Ssf

[goldseal99]

hello guys this is prob an old question I have looked around. How do I stop hyperspin changing the settings in ssf it keeps changing the 16.9 setting I tick the box in the emu hyperspin it unticks its like having a fight with it. is there suppose to be a ssf.ini file in the module folder? I just have the ahk and isd

It might help to take a look in your SSF EMU folder. Somewhere in there, there is a folder with configs/ini with each game you have played in there. If you delete all the configs, you essentially let Hyperlaunch's settings become the default, which I imagine is what you want. SSF will then have configs in there based on the settings you have set.

Have you made changes here also, if you make changes here they should, I assume, be written to the SSF.ini when or just before the game starts.

Hi,

SSF is the biggest pile of crap to work with. I had significant problems with it unlike any other emulator, even just configuring the damned controllers was hard but I managed to get two players working.

I found two issues that caused problems you describe:

First of all SSF makes a new config file for each rom you use, so when I kept testing the same ROM using changes to the ahk and the ini file it was simply ignoring them because it had an inherited config file that was generated upon first test. You will need to find and delete these until you have things the way you want them.

Second the ahk file in Hyperlaunch is the one applying the settings, I found making changes to the ini file made no difference as some settings were flat out being overwritten by Hyperlaunch, to see and edit these settings you need to edit the ahk itself, try Notepad++. Make sure you back it up first though or comment out any lines you change and then copy paste them to edit.

Something that might also relate to this is an issue I had in some roms the bottom third of the screen was being cut off (I found this in Panzer Dragoon and Virtual On). At first I blamed the screen ratio settings but this turned out to be an issue with compatability between the BIOS and the ROM region. I had some BIOS that promised to be region free when in fact it doesn't run PAL stuff properly at all. I had oringinally ripped my PAL versions (yes I actually own a Saturn with many games (go me!)), but using NTSC and then using the universal BIOS worked. This issue was a particular whore because I couldn't find any help with it anywhere online and no one else seemed to experiene it.

If you want my SSF ahk or ini just let me know. I also managed to configure a second controller which was just painful given the bug in the latest version with configuring second controller. I had to map using keyboard codes!

Any idea where these are stored?

I was under the impression that all these changes could be made in HyperLaunchHQ rather than changing ini files etc?

Any idea where these are stored?

For me:

\Hyperspin\Emulators\SSF_012_beta_R4\Setting\Saturn

Also check

\Hyperspin\Hyperlaunch\Modules\SSF\SSF.ahk

settingsFile := modulePath . "\" . moduleName . ".ini"

Fullscreen := IniReadCheck(settingsFile, "Settings", "Fullscreen","true",,1)

ShowBIOS := IniReadCheck(settingsFile, "Settings", "ShowBIOS","false",,1)

BilinearFiltering := IniReadCheck(settingsFile, "Settings", "BilinearFiltering","true",,1)

vSync := IniReadCheck(settingsFile, "Settings", "vSync","true",,1)

WideScreen := IniReadCheck(settingsFile, "Settings", "WideScreen","false",,1)

This is what works for me.

Just finished setting up SSF according to gigaguides (thank you) and all is working with full picture and sound with the exception that I am getting narrow horizontal blacklines flickering on and off across the screen during the game no matter which game is loaded.

Am I missing a setting in SSF/HL or is this normal?

Thanks.

Every game?

Do you have scanlines on?

Yes, Every game.

Scanlines are off (unchecked in SSF settings).

That was what happened with 0.12 Beta R4 for me. Try 0.12 Beta R3 (the previous version of the emulator). I use that as a default now, and games do not have the issue you mentioned. There are a handful of games I still need to use R4 for, such as VF2.

^That did the trick.

Thanks.
