imagebuff Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Just getting started with HM.. Love it. I'm using the latest beta with Win7 64bit. A single instance of HM runs fine. I'm able to display mame marquees. When I try to manually start a 2nd instance of HM by simply clicking on the executable it crashes. Anything I need to be doing differently?

imagebuff Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 what is the second instance? do you have .net framework 4.5.1 or above install? Yes, I have .net framework 4.5.2 installed. The 2nd instance is just the second HM window. I can launch HM by clicking on the .exe and I get a single window which works fine. When I try to then launch another HM window (2nd instance) by clicking on the .exe it crashes. Per the manual I should be able to have multiple HM windows with different content running at the same time, correct? I only can launch one. I hope I'm doing something wrong here and there is something special I need to do to have multiple concurrent HM windows.

I hope I'm doing something wrong here and there is something special I need to do to have multiple concurrent HM windows. I am doing test right now, I believe that something append with I compiled HM under Windows 10. I understand that you may not be able to run 2 instances by clicking the HM.exe, fear not . I will look at this, although, that is not a real problem for you. Please edit each instances 1 at the time and run them all together using EDS. This will work perfectly well. I will look a the 'bug' this week end. Quick question, when you say, it crashes, do you mean it do not launch .exe the second time or Windows throw an error at you? Please provide a screenshot if so. Thanks, let me know. HyperMarquee & Event Dispatch System

To my understanding, he is not even able to reach that point. As soon as he clicking on the exe, nothing shows up... HyperMarquee & Event Dispatch System
imagebuff Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 . Quick question, when you say, it crashes, do you mean it do not launch .exe the second time or Windows throw an error at you? Please provide a screenshot if so. Thanks, let me know. It crashes soon after clicking on the .exe. No HM interface or window whatsoever. The crash message that pops up is attached to message #730.

Reefboi16 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Something very strange happened today. I had everything set up and working finally. Was playing a couple games then shut down the cab to go do some holiday shopping came back and wen launched the Marquee dedicated to my videos would not open. All the other marquee instances opened. So I went backwards, first i tried to launch the marquee by loading my MAME-Marquee_Artwork-video through the Hypermarquee.exe and it would not open. The other marquees would. Then i went to EDS and typed in 3,galaga,MAME and hit try and would not open but the rest would. Any idea where i could start to fix the issue?
Reefboi16 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Could not figure it out so just deleted my previous XML and started over. All good now. For some reason the XML was 0MB, I do not understand why that happened never touched it but its good now.

Reefboi16 Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Any way to get my marquee to not keep opening one on top of another? I have already tried installing HM and EDS freshly with no luck. It's only the marquee doing it. Video,game info, and other art does not do this.

Reefboi16 Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Yes it is. Should I move over to Eds thread? I believe all my HM settings are good because everything opens fine it's the stacking that messes it up.
sevenseal Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Yes it is. Should I move over to Eds thread?

Reefboi16 Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Ok so here it is. As you see the Atari marquee is opening over the supernintendo marquee. Behind the SNES marquee there are several others. They keep opening when it gets to a certain number everything starts acting funny they never close, even if I select the CBR.
