RELEASE: HyperSpin Checker

BladeZX · July 23, 2011

I wrote a simple application to help check what is missing in HyperSpin for your systems. I have been using this for a bit now and I think it works ok so I thought I would release it for all.

This application relies on the settings you enter into HyperHQ. You will need to specify your ROM path as well as whether or not to use a subfolder search. It also relies on the extensions in HyperHQ.

You need to unzip the EXE to a new folder of your choice. When you run the application you can choose which system you want to process or you can process all systems. It will create a text file for each system that shows you what you are missing.

Please give it a try if you wish.

Feedback always welcome.

Enjoy

HyperSpin Checker 1.0.16

jweber · July 24, 2011

Thank you, easy to use and works great!

azzbarb · July 24, 2011

cool, works great, would be good if it also checked for missing boxart.

BladeZX · July 24, 2011

I have updated the app. The link in the first thread is updated.

The reports will now be created in a reports subfolder. It will also store xml files about each system in the data folder.

You can then use the Reports button on my main page to show you what you are missing for each game in each system.

It will highlight a game in red if anything is missing for the game.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

BladeZX · July 25, 2011

I have updated the app to 1.0.2

I have attempted to check the artwork folder. This is a hit and miss first attempt at this. Please try it out and let me know how it goes.

Thx

Mr Black Arm · July 25, 2011

I must have telekinetic powers, because I was just thinking how cool it would be to have a program like this. I'm currently using HyperSync for this (which is a great program), but this seems like it simplifies things a lot more. Downloading now and I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!

BladeZX · July 25, 2011

There was an issue with the 1.0.2 zip file. I have corrected it so you may need to download the zip again.

HyphyCus · July 27, 2011

I run the check but it never does anything, just says scan is done right away. Then I click on reports and it JIT errors that it can't find the xml file in the data folder, when I click to go to the report I just checked. The data folder is empty as well.

Win 7 x64.

BladeZX · July 27, 2011

I am using Win7 64bit as well.

Just specify your Hyperspin folder, select the system or ALL and click Check.

Make sure you download the latest zip because if you downloaded it when i first put it up it was missing a file. You should have an exe and a dll in your folder. If not then download the zip again and try it.

HyphyCus · July 27, 2011

Was missing DLL. Atari 2600 shows up empty though but works fine in HyperHQ and HyperSpin.

BladeZX · July 27, 2011

Do you have the information in HyperHQ filled out for the 2600?

Does it show any info about the atari 2600?

HyphyCus · July 27, 2011

Do you have the information in HyperHQ filled out for the 2600?
Does it show any info about the atari 2600?

The database XML is no different than my 5200 database XML.

This is all the XML shows in the checker after doing a scan:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<system />

BladeZX · July 27, 2011

Does the 5200 work when scanned?

The app does not alter the xml at all... only reads it

Send me a PM with your 2600 xml file and I will try it here.

Thx

HyphyCus · July 27, 2011

The 5200 works.

Sent PM.

BladeZX · July 28, 2011

I replied.

I also updated the zip file to get rid of the message box that pops up. I forgot to remove that

BladeZX · July 28, 2011

I updated the build to 1.0.4

This includes the ability to cancel the check in progress.

It will also dsplay an error message if it has issues with parsing an xml file. It will tell you the line number that gace the issue.

The biggest issue will be the & in the xml file. You must use & for all ampersands.

BladeZX,

First thanks for the application, repairs will be very useful, although I'm using x64 Win7 and gave the error described below.

thanks

Also... it seems to be an xml error. Can you please send me the xml file for the system it was processing when this happened.

BladeZX · August 1, 2011

Updated app.

The app will now report if the system wheel, theme, default theme and video exist on the report text file.

BladeZX · August 1, 2011

Updated app to 1.0.6 to fix a few bugs.

HyphyCus · December 6, 2011

Having an issue with the Sega Model 3 xml on HyperList. Won't process the file and create the file in the data folder for reporting, so it throws a JIT error saying it can't find the xml file in the data directory. Using 1.0.6. Tried changing ' to ' but it didn't fix the issue.

hello,

can you add support for PNG checking as Videos?

Hyperspin also allows static PNG images instead of FLV videos.

all my PNG's are not reported unfortunately.

thanks

Try the latest build

DJ-phYre · January 16, 2012

Is it supposed to copy you xml files to data directory? I am getting <console>.xml not found

BladeZX · January 18, 2012

All it does is read your console xml files. It uses some settings in the ini files as well.
