Antos Posted May 8, 2015 Author Posted May 8, 2015 File Name: HyperMarquee File Submitter: Antos File Submitted: 08 May 2015 File Category: Add-Ons Credits: Antos Recently (December 2013), I noticed that LCDs 'Marquee' Display are more affordable than ever. My mind couldn't get over it since the day I saw a superb AOC q2963Pm UltraWide (21:9) below 400$ US on newegg.com. No doubt, my arcade cabinet has to be updated with this add in! But I need an application to manage this nice display. Why not contributing to the community and create an application to manage arcade marquees? Here is the first beta version after more hours of work than expected. Testers are welcome to bring comments and report bugs on the Hyperspin Web Site. Comments will certainly contribute to make this application better (some features are still very primitive). I have put a good amount of time, passion and fun developing it, and I hope that you will enjoy using it as much I enjoyed developing this. NEWS UPDATE - 2015/01/15 - The beta version v.0.4.0 is now available for download. (this is a beta evaluation version for testers only) Please send me your comments and impressions. (it is recommended to read the user guide first - then try, ask & comment) Short videos are available, see below. Thanks to all testers and partners! NB: HyperMarquee works best with Event Dispatch System (EDS). http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?32782-HyperSpin-Event-Dispatch-System-(EDS) New functionalities within V0.4.0; (same as Alpha Version 0.4.0 Revision G) * Now support Marquee transitions on game select using Events Dispatch System (EDS) - Video Transition.

sevenseal Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 looking into more of the shader.dll for hm, hopefully it with fixed all together
sevenseal Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 well just to let everyone know, antos had added the new shader.dll, its in the download section of hyperspin website in the 3rd party tab extract the file in the root folder of hypermarquee and override the existing one. then shaders should work again
zebow2002 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Hello, first of all, tnx Sevenseal for the support, helped me a lot. Update video, everything but the HS screen plays on the top monitor of my sega megatech cabinet. The only thing not working out is "descriptions" for non mame systems but that's WIP I heard. The other thing is the commercial won't stop when a system. looking forward to the new version

sevenseal Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Hi Guys, I am building a setup right now for the yet to be released beta version 0.4.3. It will be available shortly today! Please stay tuned, some bug fixes and new added features! antos. Just to informal everyone of antos progress, hypermarquee 0.4.3 is now up and running... it is currently located on the one drive link on the initial post of the thread...Thank antos for everything he does
Antos Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 Good news! HyperMarquee Beta Version 0.4.3 is now available for download in the HyperSpin download section. (Download -> HyperSpin -> 3rd Party Apps) This is a completed package for installation. Copy you settings.xml within the new settings folders. Hyper Marquee is backward compatible with previous version. Beta Testers are welcome. Special thanks to Sevenseal for some alpha tests and his unconditional support!! Cheers, Antos HyperMarquee & Event Dispatch System
zebow2002 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 In the new version, I noticed that in the artwork tab, the video volume control isn't working, I still keep getting video sound no matter how I shift it.
sevenseal Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Normally you have to move the volume to 100% back to 0% to mute it, it's a initial vlc thing
Antos Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 Can't reproduce the error from scratch... maybe you are using a previous config file? Does sevenseal or Marxkemp suggestion worked for you? If you can reproduce the error, please sent me the steps for me to fix this. Thanks guys! HyperMarquee & Event Dispatch System
marxkemp Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I copied the settings from 0.4.2 to 0.4.3 and had the same issue. Fixed it by turning the slider first up and then down
zebow2002 Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 This was indeed fixed by moving the slider, exiting and try again.
spotUP Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Huge thanks to Sevenseal for taking the time to sort me out via teamviewer!! I have one remaining issue, is it possible to overlay the hiscores over the marquee without the semi transparent black background?

dsync89 Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 I'm currently using HyperMarquee on two side monitor and the window position and size doesn't seemed to save whenever I exit and relaunch HyperSpin. Is there any additional steps I should do to remember the position?

MydknyteStyrm Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 I have finally set up my cabinet and marquee, but am having trouble getting HyperMarquee and EDS set up. I can switch the marquee easily via EDS by typing in the rom and system name (which I assume has to match the names set by Hyperspin and RL), and the marquee changes. I have a static image set as the first thing to open, and then the [game] [system] parameters as the 1st Alternate Artwork. It doesn't seem to change when i select a game. I have the opening set as 1,3,9 and the Close as 2,4,6,11. The other issue is when I exit Hyperspin, HyperMarquee is still open. How can I get it to close when I shut down HS? Thanks for any help!
