RELEASE: HyperSpin Checker

betic · January 18, 2012

Do you have the last version of the program available? It worked great for me, then I downloaded the latest version. Now when I tell it to check my systems, its instantly done and has no data/results. It's been a great help till now though. Thank you for this.

cosmicr · January 21, 2012

I seem to be having the same problem. I notice it creates two empty folders "temp" and "data" too.

BladeZX · January 25, 2012

I just ran it here and it ran fine through all of my systems and I have a lot of them

Are you seeing any errors?

betic · January 25, 2012

Just to setup what I'm running...It's XP SP3 (Tiny XP actually as I wanted to strip all fluff out). When I tell it to check all systems, it's instantly done and the following is the error I keep getting. It worked great in the last version with no errors at all.

See the end of this message for details on invoking

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

For example:

<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

It looks liek it cannot find the MAME xml file

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Hyperspin Applications\HyperSpin Checker\data\MAME.xml'.

The app uses the xml files in HS to get its info so make sure those are correct

betic · January 25, 2012

The MAME XML is fine. It's the one I've been using straight from Hyperlist. Just downloaded it again, ran the check, and I get the same error. Like I said, it worked without an error in the last version, but with this past update, it's giving this error and none of the XML's changed between the update. Since it works on your system and not mine (and mine worked before), I would think it's something my system lacks that yours has.

When the program is first run, it creates the data, reports and temp folders. After the scan is complete (which is instantly), all the folders are still empty. The error is the same no matter what system I check (replacing MAME with whatever the other system name is). Dunno if that helps any. If it's working great for you though and only a couple are affected by this, it's probably not a big deal. Thanks for putting this out still.

BladeZX · January 26, 2012

Try 1.0.8 I posted in the first thread.

I removed the change I made in the last build.

betic · January 26, 2012

Thanks! I'll check it when I get home later.

betic · January 26, 2012

Tried the the latest build and it worked great. Gave me a warning on the 3 known (empty) xml files and took about 2 minutes to process the rest. Works great, no problems. Thanks!

BladeZX · January 26, 2012

Glad it is working.

MiTKiNG · January 29, 2012

Congratulations BladeZX, this is one of the best user custom apps I have tried. Simple, fast, and do what its described.

It would be awesome that the application could point you somewhere to find your missing resources (joking!)

By the way, I have had an error scaning NES system. It says:

Caught this exception parsing xml file (<path>/Nintendo Entertainment System.xml)--> An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 83, position 32.

I could sned you my xml. It seems like you are expecting some tags that are missing or something...

Thanks and keep up the good work!

I appreciate the kind words.

Please email your xml file zipped to me

I will PM you my email

flashlight · January 30, 2012

This is an amazing program though i get exception parsing some of my xml files as well. If you pm me your email i could email mine.

Is there any way to not include clone roms in the report thats generated? it thinks im missing a ridiculous amount of files because of the amount of clones for mame.

BladeZX · January 30, 2012

I do not use the full MAME xml.

I use the one posted by Lashek which seems to work great and eliminates the clones.

flashlight · January 30, 2012

Weird i used the one from http://hyperlist.hyperspin-fe.com/ and ended up with more clones than what i started, maybe our definition of clone is different. Same game but different revisions or regions such as europe/japan/usa.

MiTKiNG · January 30, 2012

I appreciate the kind words.
Please email your xml file zipped to me

I will PM you my email

I will send as soon as I can, but I think that my nes xml file is the one located in hyperlist here in the site. I have not modded it in any way.

Thanks for your support!

Make sure you do not have any & characters in the xml or it will choke on it.

Replace the & characters in the XML with this:

Thanks for the tip.

Probably we should suggest this to people who mantain hyperList ¿?

BladeZX · January 31, 2012

Yes the original XML file should be fixed in HyperList

flashlight · February 3, 2012

I love this program i was missing a lot of roms i wasnt aware of, but it doesnt appear to be recognizing mdf mds files for the playstation xml checker. The names match but it doesnt recognize the files as being there.

BladeZX · April 27, 2012

I updated the app to fix an issue with not finding some videos and artwork.

See first post for updated app.

DrMoney · April 27, 2012

Firstly, thanks for this great tool. it's already been extremely useful. Second, it doesn't recognize your rompath if they're set relative (..\Hyperspin\BlahBlah\etc.) in HyperHQ.

BladeZX · April 28, 2012

Firstly, thanks for this great tool. it's already been extremely useful. Second, it doesn't recognize your rompath if they're set relative (..\Hyperspin\BlahBlah\etc.) in HyperHQ.

When they are set relative in HS... what is the starting folder? If I know that then I can fix it for you.

DrMoney · April 28, 2012

The entire path would be M:\Hyperspin\Emulators\Super Nintendo Entertainment System\Roms\.

BladeZX · April 28, 2012

Not sure why you are using relative paths. I have full paths in for everything.

Paste in what your rom path looks like in HyperHQ

The path from relative should be you hyperspin folder where the HyperHQ exe is, correct?

I really do not use relative paths so i am not sure how HyperHQ treats them. It must have a starting folder from where it goes

ALso, you also may want to check out my HyperSpin Manager app. You may find it useful to rename roms and other files to match your database.
