    The HyperSpin 2 early access beta is here!

    We’re starting the first public testing phase with Platinum Members to keep the scope manageable while we test the current feature set and begin to add more. In the future, we’ll provide a version for basic members as well.  On behalf of the entire HyperSpin team, we look forward to another exciting adventure with our community.

Using XML Indexes makes sub-wheel goes black

Sooo... I'm setting some not-default systems, I had no problem making the XML for the first one (and using XML Indexes for its sub-wheel), but for the second one, for some strange reason, I can't use XML Indexes Oo

The wheel works fines if I don't check the "Use XML Indexes" box, so it's not a problem in the XML itself (also I'm using a XML editor to make sure I don't forget tags open and misplace/mispell stuff)... I have no idea why I get that black screen and have to close HyperSpin using Alt F4 if I check that box, it's model is the same I used for the other system and it works perfectly there, I think there is no problem in that (since works in the other sub-wheel), but here is what I'm using anyway:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<menu>
  <game name="Game Name"> 
      <description>Game Name</description>
      <cloneof></cloneof>
      <crc></crc>
      <manufacturer></manufacturer>
      <year></year>
      <genre></genre>
  </game>
</menu>

Again, the sub-wheel works if I do not set to use XML Indexes... why it does not work when I set it?

Having the same issue and havent found a solution. Did you happen to solve it? I placed my Mame XML in order that I wanted, not specifically alphabetically, but rather keeping the sequels to games next to the originals (Pac Man, MsPacMan, etc) and no matter which I check its always the same problem.

Okay, I figured it out for whomever this happens to. If you edit your XML in MS Excel, it removes the index="" image="" after the gamename at the top of each XML entry. Hyperspin doesnt see that working if you use XML indexes. Since I have a OCD thing, I need my games to be in the order I designated, and had to make this work.

You should have index="" image="" for EVERY game in your XML, and only 26 of them should read "true" with a letter for image. Hope this helps!
