avisioncame Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 I am having an odd problem. On my PC, I have hyperspin, and all roms/files/art on my C drive. I had an external harddrive to this computer that I was using as "My Documents" and thus had my AppData folder on. I have since moved the PC down to my arcade cabinet as I am preparing to finish my build, and left my "Documents" external drive upstairs with my new office computer. As far as I know, that "Documents" drive did not have any files on it related or connected to Hyperspin in any way. However, since that drive was designated as a system folder in a way, Windows 7 has given me a "temporary user account" (no big deal, will fix this by just making a new account); but yet I am now having the following problem with HS; Hyperspin opens fine. I currently only have a single wheel running, which is MAME. So it opens to mame. All videos/art/wheel art displays fine. I can scroll through games, select them, games open fine. The PROBLEM is when I try to say, skip ahead by letter or sort by genre - HS decides to crash. Basically it just displays the MAME theme background, all wheel art and video or text disappears. I have to ALT+F4 out and restart. Anyone else have experience with such a problem? I can try to provide screens if needed. Thank you!
albert_c Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Your arcade is a CRT based cab running at 640x480? Using ArcadeVGA or some sort of video card that outputs to 15khz? When you find great deals on Craigslist for CRT based cabs, exuberance can be a bad thing! Current status of cabs: 0/5 working as desired :wallbash:
avisioncame Posted September 24, 2014 Author Posted September 24, 2014 Your arcade is a CRT based cab running at 640x480? Using ArcadeVGA or some sort of video card that outputs to 15khz? No, it is an LCD. I am pretty sure it is not a graphical issue.
avisioncame Posted September 24, 2014 Author Posted September 24, 2014 Attached are screenshots of what I am experiencing. Note the the first image. As I scroll through games, the titles overlap each other.
scooter1974 Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 There could be some applications that you are using in HyperSpin that have stored information on your "Documents" drive, in the app data folder. Just a guess, but wouldn't hurt to have a look. Check out my MAME Arcade classics themes!
avisioncame Posted September 24, 2014 Author Posted September 24, 2014 Hmm...good tip... The only "application" I can think of that is currently running with Hyperspin is Project64... but as I currently have the wheel set to MAME only should that matter? Can you think of a typical application that would be running adjacent to HS that I am not thinking of? I tried setting it back to have the intro wheel with all my different emulators. I can scroll through the emulators, but when I try to select one, it just "resets" the screen (imagine hitting the back button while in a specific wheel, how it takes you back to the main wheel, looks like that).
avisioncame Posted September 25, 2014 Author Posted September 25, 2014 Just wanted to update this problem as FIXED! Did some searching around, finally found someone with a similar problem to mine. Even after a clean install of HS it was doing the exact same thing. The answer was to INSTALL MY SOUND CARD DRIVER! Weird, I know, but it worked. Everything is smooth now!
