HyperMarquee

here it is:

<menu>

<game name="Sega Master System" />

<game name="Sega Genesis" />

<game name="Sega CD" />

<game name="Sega 32X" />

<game name="Sega Game Gear" />

</menu>

using 0.4.2

well that look right, then all I can conclude is that your database doesnt have the information need to display what you are lookind for....

might be a issue how hypermarquee is setup? do you have the hyperlist set to your hyperspin database?

already corrected the typo in hyperlist path

I can also have a look, but before just want to make sure that, within your EDS setting, you have put the system param within double quotes. ["system"]. Since you have some spaces in your system name. Let me know.

Did some test with SEGA Master System and it is working fine for me.

Here are some screenshots to help as a visual.

same here, it is working fine for me as well

Ok, it works when I use Aces of aces, but the romname is Ace of aces (europe) as per hyperlist, so it doesn't detect it in the ini. The ini has it listed as Aces of Aces.

That would explain it, how do I get around this?

have your artwork match the romname

[zebow2002]

Hello,

My artwork is matching the romnames.

the data in the default sega mastersystem.ini isn't matching the hyperlist romnames.

Example:

Lastest Hyperlist SMS file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

etcetc

-<game image="a" index="true" name="Ace of Aces (Europe)">

<description>Ace of Aces (Europe)</description>

etcetc

artwork etc is no issue, works fine. As it's named correctly.

Now, Sega Master System.ini using latest hyperlaunch:

[Ace of Aces]

Publisher=SEGA Enterprises Ltd.

Developer=Artech

Released=1991

Systems=Amstrad CPC|Atari 7800|Atari 8-bit|Commodore 64|DOS|MSX|PC Booter|ZX Spectrum

Genre=Action|Simulation

Perspective=1st-Person Perspective

The names in the game info ini files are not the same as those in hyperlist, not for any of the sega systems, they are missing the USA or EUROPE part that is included in the hyperlist xml files and where my romsets are based on.

Are there other game info files available that match the hyperlist xmls or a software to change this quickly?

tnx

I have the latest gameinfo and work fine as is. it look just as same as you provided

[zebow2002]

When I change [ace of aces] in the sega master system.ini to [ace of aces (europe)] it runs fine.

So there is a difference.

Could you check your ini has the (europe) label behind it?

And if you hyperlist xml also showes ace of aces (europe).

Otherwise it's magic and not software.

tnx

mine is the same and still shows up

[zebow2002]

I'm using this in my EDS, perhaps there is my fault:

Are there any other variables I can use instead of "[game]", like goodname or game name?

there has to be somehting different.

[zebow2002]

WORKS:

Doesn't work:

[sevenseal]

yes it is based on database, which all the info pulled from... the from there; the romname is pull and used from gameinfo

Where do I set it to read it as you say it does, because it isn't right now.

I can't launch any game info as the rom files are different. Although they are synced to hyperlist xml.

What screenshots do you need from my settings, I really want this fixed

Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the support!

just need to match your roms with you hyperlist and thats all...

[zebow2002]

I'm sorry but I feel like I'm talking in circles.

My roms are synced to hyperlist.

the game info.ini files aren't...

the game info.ini files aren't...

they supposed to be...

the database uses filename...

and gameinfo uses romname....

hypermarquee get the romname from the hyperlist's filename

after it has the romname, it then pull the gameinfo text

[zebow2002]

Ok, good info.

So everything is as it should be and it isn't working, what can I check.

[sevenseal]

would you be interested in a teamviewer session

[zebow2002]

pm session waiting

tnx in advance

[zebow2002]

This is now partially fixed.

I had to redo the settings as they were created in an old version of Hypermarquee

I still have a mismatch when I use the actual filename that is synced to system.xml

in this case it needs ace of aces (europe) and it won't find the description. The gameinfo.ini needs "ace of aces" without europe.

[sevenseal]

This is now fixed.

I would like to thank sevenseal for the immense patience and amazing support for this amazing add-on!

thank you
