sharp x68000 setup

[zerojay]

Thank you based Craig.

[craiganderson]

this global resolution problem is actually more difficult to solve than i thought

because the module selects the resolution based upon the "value" not the "description"

if everything doesnt line up with YOUR or MY particular system,, the wrong resolution will be selected

<VALUES>

<VALUE description="800x600">0</VALUE>

<VALUE description="1024x768">1</VALUE>

<VALUE description="1176x664">2</VALUE>

<VALUE description="1280x720">3</VALUE>

<VALUE description="1280x768">4</VALUE>

<VALUE description="1360x768">5</VALUE>

</VALUES>

lemme think for a sec

[craiganderson]

i could just do it like this

<VALUES>

<VALUE description="first choice">0</VALUE>

<VALUE description="second choice">1</VALUE>

<VALUE description="third choice">2</VALUE>

<VALUE description="fourth choice">3</VALUE>

<VALUE description="fifth choice">4</VALUE>

.

.

.

.

.

<VALUE description="fifteenth choice">5</VALUE>

</VALUES>

and then the user would have to look at his or her emulator options, count down to the one they want,... then choose that one in HLHQ

that would work

acceptable?

I think so! This way will be universal.

[craiganderson]

100% of respondents agree!

let it be so!

edit: ok ....i changed the .isd and updated the version in the download

thanks

The module not work for me, i am spanish, i download the new module with "abrir", when i run "3 Danhenkei Meka Fuzzy (Craig).XM6" the dos window say "sbst no se reconoce como un comando" (for some reason, the command does not run well, instead of subst says sbst).

Thanks and sorry for my bad english

[craiganderson]

we need to change the keys sent to the command window

if you look in the module (.ahk) file you will see a portion like this

; (CREATE A VIRTUAL "S:" DRIVE FOR ROMS IF A REAL OR VIRTUAL ONE DOES NOT EXIST) AND (ONLY IF HLHQ SETTINGS INDICATE VIRTUAL DRIVE BEING USED)
If TypeDrive = 1
{
	If romExtension = .XM6
	{
		If FileExist("S:\Hyperspin Roms_Seagate\Sharp X68000\Roms")
		{
			Sleep, 5
			Sleep, 5
		}
		else
		{
			Loop
			{
				If FileExist("S:\Hyperspin Roms_Seagate\Sharp X68000\Roms")
				{
					Sleep, 10
					break
				}			
				StringTrimRight, VDDromPath, romPath, 41
				Run, cmd.exe
				WinWait("cmd.exe ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass")
				WinWaitActive("cmd.exe ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass")
				SetKeyDelay, 50
				SendInput, {s down}{s up}{u down}{u up}{b down}{b up}{s down}{s up}{t down}{t up}
				Sleep, 10
				SendInput, {Space down}{Space up}{s down}{s up}{: down}{: up}{Space down}{Space up}
				Sleep, 10
				SendInput, {" down}{" up}
				Sleep, 10
				SendInput, %VDDromPath%
				Sleep, 10
				SendInput, {" down}{" up}
				Sleep, 150
				SendInput, {Enter}
				Sleep, 150
				WinClose, cmd.exe
			}
		}
	}
}

it is basically sending keystrokes to command prompt window

see how it does s down, s up, u down, u up, b down, b up etc

here it is again,

SendInput, {s down}{s up}{u down}{u up}{b down}{b up}{s down}{s up}{t down}{t up}

Sleep, 10

SendInput, {Space down}{Space up}{s down}{s up}{: down}{: up}{Space down}{Space up}

Sleep, 10

SendInput, {" down}{" up}

Sleep, 10

SendInput, %VDDromPath%

Sleep, 10

SendInput, {" down}{" up}

Sleep, 150

SendInput, {Enter}

with the end result being

subst s: "%VDDromPath%"

you need to put your keys in there

does that make sense?

i done know what they would be in spanish

maybe someone can help

thanks

Very thanks craiganderson

[floatingyeti]

Thank you Craig! I'm currently going through the xml and adding all year, manufacturer, and genre info. Its going to take awhile. Im up to line 1089 of 9106. When finished ill upload updated xml and genre xmls.

