Is there a way to have a mp4 video loop?  Right now I can get the video file to play but it stops after playing once.  Thanks

Are you referring to Cycling Artwork and then choosing the length of the video for the interval?

This works ok but not all of the videos are the same length.  This way I have to choose the length of the shortest video. 

Is there another way?  Thanks!

Hi, So I got the 2nd monitor to work. Thank you. Great Software. I have a few issues. I can make the two monitors work but only when they are the 2 LCD screens that I have one is the main screen that I do all of my setups with that is HD and then the Marquee screen . I simply move the HM screen into place and leave it there. It seems to work although, I have not repeatedly started Hyperspin over and over to see that the HM stays on the marquee monitor .    

Now Today, I tried to setup my Arcade CRT ,  and my Stretched LCD . I have several problems. 

One when Hyperspin comes up on my CRT which is at 640x480 Resolution , I can't even see my HM to move it into place onto the Stretched LCD.  What I have been able to do is go to task manager and maximize HM and then it shows up on my CRT and then try to move it but it wont move on "Maximize" So I switch it to normal and it disappears. One issue might be that I have removed my Windows 7 desktop so that it is just black . I probably should not have done this so early before I setup my machine .   My monitor setups is

1. Stretched LCD monitor 

2. CRT Monitor , and this is the desktop monitor. (I don't know how to make this monitor 1 if that matters)

Another major problem is when I run Hyperspin and select a game , The game plays on my Stretched LCD Marquee monitor and not my CRT . I don't understand this.

. 

I am running EDS and it is running 

HM and LEDblinky , nothing else. 

Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Hi , Antos, I just received a 2nd monitor that is an LCD stretched 26". I am trying to get the software to display an image on the 2nd monitor. I currently am running 

Hyperspin latest version , I also have EDS but I have no idea how to set that up. 

on a I5 Processor

 

My 26 LCD is connected through DVI, and my CRT is split connected through VGA. 

 

16 Gb Ram

ATI 4550 card

Groovymame 

1st monitor is a 27 CRT

Can you help me setup? I followed your video tutorial . I have a saved setup that points to my Marquee images for each system but I do not see anything when I run HyperMarquee. 

Can anyone help? 

 

Thanks

Fixed. 

 

So I FIXED HM so that it would move to the LCD screen from the CRT although it is quite difficult to do. I then positioned it where i wanted and then clicked on File / Exit which then saves it into place? I exited out of HS and opened it up again and HM stuck to the LCD monitor like it should. I restarted a few times and it still stuck so that isFIXED. Hooray. 

Last Issue , When I try to open a MAME game it does not open the game on my CRT main monitor. It opens up on the LCD Marquee. I am running 

groovymame and using a ATI 4550 , and sharing that card to drive both monitors. Any ideas?

in groovy mame, you have to set the proper screen to display on, either 0 or 1...
not sure what your screen priority are.

another thing you should look into, if you use a launcher program as such as RL or HL you need config those correctly for the use of groovymame

Question:

When I close HyperMarquee after the configuration, where does it save the xml? I cant seem to get it to save the config file correctly, even if I do save as. Maybe because windows 10? I need a little help.

Thank you for the program.

Have a look in settings. It will save it with the name you have provided when you created it.

Which settings? Hyperspin settings folder?

Guess I did something wrong, there's no settings folder in there.

[Antos]

Try to create a new marquee and simply exit and see if it will create the folder with the file automatically..  I can't remember..

I tried that like 10 times. I created it and it worked.

[Antos]

Ok, first time I see that... I will remember it and see if something can be done in the future.

After many boneheaded stumbling's, I was able to get this set up...  It works exactly as I want it to, with one caveat... An error pops up stating "The path is not a legal form..;"  The odd thing is it all still works graphically as I like, just that the error shows up.  It only occurs when I select any system in Hyperspin.  If I just scroll through the different systems and don't select anything, I won't get that error.  Any ideas?

 

[Solved]  so apparently I missed entering the application path for HSFileWatcher in EDS.  Doh!  ALL is well.  Now I just need a new dope marquee monitor.

note: numscreen tell it to put game windows on how many screens

Aha . I guess Groovymame does not work correctly when set to numscreens 1 and HM is on one of the screens . Ok , I guess I'm going to try to not use HM for Mame and use it for everything else like When HS is running or Daphne , Atari 2600 etc .

If MAME is displaying on the wrong monitor, you simply have to tell it what monitor to output to. Note that you're modifying the wrong configuration setting. See below for correct settings. Also, "numscreens" should be "1" unless you want MAME to output to multiple monitors. And don't modify anything else under OSD PER-WINDOW VIDEO OPTIONS...leave them all set to defaults except for the "screen" option.

 

#
# OSD VIDEO OPTIONS
#
numscreens                1

#
# OSD PER-WINDOW VIDEO OPTIONS
#
screen                    \\.\DISPLAY2

Ok, Thanks ,So according to the creator of Groovymame, Groovymame doe not work well with numscreens 1 . So I am thinking I need to have Mame run the Marquees . Unless someone else has successfully used Groovymame   , with HM, and HS.  Thanks
