Getting the 'No default emulator found' error on multiple tries with different emus

thomas3120 · October 14, 2014

Hello,

I installed everything just about perfect, updated with git, etc..

When I place an emu in the emulator folder and go to the settings folder to set up the paths, etc.. then try it but no luck :/

Any help appreciated,

Thomas

Hello Thomas and welcome to the forums!

How about this one??

Thanks,

Ron

Thanks rfancella,

I think I have that squared away...didn't know to go in there and do that

Now I'm getting some type of "don't use ',' or '.' instead use 'I' for, I believe the extensions?

Also, Do the emulators and their files 'Have' to be in the folder 'Emulators'. Could I type in the path to them or put a shortcut in the Emulator folder?

thanks again,

what tutorial or how to are you following.

in your first post, those are rom/emulator paths set with hyperHQ, thanks to Hyeprlaunch 3 you can actually leave those blank.

You need to set up a Global emulator or system emulator (not recommend) before you can select an emulator as Ron suggested.

Thomas,

If you look at the screen I posted, right above Global Emulator is the area to select Rom Path. They can be anywhere.

For the extensions, if you set them in HyperHQ you have to use a comma ",". When setting them in HyperLaunchHQ, you use a pipe "|".

Thanks,

Ron

Thomas,

Here is my current setup that works for me.

HyperHQ:

HLHQ (HyperLaunchHQ) GLOBAL Emulator (Stella):

HLHQ Atari 2600 settings:

HLHQ My Rom (games) location:

HLHQ Default Emulator:

HLHQ Game Audit (all green and ready to test):

Let me know how you get along with these settings.

Thanks,

Ron

Ron, I really appreciate the help.

Will try it/compare it to mine.

Also, a couple of questions, do I really have to have all the emulators and roms in the hyperspin\emulator folder? (can I just put the paths to where they are?

I really like VColecoWin Colecovision emulator. I didn't see a module or (.afk?) file for it. Is it possible to generate or compile one for it?

Thanks again,

Thomas

No worries at all. Glad to help when I can.

The roms can be anywhere. You just have to point hlhq to them.

There should be a module list:

MESS, BizHawk, BlueMSX and FreezeSMS that run ColecoVision.

Thanks,

Ron

Hello,

Making some progress... I got MAME, Sega Genesis, Game Gear, Master Sys SNES, NES and several other Emus working now

I've been having a bunch of trouble with PC Games though. I know this has come up and I spent the last 4 days looking up info...but still no luck.

Here's my setup:

In D:\HyperSpin\Roms I have all my system roms and also a folder 'PC Games' which contains shortcuts to the .EXEs.

I made an XML file in: D:\HyperSpin\Database\Pc Games\Pc Games.xml

Here:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<menu>
<game name="BatMan.lnk" index="" image="">
<description>BatMan</description>
<cloneof></cloneof>
<crc></crc>
<manufacturer></manufacturer>
<year></year>
<genre></genre>
</game

<game name="Blur(TM).lnk" index="" image="">
<description>Blur(TM)</description>
<cloneof></cloneof>
<crc></crc>
<manufacturer></manufacturer>
<year></year>
<genre></genre>
</game>

<game name="DONKEY KONG.lnk" index="" image="">
<description>DONKEY KONG</description>
<cloneof></cloneof>
<crc></crc>
<manufacturer></manufacturer>
<year></year>
<genre></genre>
</game>

<game name="Duke Nukem 1 and 2.lnk" index="" image="">
<description>Duke Nukem 1 and 2</description>
<cloneof></cloneof>
<crc></crc>
<manufacturer></manufacturer>
<year></year>
<genre></genre>
</game>

<game name="glquake.lnk" index="" image="">
<description>glquake</description>
<cloneof></cloneof>
<crc></crc>
<manufacturer></manufacturer>
<year></year>
<genre></genre>
</game>

etc...

Then here's what I have in: D:\HyperSpin\Settings\Pc Games

.ini file:

I remember reading about approaching this 2 different ways...

Games won't launch and show up red/ not found in HLHQ.

Wondering if I have my settings in HyperHQ are ok?...any help/info on this appreciated.

Also, anything needs to be set or done in HyperLaunchHQ?
