Hi , a new version is available for testing .

Some buggs fixed , new features added.

The post have been updated with the new link.

[ninja2bceen]

Simply wow. What's new? Is there a change log? Where did u get the hypersearch wheel art? So is this creating a temp xml file or is it creating permanent ones? Also based on the video, how do you exit hypersearch and go back to the main wheel? I have the .9 version of hypersearch, I see the added benefit of this? Is this almost out of beta?

[r0man0]

Hi , with this version you will be able to define your exit key , to define yours mapped joystick buttons , also you can search by multi-systems , by multi-genres , by multi-years , then you can save results as a new genre , edit saved results , delete save results , add new results to a list , , i've fixed database to improve compatibility and i've added a button for gui parameters.

The xml created to save results is permanent until you delete it by yourself or by hypersearch , the xml created in mode "show" is not deleted until you "show" new results.the function clones use parents themes and videos is inside, so if a clone get a parent video or theme , the parent video and theme will be used . Also when you delete games or list in hypersearch , the parents videos and themes used by another list are not deleted.

The wheel art and background.fr.png have been created by myself with pictures found on internet.

I know that this tool was necessary , i've got more than 60000 games !!! So because it doesn't exist , i've created it.

[lmsilva]

This needs to, eventually, be added to Hyperspin as "out of the box" functionality, so we can have a cleaner experience )

[ninja2bceen]

I currently have this hypersearch

http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?32517-HyperSearch

I personally am not interested in creating new genre per se though it's interesting this way. I'm interested in creating a wheel of all my favorites however, is that possible? I don't like the ability to accidentally delete xmls here. I do like the temp xml u speak of. Is there a way to minimize after use to jump back in hyperspin and then return without having to boot everything up again? Can u post ur hypersearch wheel and theme?

Other picks of the original hypersearch, there are pros and cons to each here. Looking for more info before I make the switch

http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?32517-HyperSearch/page18

[r0man0]

I think you can try it to see all features , and if you doesn't want to keep it you just have to delete it with hyperHQ. This hypersearch have many more options and possibility than the other one, i 've already try it but when you have a very big database you need thoses options.

It's my opinion but i respect also the big work of this application.

[ninja2bceen]

For sure great work. Thanks for sharing for sure. Is there a way to prevent deletion if xmls? I'd prefer to not do that in the ui

[r0man0]

Hi, the temporary "show" xml is better than a permanent "results" xml because when you just want to test a game quickly you just have to enter keywords for name and submit search, if this result appears not to ne the good one , you don't have to delete it and retry again , i think this method quickly and simply : you show and test instead of save , show , test , and delete. But i would make a precision : you can also add to favorites in mode show , so if you find a result to keep : just add it to favorites and use the button show all favorites in hypersearch : your new favorite will be added to all the others.

Also for the option delete xml , you have to confirm this with a warning message so it can't be a mistake.Perhaps you says that because you have multi-users ? Maybe an option with a parental code to prevent bad usage from other users will be usefull... So i will add it to the next release .

[ninja2bceen]

Thanks. I'm just thinking if I or anyone ever wants to delete an xml, we should have to go in the folders and delete it. In the ui I just want my lists, make some list is cool, add to favorites. Just don't want to make mistakes and delete stuff by accident even If there is a warning I'd like that hidden. Thanks for considering that as an enhancement

In terms of the favorites thing... What I'm really after is say I have favorites already for every system. It seems that u can add to those favorites sure... But I like ur create xml idea. Is there anyway to take all the current favorites that you have that are in the ini files and convert the. Into a favorites xml wheel based on an xml that would be created. So think of a ultimate favorites wheel with all the systems with what u already have and u could add more favorites to it. Is that possible? Descriptions, year, manufacturer info would all still display

Can u post ur wheel art for hypersearch and animations?

Can we have the option to show or hide the show dropdown? Default it to show. When playing I would never need something more then show... The other options are good for editing which would be good for creating themed wheels or something, one offs for me at least. I love love love the results wheel though! Question in the video u always press yes to create a results sub wheel.what happens when u press no? Can we get it to always create a results temp wheel and remove the yes / no?

Can we hide the donate button?

What's the show all favorites really do? Is that across all systems essentially?

Great looking tool, just looking at it from a perspective of a tool to search and not necessarily edit

[r0man0]

Hi , actually, the button "show all favorites" copy all your favorites from all yours systems including hypersearch to a temp result as in "show" mode , i think that is a good idea also to create , edit or delete a permanent xml for favorites , so this option will be added.

I think that only the mode show will be used in parental control on next release (to prevent results added , edited or deleted).

You have in the .zip to download all themes and wheels that i have used, so use it as you want.

The message box before "show" results is necessary because if HyperSearch find too many results , you need to say "no" most of time , because it will take a long time to copy all themes,Wheel,video ect... that's why you have the possibility to say "no" or also select only what you need to see.

For donate button, it cannot be hide for the moment.

