; OpenBOR

; PCLauncher.exe

; by djvj

; 1.2

Please read anything djvj has included in the module pertaining to setup.

In your HyperSpin\Games\ folder create an OpenBor folder. ----> HyperSpin\Games\OpenBor\

Inside the OpenBor folder create an empty AutoHotkey Script name it OpenBor.ahk and compile it. ----> HyperSpin\Games\OpenBor\OpenBor.ahk ----> HyperSpin\Games\OpenBor\OpenBor.exe

Each game should have it's own folder inside the OpenBor folder. ----> HyperSpin\Games\OpenBor\GameName\

Inside each folder you need the OpenBor files and dirs. ----> 4 Folders - Logs, Paks, Saves, and ScreenShots -- 4 files -borpak.exe, packer.bat, paxplode.bat, and OpenBOR.exe

The actual game or PAK file should go into the Paks folder. ----> HyperSpin\Games\OpenBor\GameName\Paks\GameName.pak

Inside the OpenBor folder create a blank txt file for each game. ----> HyperSpin\Games\OpenBor\GameName.txt -- If you have all the wheels this can be skipped

Point HyperHQ emulator to the empty compiled OpenBor.exe

Point to the txt files for your roms or to the wheel images (if you have all of them for the games you have) be sure to set your extension accordingly

Edit the settings.ini according to the instructions in the module

Hope this helps at least a little bit

sorry dustind900,

it's a full day i'm trying to set openbor to start in hyperlaunch but i didn't try.

it's too much if i ask you if you could upload into the ftp the structure of your openbor with all files except .pak ?

thank you also if you can't

EDIT1 --> i made everything like you described

this is the structure:

C:\Hyperspin\Emulators\OpenBOR --> here's only the dummy.exe, an ahk empty of 1kb, pointed by hyperhq and hyperlaunch

C:\Hyperspin\Emulators\OpenBOR\A Tale Of Vengeance --> there are the 4 folders and the 4 files, inside paks folders there's the tale of vengeance.pak

everythings looks correct... but hyperlaunch can't find anything... look the image .. damn

no ones could help?

I've tried the same as the poster above, with no luck. But I pointed HyperlaunchHQ to the dummy OpenBor.exe in the OpenBor folder. Are we missing something?

[fieldgoal00]

I got it to work !!!! followed the steps above

[nikeymikey]

I have a wierd problem with this too, i followed the steps above but HL cannot find any of the games. However if i double up on the folders in my game path, it works....

For example BLAH:\Hyperspin\Emulators\RomFiles\OpenBOR\A Tale of Vengeance\OpenBor.exe does not work

But... BLAH:\Hyperspin\Emulators\RomFiles\OpenBOR\A Tale of Vengeance\Paks\A Tale of Vengeance\OpenBor.exe does

Can anyone explain why this is happening? Id rather not double up if i really dont have to

It seems its looking inside the Paks folder for the exe instead of the "GameName" folder, i am using the default module and ini the comes with the latest updated HL.

The instructions above seem to be the way to do it with the old hyperspin. I have tried to get OpenBOR to work within hyperspin following the module instructions exactly without any luck. I have been working on it for hours, I normally try not to ask for help until I have exhausted all options. Does someone have a small mini tutorial on getting OpenBOR to work with Hyperspin newest version? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Figured it out

How did you get it working? Mine still will not work properly, still having the problem i described above

In the OpenBor Games folder you must have:

- One empty txt file for each game with the game name as in the xml

- One subfolder for each game. The name of the dir must be the same as in the xlm and as the above txt

----Inside each game subfolder there must be a "Paks" sub-subfolder where you place the pak file, no matter the name of the pak.

----Inside each game subfolder there must be openbor.exe

Emulator:

As emulator point to one of the openbor.exe, no matter which (you will have as many exe as many game subfolders)

Rom extension:

As roms extension choose txt.

That's all.
