Aorin Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hi and thanks for reading this. I was looking for a thread that Aletterfromthelostdays started last year and I found it here > http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/topic/6568-wip-all-arcade-systems-under-one-wheel-genre-subwheel-trick/#entry120853 Problem is his folder doesn't exist anymore at FTP. I want to have all arcade classics wheels under a main Arcarde wheel using his method or other that does this trick. Can anyone help me finding what I need to sort it out? Thanks Aorin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aorin Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yeah I'd like to. About multiple sub wheels for systems, man, you don't know how much I wait for that. Do you think it will be added soon? If so I can wait for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THK Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 it's called MAME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aorin Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Well, MAME does his job in most systems, but I don't think it does for Taito Type X2, Sega Naomi, Sammy Atomiswave, some others. If we believe MAME stand for all Arcade systems, I should probably think that MESS does the rest for non-arcade systems, and this site > http://consume.retrogames.com/ proves that MESS lose for Retroarch, say, for pretty much all main console emulators. But, I though my intentions of dividing Arcade systems by manufacturer were good, MAME is a MESS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aorin Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Just do a separate wheel entry for manufactures if that is what you want, that is what most people do. Thanks Jeremy I'll try that, I'll have to sort the other systems that MAME don't emulate, as taito type X, Sega Naomi, Sammy Atomiswave, Sega Model 2 and 3 probably are better emulated with standalone emulators as well.

damageinc86 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yeah i'd do separate manufacturers. I have it all in my ftp folder. Only adds like 5 or so entries to the main wheel, and it really cuts down on the amount of games per menu item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aorin Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Damage, what exactly are your separated systems, and, is there a easy way to add Sega model 2,3, Taito, Naomi, Atomiswave? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aorin Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 OK I'll try that, thanks Jeremy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 No mine are the main ones, it's all in my ftp folder, or PM me. Taito, Atari, Data East, Sega, Irem, etc., etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THK Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 You can set up different systems with emulators, but just add 1 to the main wheel. Use mf xml's like suggested would make things easier to navigate. You can point games in an xml to use the settings of a ddifferent system and thus emulator.

SubZero Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I have taito type x,sega model 2 and 3 games added to my mame wheel for years now, but can't remember how i did it. was an easy thing though. think giga knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcadeBliss Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 As a suggestion, make one XML that includes everything on one wheel and call it your Arcade Wheel, create seperate genre XML based upon the manufacturers and have the wheel start on your favorites. This way, I you enter your arcade wheel and select the genre (manufacturers) when needed. Your favorite wheel will just have what you choose to be the best from all wheels. In case separate emulators should be used to run the games, either use the <exe> tag or alternate emulators function from RL. I use this method because my main menu wheel only shows my removable panels as wheels. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja2bceen Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 There is a third party app found on the forums specifically for this. You can search or create a wheel by class so you can have multiple systems in the same wheel and create genres like handhelds. The third party app is hyperxml Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aorin Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Thanks guys for your tips. Just to make sure, I read something that using categories, let's say, if I have subwheels for Sega Model 2 and 3, Taito Type X and others as categories, they won't have videos or themes? I'll take a look at this hyperxml, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aorin Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 I see that HyperXml is meant for a searching purpose, or does it have features to make a system with subwheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potts43 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I see that HyperXml is meant for a searching purpose, or does it have features to make a system with subwheels?It creates a system "hyperxmlspin" on the main menu. Then everytime you create a search you can save the results or some of the results to a subwheel of your choice. It copies the media over too. It's also editable after the search too. The latest version works great with Xbox controllers on the search page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aorin Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 It would take some time for me. I'm planning to use Sega model 2 and 3, Taito Type X, NEO GEO MVS, Capcom, Midway etc. Probably my best bet is waiting for HS to support system subwheels. Thanks for your help!

No it won't....you can search just in MAME by manufacturer and save that. Then search for a second manufacturer and add the results to the first or save that as a wheel...I reckon 1 hour and all done!That's just a brief example. It is really flexible.