[ninja2bceen]

Thanks, this certainly has my attention now. I'll try it out on ur next release

Thanks

[ninja2bceen]

Can u explain steps 11-15 more? Does this mess up any inis u currently have with hyperlaunch? Do we lose any compatibility if we remove the real hyperlaunch and replace it with urs

[r0man0]

Hi , i'm going to edit my post with a third beta release , this new beta version will have 2 more options :

Parental control -> to prevent access to parameters with PIN code and limit search results to show mode

Parental filter -> to exclude game search result those who contains in the xml description or xml genre keywords as "sex","mature","adult"... and also block them on game launch by others systems wheels.

The current beta release already got the possibility to save All your favorites to a genre , so you can also edit,add,and delete this "favorites genre" like the others.

Also i've fixed a bugg for background image in fullscreen.

I'll also edit my post to explain configuration for all parameters.

After this third beta release, no more options will be added , i'll fixed all sumited buggs in order to post the final released as soon as possible.

[ninja2bceen]

When is the complete version ready? Do u need testers? I plan to set this up soon, been watching it.need more testers?

[r0man0]

Yes , if you plan to test this app, you're welcome , as i says before , i would like to post final released as soon as possible.;-)

[ninja2bceen]

If I have time today I will, otherwise it may be after xmas but before the new year

[ninja2bceen]

With the new hyper launch coming out, does ur hyper launch aka hyper search exe need updated too? I was just about to test this and thought that may screw things up. I haven't updated RocketLauncher.01 yet but will after the bugs get worked out. I assume we can just replace the real hyper launch exe and keep the naming convention but does your hyperlajnch need updates after each hyperlajnch h release as well?

I'm a bit confused on the set up. Renaming the real hyper launch to something else screws up my set up. I have a multi program script that runs upon opening hyperspin from grutch. It needs the hyperlajnch folder path and a real hyperlajnch exe name hyperlaunch so I renamed the real hyperlaunch as it was before all this. I put ur file however in the hyperspin folder and named it hyperlaunch as you suggested. I pointed hyperhq to the hyperlaunch aka hypersearch exe in the hyperspin folder. It seems to be working but the creating database screen is just sitting at id say 33%

I wanted to rename ur exe to hypersearch but I got an error message to rename it hyperlaunch. Why do u have to do that? Having two hyper launches is certainly confusing and messing with the original hyperlaunch exe is probably not a good idea. Can you fix that? How long do I have to wait for the database to be created?

Here is the amazing startup script that most everyone is using by now which this needs to work with that

The developer of this application should treat his program as an emulator for a single wheel, instead of a global default type emulator for all wheels like hyperlaunch. Setup in hyperhq would ideally look like

instead of renaming hyperlaunch. This would make your program a bit more straightforward to add. You can always get the system name information if you were using it by including it in the romname information.

Also hyperlaunch updates way too frequently (meaning needs to be manually renamed frequently) and is typically updated using git which means renaming RocketLauncher can cause potential headaches due to HyperLaunch.exe no longer being in sync with the master git version.

I'm happy to see another developer interested in hyperspin.

Good idea , i'm going to modify hypersearch as an independant emulator as you purpose.

Filter parental , will be the only problem : it will only be enabled for hypersearch results games.

But i will let the ability to get parental filter for all systems, for those who need it , by renaming hypersearch as hyperlaunch.

Because of this conversion , i'll update soon main post of this threat with a new beta release, before the final one.

[ninja2bceen]

Thanks! The parental control isn't entirely needed I think. Can u delete datbasesusing this? I still don't like the delete function here all together. When using hyperspin it's about finding games, creating wheels and favorites. I can see deleting a temp database but I don't think u should be able to delete main menu xmls right

Don't be affraid , hypersearch will never touch or edit yours hyperspin settings or databases , hypersearch create it's own xml databases in order to store results , hypersearch save all xml created in it's own databases directory, all artworks , xml and vids are copyed from source, source is not changed or deleted...

That's why there is a button to recreate database (file HyperSearchDatabase.dat -> the database of hypersearch) , necessary in case if you update yours systems xml.

[ninja2bceen]

Amazing. Can't wait to try the new version that acts as an emulator

Hi , for some strange reason i cannot edit my main post for the moment (maybe the problem come from hyperspin forum server).

Don't worry : you can get the link of the fourth beta version of HyperSearch on my youtube channel :

I will edit my post as soon as it will be possible.

[arshesney]

Thanks for your work, I just downloaded the latest beta, seems there is an issue with hyperlaunch.exe location: hypersearch is looking for the exe in the main hyperspin folder and not in the correct hyperlaunch subfolder (I do not have parental control enabled). I was able to "trick it" by copying hyperlaunch.exe in the main hyperspin folder, then manuallky editing the .ini with the correct location FullPathOriginalHyperLaunchExecutable=HyperLaunch\hyperlaunch.exe (the HyperLaunch\ part is what I added)