[craiganderson]

awesome

thanks

craig

[craiganderson]

Craig, this system is quite the little gem. It really makes me want to learn Japanese if for nothing else to be able to play some of the cool RPGs on this thing. That Aquales game is cool (robot with a grappling hook). I tested playing the Sorceran or something with like 4 guys following you around. That game has some amazing music. This thing rocks! Funny when I started helping you make wheels and I was making some for the Numbered Games, I have to tell you I was put off. After scrolling through and playing a few of these I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS on ANY setup!

Thanks for all your hard work! Amazing!

thanks

Is it possible to adapt this module to a Spanish Windows? I know that in the module Gamecom that possibility exists.

MEmuV = v29/12/1998

MSystem = "Tiger Game.com"
;----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Notes:
; Make sure you have ALL the roms on the emulator dir and also the following files: BITMAP2.BIN, MAIN.HEX, MAIN0.HEX, & MAIN0S.HEX
; Roms must be unzipped
; If you do not have an English windows, set the language you use for the MLanguage setting in HLHQ. Currently only Spanish/Portuguese is supported.
;
; Keys:
; A,S,Z,X - A,B,C,D (like the console layout)
; F2 - Reset
; F3 - Mute
; F4 - Pause (this seems to reboot the console also)
; Arrows - Digital pad

I adapt the .isd file, but I had no luck with the module:

[craiganderson]

yeah. it is possible for sure

and i will do it but i need to know two things

is the correct word for "open" = "Abrir" on your computer?

______________________________________

and then the only other thing is a command that is sent to the command prompt window!

i needs to send

subst s: "%VDDromPath%" at one point

and

subst s: /d at another point.

would this command be the same in spanish?? i dont know the answer.

here is a page that talks about the process

[klizine]

Thank you Craig! I'm currently going through the xml and adding all year, manufacturer, and genre info. Its going to take awhile. Im up to line 1089 of 9106. When finished ill upload updated xml and genre xmls.

Some of the years are impossible to find. I started, but gave up. Best of luck!

[floatingyeti]

Some of the years are impossible to find. I started, but gave up. Best of luck!

well then i just resort to 19xx. My main reason for working on the xml is to include genre info to help sort through the long list of games.

[Melu]

is the correct word for "open" = "Abrir" on your computer?

Yes, it is possible . I know in Game.com & Philips VG5000 modules used the parameter mLang := Object("English","Open","Spanish/Portuguese","Abrir")

I'm not sure if it is Windows or emulator problem

but I do not understand programming modules.

What I have to do with this?

subst s: "%VDDromPath%" at one point

and

subst s: /d at another point.

Thank you for your attention

[craiganderson]

I will make a module for you.

Here try this one.

Spanish module

May have to alter it more

Please let me know if it works

See below

XM6.zip

[craiganderson]

but make sure you do this

http://craigandersonthemes.weebly.com/sharp-x68000.html

to see if it is working

im not sure if the command prompt part will work for your spanish windows

we can fix it if it isnt

[craiganderson]

thanks to dougan78 for this info

one more additional way to add sharp x68000 to your hyperspin

http://craigandersonthemes.weebly.com/sharp-x68000.html

[Climber]

Thanks Craiganderson for the Sharp x68000 setup tried with dougan78 setup and worked like a charm

[craiganderson]

Awesome

Make sure u check its truly working via the method in the pic. Because the save state files will load a game and look good to go even if they can't find Roms (ie no text in floppy drives). But if the text is in the floppy drives you are truly good to go. See red arrows in pic. Thanks for trying it out.

[Climber]

Yes Craiganderson loaded that game up and both disks show on bottom just like picture thanks again for this great system

[craiganderson]

Awesome. Have a good one.

[macnods]

Hi, now work for me, very thanks

Cheers

[Melu]

Workedd!!!!!!!! My fault was that i had to run games with extension XM6.
