanks!
metalthrix Posted April 11, 2011 Author Posted April 11, 2011 Hey Thooperman do not be sorry, by your fault i found the bug for not doing mame xml so thank you a lot so ther is the newer version : 0.7 Beta : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WJAGLG0L ****************************************** ***Maker of : Hyperspin ToDo List Maker*** ******************************************
Halfaworldaway Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Not really sure what i am doing wrong with this program, i keep getting an error "settings not found"
metalthrix Posted April 11, 2011 Author Posted April 11, 2011 This mean that there is no ini files in \hyperspin\settings\ so check if you give the good hyperspin path ! ****************************************** ***Maker of : Hyperspin ToDo List Maker*** ******************************************
Halfaworldaway Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 I was aiming at the wrong directory, got it working, its a great tool, thanks. it shows roms, flv and png that are missing, could this be used for checking themes? and cart/box art in the future?
metalthrix Posted April 11, 2011 Author Posted April 11, 2011 theme support will be added in further version yes. Cartridge i would like to but there is no flag in settings file for cart so, but i would like to ! ****************************************** ***Maker of : Hyperspin ToDo List Maker*** ******************************************

ouroboros78 Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 I think your program is great but I have a feature request and I don't think it should be too hard, but it will make your program I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER awesome. What I would like to see is an automatic file renaming feature. Ideally the program looks at my game folder file list or XML document, and then I choose another folder, either the artwork or wheel art or video folder. It will compare the two. When the first few characters of file names (but not the whole file name) match in both folders, the program can then ask me if I want to rename that file to match the game or XML. If I say yes then it does renaming automatically. Renaming a whole folder wheel art etc will then take only a couple minutes. It could be that you just implement a generic FOLDER A to FOLDER B comparison/pattern match/rename. That would be even better, actually. You really will have the ultimate if you can get this working? Please and Thank you!
