HyperMarquee

[Antos]

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.

A teamviewer session with sevenseal is always awesome.

As far I can tell , here are my suggestions,

- Make sure that you have provided full access to all files within EDS folder.

- Use Pipe as the IPC of choice.

- If your cheched the box launch on event 1, make sure that you are not calling event 1 several times. Unlikely, but just checking.

- Dont't be affraid to test within EDS fe based on HS log.

Plus, one tip, to remove the right botton corner handle, check out edit mode.

Please let me. know what cause your problem. But I can ensure you it is not a bug.

Cheers,

from what i can tell from the image is the pid is not set correctly either on hm side or eds side, could be both

Sorry guys been very busy with family this time of year. I will check on all that has been suggested As soon as I can I'll give it one last go then if I can't figure it out I will do a teamviewer session. Like to learn to help myself and others in the future. Thanks to you guys and Happy Holidays.

If you mean NamedPipe (PipeID), yes you are right, there are good chances.

 

That often happens when users duplicate a config file to save time (instead of starting from scratch) and rename the file without updating the NamePipeID under HyperMarquee Event Tab. To avoid this risky behavior from users, I have created HyperMarquee new version (0.4.9 not online yet) that allows to leave the HM Named Pipe ID blank. Without getting into technical details, by default, leaving it blank, HM will dynamically use the config file name as the named Pipe passed by EDS instead of hardcoding it in HM. No changes will be required under EDS and HM will be backward compatible.

Ok guys finally got some time to work on my HM/EDS I have sam PipeID on both HM and EDS

 

[Reefboi16]

BTW its all disabled I was testing some new artwork on my wheels and didn't want HM to open.

[Reefboi16]

Just double checked everything. Made sure all characters/spaces matched. Then launched them manually they worked fine then when I launched HS It did it again, but this time I noticed that it is only the system Marquees that are opening instances on top of instances. Once I go into a system and scroll through the games those close and re-open just fine without the "stacking" issue.

still was suggest to use just pipe as your ipc method...

you were told several time to reframe from selecting pipe (cli)... you are bound to have issue.

if you fail to listen from the support you have been given then you are on your own to deal with it. i will stop helpping from my position if you continue to do so

fyi, directly eds issue, from screenshot of setting

[Reefboi16]

Oops sorry that was the wrong screen shot that is from my old set up dunno how that happened

[Reefboi16]

I'm not home at the moment but they are all PIPE I selected the wrong picture upon upload.

Hello, any luck with your setup? Still having issues?

[jaywv1981]

I'm having a lot of trouble getting this to work correctly.  I have no problem with a static image..for example if I set my Artwork file to C:\Hyperspin\Media\MAME\Images\Wheel\nbajam.png it correctly shows the NBA Jam marquee.  However, if I use the wildcard and set it to C:\Hyperspin\Media\MAME\Images\Wheel\[Filename].png it shows nothing.  I have the database files set correctly.  Exactly how does it determine which game I currently have selected in Hyperspin?

[Reefboi16]

Change the field "MAME" to the [system] wildcard. Only other thing I would check is to see if your PIPE ID's match. Under the "events" tab in Hypermarquee should have the pipe id. That should match the PIPE ID in your EDS settings if you are using EDS. It would help for you to post some screen shots of your settings here. Start with the ARTWORK tab. If using EDS I would recommend going over to the EDS thread and posting your problem there along with some screen shots of that also. These guys will help you out for sure. I am a newbie to this but slowly getting the hang of it.

Antos, No bud I have not been able to get it to work properly. Going to take another look today been working long hours lately. I will post some screen shots of what I have going. I have already started from scratch once would hate to do it again but it helps as practice. Just find it very weird that my GAME marquees do not open on top of one another while the system marquees do.

well at this point, i would encourage a teamviewer session so second eye can look at your setup so the issue can be narrow down and troubleshoot all together, never know it might be multiple things for just one situation

are you using ahk, eds, or some other method to communicate with hypermarquee?

Hello,

 

Your software is great but of course there are some things wrong with my config dynamic display marquee.

 

I am trying to set up a library of standard arcade marquee in (1024x512) with a main area (1024x128) so that these can be marked adapted to any type of configution dynamic marquee screen (more info here: http://www.screenscraper.fr/)

 

Compared to my project, I met a little pretty simple problem to solve in terms of developement of hypermarquee. When I ask to display the marquee in "uniform fill", this one does not appear centered but aligned above! Will it be possible to add an artwork centering function in the next version of your software?

 

already thank you for your work and thank you in advance if you take my request into consideration!

Bonjour,

 

Votre logiciel est superbe mais bien sur il y a quelques trucs qui cloche avec ma config d'écran dynamique de marquee. 

 

Je suis en train de mettre en place une bibliothéque des marquee arcade normalisé en (1024x512) avec une zone principale de (1024x128) afin que ces marquee puisse s'adapté a tout type de configution d'écran de marquee dynamique (plus d'infos ici : http://www.screenscraper.fr/) 

 

Par rapport a mon projet, je rencontre un petit problème assez simple a résoudre au niveau de developement d'hypermarquee. Quand je demande d'afficher le marquee en mode "uniform fill", celui ci ne s'affiche pas centré mais aligné en haut ! Serez t-il possible d'ajouter une fonction de centrage d'artwork dans une prochaine version de votre logiciel ?

 

déjà merci  pour votre travail et d'avance merci si vous prenez ma requete en considération !

Salut, j'ai mis à ta disposition une nouvelle version 4.10. Peux-tu en faire l'essai et me donner tes impressions?

Superbe borne en passant!

So, a crazy thought ,I know, but has anyone tried a mini LED projector in the top of their cabinet, using rear projection screen material, instead of an LED monitor?  I wonder if it could work?  If you had the minimum throw distance, it would fill the screen, any shape or size...

its work, i know

[Antos]

The idea is very good, if you are seeking for a custom dimension. One thing consider is the native resolution (instead of the supported resolution) and the throw distance as you mentioned. If any users has experimented this, please share.

I been wanting to get this setup and working but for the life of me am lost. I installed HyperMarquee and EDS but when I run HyperSpin nothing happens other than HyperSpin running no marquee?

I do have ledblinky enabled in HS and pointing to Ledblinky in EDS folder which I renamed. I setup HM watching the video as an example for mame so not sure what else I am missing.

Before testing it with HS, test it with EDS front end by passing the required params using the gui. If you require assistance note that sevenseal is part of the HM team and provide awesome support when he has some spare time.

Let me know..

feel free to link your eds settings files and your hm setting here if you could please if not a screenshot of each would do

[Krakerman]

Here you go. I actually got the marquee to display only when testing it with the HyperSpinEventIntegrator. When I run HS nothing shows. If it matters I am using RocketLauncher with HS.
