Hyperlaunch feature is outstanding. Told you this was going to be awesome!

[horseyhorsey]

Cool cheers.

How have you got on with the pdf options?

[potts43]

Not tried yet doing bezels but will try to test soon mate!

[horseyhorsey]

K no worries. The starting screen of bezel edit is too small?

[potts43]

No prob found u can drag it

[brownvim]

The settings menu doesn't show up for me, i want to change the directory it scans as its not picking up anything. any idea what could be wrong? im guessing im missing something?

Delete the config file

[brownvim]

doesnt work, i deleted HLM-Check.exe.config and its still picking up my systems but not picking up videos etc.

within that config file it hasnt got the directories i picked at initial launch so im guessing the settings are kept somewhere else or within the app.

[potts43]

Make sure HyperHQ has the settings for vids in each wheel

[brownvim]

yep all the ini files have the video settings. "hyperspin checker" the other minting app i use picks up the videos fine.

It reads your hyperspin databases to scan the hyperlaunch media folders. Don't expect it to show videos from your hyperspin folder.

Hyperlaunch\Media\Videos\SystemName

[brownvim]

Ah I see, thanks

Hyperlaunch\Media\Videos\SystemName

What is the video column for then? Confused about that.

[horseyhorsey]

You store videos for game here, like advertisments , gameplay, reviews etc. Then accessed inside hyperpause.

Used prog a lot today. Very good!

[horseyhorsey]

Cool, remember if you spot any errors or something could be better let us know.

Absolutely ! The only thing I have found is when I rename a bezel and then try to bezel edit I sometimes get a jit error as if it's looking for the original named png.

[horseyhorsey]

Thanks, maybe it didn't refresh the new filename properly.

You had probably worked out that after you drag a new bezel in, if you change the name Bezel in textbox to (for example) Main they come out like:

Bezel - Main.png

I personally would like it to default to:

Bezel_romname.png

Background_romname.png

Etc

Bezel_romname.png

Background_romname.png

Etc

Do they even work like that?

Bezel1

Bezel2 doesn't even pick up. You'll find that they're generally named:

Bezel

Bezel - *

[potts43]

Mine most certainly do. The Bezel name or background etc has to begin with that. It is what HL looks for. If there is more than one in the folder it selects one at random and if you have a key set up you can change them on the fly and go through them sequentially.

In HL media/mame/bezel/

in a game named folder "pacman"

You could have...

Background_pacman1.png

Background_pacman2.png

Bezel_pacman1.png

Bezel_pacman2.png

Instruction cards are fixed but HL would randomly select the above on each launch! Nice feature but would be better if you could still select a default for that game rom but don't have this option. Just random

Tip

One plus is if you create a Full screen res transparent Bezel you can use this to have your game as big as it will go without turning off bezel first. Just press the swap bezel button during the game and it goes through each one until it gets this one - resizing the game for each one automatically.

Thanks for sorting that out, it's a great feature.

No probs I learn something new everyday with this lot! Lol

[horseyhorsey]

Ok, they work with an underscore. They didn't with a straight digit after the bezel name.

I'll leave it as it is , sorry, but to me makes more sense with naming like this:

Bezel - SP - Samus Red & Orange - manson976

Bezel - CPCMonitor - Horse

Bezel - full handheld

I think that leaves a good starting prefix, bezel info & the author.

With the specific game bezels however that could be changed to underscore. And let this way fill out the romname for you.
