HyperMarquee

You can disable attract mode by opening HyperHQ, selecting the Main Settings -> Attract tab, and setting Attract Mode to disabled.

So will that avoid the memory leak?

yes, agent47 is right on point

Final conclusion is to disable until they solve this issue. Is a kind of waste

I will do more test on my side, but so far I am not experiencing that issue.

Put in attract mode and and leave it alone

Couple of mins after marquee is gone will need to exit HS to bring it back.

After 30 minutes of testing, my setup doesn't cause any problems in HS Attract Mode....

HS 1.4.15

HHQ - (this has no impact)

Hi. I'm using HS 1.3 and the full releases (not betas) of HM and EDS. I can get marquees to display in the game wheels but not the main system wheel. Upgrading to HS 1.4 made marquees also display in the system wheel, but going to 1.4 screwed everything else up (rocketlauncher issues, etc.), so I had to go back to HS 1.3. Is there a way to make the system wheel marquees work with HS 1.3?

you must setup filewatcher that came with eds

[mamefan]

you must setup filewatcher that came with eds

 

I don't know how. I don't see HSFilewatcher anywhere as a file or folder. I'm using EDS 0.7.5 and HM 0.4.7 full packages and have looked in their folders.

[sevenseal]

please look where you downloaded EDS and please grab the latest eds as well which is 0.7.9, also if you need further support make your discussion in the eds thread please

Hello and let me start off my first post with a big thank you! HM is incredible and I've just discovered the possibilities. I'm running my marquee on multiple led modules and so far I've managed to get it operational. One bit of trouble I'm having is with themes. How do you display them? Can I use the themes from HS? I have all my artwork displaying, but I'm obviously missing something. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks again.

One other I'm having is the mouse pointer is snapping back on top of the HM window causing the display to flash the operating window every time the marquee changes. What else am I doing wrong?

[scoodidabop]

So I've been diving into trying to make Hyperspin more stable over long periods of time.  There's that known bug you guys talked about that causes Hyperspin to crash after a while if you leave it alone.  It's related to Flash and Hyperspin's dependence on .swf and Flash files.  I tested deleting all of the .flv flash transitions to gain more stability.  It helped a little but Hyperspin will still crash after a while since all the themes and such use Flash.  

 

At any rate it seems that HyperMarquee also gets effected by crash.  While testing HyperMarquee I found that the Hyperspin Flash Crash basically killed EDS and my UserSettings.xml file in EDS.   I reinstalled everything and turned off "Attract Mode" to see if things would remain stable.  Well, I'm happy to report that HyperSpin has been running for over 18 hours with no crash along with HyperMarquee.  With Attract Mode off the menu stays on only one game of course so there's a little bit of a tradeoff.  I'll take stability over the Attract Mode though.  I'll continue testing this over the next few days and report back.

Had that issue myself at one point.  I think File Watcher was causing the problem.

Just to say that I am doing overtime at work lately, which keeps me very busy. I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks for your patience.

 

- Ps: I will update EDS to let users choose if they want or don't want to sent the mouse at the left corner when starting. This is to avoid HS loosing focus when using multiple display. According to my finding, HS does a mouse click on left top most display at starting... Not sure why, but that cause HS loosing focus if an application is there... Anyway, I will give you the option, just a simple update.

Thanks Antos!!!

Hey guys I have been having trouble with HS losing focus when using HM, now I know Antos has mentioned several times that it is to do with the mouse click sent by HS and a fix is to put HS screen top left (0,0). 

For me tho that fix doesn't work and i decided to test every single possible way i could to diagnose the problem. Even using a single screen but no matter what i do HS always loses focus. 

When HM is active and launches with HS, HS always loses focus when exiting an emulator but only on the first exit. If i play another game after that and exit its usually ok. 

Its infuriated me for about a week now and all i can do is send a mouse click to the frontend after the first exit. (or wait for Antos to fix HM) not the end of the world but when my own findings don't jibe with Antos' explanation it got me going into test mode.

Any other info on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

I am not running anything extra (that i know) Yes it lose focus after i exit the first game i run, after that it does not lose focus. 

I just did some testing on a few systems removing bezels and fades and i got mixed results. 

MAME - Success (Unplayable small screen size) - HS kept focus (without bezel game window was tiny) 

Dreamcast - Fail - lost focus and forced mouse cursor to marquee screen.

TurboGrafx - Fail - lost focus

Anything else I could test / Try? 

Thanks.

what emulator are you using?, using windows mode in emulator can solve this, fullscreen mode will cause what you have
