Do I Update?

[MisterC21]

Hey, little confused so gonna see what the experts say!

I am currently using HS 1.3.0.0 with HL2. I haven't updated for a while for fear of anything going wrong with updates to both HS and HLHQ, but now we are reverting to HL2 as standard am i safe to update?

I have over 100 wheels and bucketloads of emu's so any issues would be a total headache. Any thoughts?

If your happy with your setup and its working... dont touch a thing.

 

If you want to get it working or want to just implrove it... dive on in

I dont need to get it working, just dont wanna break it lol!

I had a friend setup most of HS for me so my knowledge is quite limited, but would be happier running latest versions of everything. Can i just d/l and replace or am i going to be opening a can of worms?

[SIMPLYAUSTIN]

in theory, yes you can... but we all know what HS is like hehehe

Just backup everything and give a try.

 

You may have to setup emulators again (it will be quick if you are using RetroArch). But watch austin vids.

Has anybody tried an update with success yet?  I'd like to see if there's experience in figuring out what problems arise and how to combat them!

Yes, I've done it last weekend.

 

From HS 1.3.0.0 and an HL 3.something to HL 1.3.2 and the last beta of HL.

 

Nothing complicated, keep a backup of everything in case of.

 

I had a problem with dxwnd.ini and had to add HyperSpin as a frontend in HL in order to see all my systems.

I've updated the other day to the newer HL 3.1.0.5b, what i did was rename my Hyperspin to Hyperspin2 and create a new Hyperspin folder then installed the new HL,HLHQ in the new dir, copied all my media over, set a couple of paths to my new location of HS as i changed mine this time, and i think there was only about 3 or emu's i had to change paths for for some reason, took me about 1 hour and all was working great, I did it this way so if anything when wrong i could just copy my media,database's back and have no problems.

 

And the same as above with dxwnd.ini and had to add HyperSpin as a frontend in HL in order to see all my systems

 

I only updated because i wanted the extra functions, and especially some of the newer Modules, and mines going in a cab when i've finished it.
