New Install and running into some issues

[OneLgGrsy]

It's been a few years since I had my machine up and running (not much me time with a new little one running rampant). But I decided a couple of months ago to go with a new build with updated software (so this is a new machine totally new build - not trying to just update the old one).

I followed to the letter on the build guide - http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?29481-How-to-install-HyperSpin&p=279515&viewfull=1#post279515

installed MAME, have all my ROMS and video, etc.

have been in MAME and am able to play games, but when I launch Hyperspin I can't actually get it to launch the games. The games all show up, the videos play for each as I scroll from one to the next, but the title of the game immediately goes blank. When I hit enter it gives me an error:

I went to the folder and found the file (it was labeled as example so I corrected it), but it still gives me the same error.

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks,

OneLg

So the path is correct and you have obviously renamed the dxwnd (Example).ini to just dxwnd.ini?

Perhaps post your HyperLaunch log set to troubleshooting.

[OneLgGrsy]

Not exactly sure how to do that? where do I get that from?

[gigapig]

Wasn't that issue fixed in a newer release of HLHQ/RL?

That will depend on when OneLgGrsy downloaded his version of HyperRocketLauncher.

You can find the setting for setting the logging level here.

The log is in the HyperLaunch folder, please paste it all including the code tags or put it on pastebin.

Thanks for the replies... I downloaded everything yesterday.

Make sure you can see the extension: Known Extensions Are Set to Show

Are you sure you didn't rename it "dxwnd.ini.ini"?

[OneLgGrsy]

That was exactly my issue... thank you.

Would you happen to know of a way to get it to not ask me if I want to allow Fontreg to run before I play each time? I thought maybe going in and changing the properties to "run as admin" would do it, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

Thanks again.

edit: it is pointing me to the Hyperlaunch\Modules folder. there is a MAME folder with a MAME (example) config file... do I need to switch that to just "MAME" without the example?

To get rid of the fontreg issue, I think you can either install the font which is found here, :\HyperSpin\HyperLaunch\Media\Fonts. Or turn off UAC.

[OneLgGrsy]

I tried removing the UAC which wasn't working (wouldn't start game).

It is asking for permission to "Hyperspin\Hyperlaunch\Module Extensions\FontReg.exe"/copy

I went to the FontReg.exe and changed permissions to run as admin and still not working. You mentioned that something needs installed in the Media\Fonts folder? there is only one file in that folder as of now (BebasNeue truetype font file). Am I missing fonts in that folder that need installed or do you think it is something entirely else?

BebasNeue truetype, is the font, highlight it, right click it and select install.

perfect... thank you so much for your help...

One other thing I am noticing, there is a bit of lag (maybe like 10 seconds) between hitting the enter button and the game popping up. Is there a setting somewhere to fix this?

thanks again for all the help
