Just a thought....

When renaming cue/bin files.

My PS1 archives were renamed to match the hyperspin xml database. Eg

Original

Game [slu1356].zip

Renamed to Game.zip

They would then audit and run fine from hyperspinHQ. I found that inside archive the bin and cue were still named

Game [slu1356].cue

Game [slu1356].bin

However, the game ran ok, as the cue file pointed to the single bin file.

BUT I ran into problems with multi bin games.

I found that they were named

Game [slu1356].cue

Game [slu1356].bin

Game [slu1356] track02.bin

Game [slu1356] track03.bin

Game [slu1356] track04.bin

The problem was that the cue was referencing the first bin file as

Game [slu1356] track01.bin

When in fact it was named

Game [slu1356].bin

I'm not sure why the first bin has been renamed which no longer corresponds to its cue.

So how do we fix that?

Either renaming the bin to match the cue or editing the referenced bin name in the cue.

Would it be possible to do this from an archive or would it have to be unpacked to a folder first?

I would like to select my rom folder which has the roms in an archive either zip,7z,rar

Then the program reads the cue file and sees that there is a mis referenced bin file and either renames the bin file to match or edits the cue content to match the orphaned bin file.

Then save updates to archive. Alternatively make the user unpack archived roms before you start.

As some sets are over 1000 roms this automation would be awesome.

Hello,

I'm testing the program with snes box art artwork and I choose "Move unneeded roms or media to subfolder" to remove box arts to games I do not have.

I dunno why, but after a certain amount of files I get an error. So some files were removed and some don't.

The error is this: "Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue... Length cannot be less than zero. Parameter name: length".

Any ideas?

Hi TXXT!! We really appreciate your effort with this program!! I would like to ask you if there is anyway to print the check table (after program scans to indicate things you have or are missing), or to export it to Excel, to work with it by my side.

Hi, I've used your program a lot today and request the following....

Be able to edit both name and description in the xml. Even better to have all fields. This way you can have custom Xmls made easy.

If possible have two way renaming. At the moment you can rename roms and artwork from the xml but for systems like future pinball and WinUAEloader that change regularly it would be good to point the DB xml to an updated rom and update the xml to match that newer rom name.

Be able to add/copy/delete xml entries. This way you could add a blank entry and complete it and then save it.

On the renamer page have a totals number always present.eg.

Unmatched/total

Matched/total

Both/total

Great program!

Really nice utility. One feature I noticed missing is the option to move themes in the "Move unneeded roms or media to subfolder" options. Seems simple to add this feature.

Concerning Mame, I also used it to clear out the roms I do not have in my XML. Saved a LOT of space. But it also removes the bios roms (like midssio.zip) so when I tried to start, for example Journey, it fails, missing that file.

I can move the needed roms into another dir (mame\roms for example) and specify that folder in HyperLaunch as well. It works. But how can I find out which rom files are actually needed (bios or otherwise) so that I can move them?

IE, needed rom .zip files but not games.

Just implimented the most helpful feature i could find for simplify the boaring renaming process - Autofilter.

So, I just leave it here.

Still beta, so you are not advised to use it in production environment...

 

Other features, that i can recall:

Latest Hyperspin & Hyperlaunch / Rocket launcher support

Check / fix all HS/HL/RL paths in one place (useful when moving HS setup from one computer to another)

Genres / Favorites manager

Batch cd images converter

Batch compressed iso index creator for PCSX2

Excel export

Mame romset reducer based on internal Mame folders (Year, Device, Parent / Clone, Mechanical, CPU Clock, Rotation, Emulation status....)

 

Src is here: https://github.com/xttx/HyperspinChecker (outdated, but nobody whant it anyway)

Upfate the source is always welcome when someone release the source code. Closed source is the reason we have 20 incomplete hs/rl manager apps

I am trying to use this tool, but I have my roms in a different directory than my media files...My media is in the default location in Hyperspin, and my roms are in the emulator/console folder.  When I try to edit Hyper Spin System Settings ROM PATH, the "update Hyperspin INI is grayed out..

 

How can I set this up to scan my media and roms if they are in different directories?

Posted

- To change rom folder - click "options" button (top-right corner of "matcher" tab), Click "use custom folder". You can now manually enter or browse for folder for each type of media.

- In the latest version (my previous post) "Update Hyperspin INI" button is not greyed out any more.

- Source updated.

- I guess i should wait for this thing to be a little bit more stable, before uploading it to main app section.
