HyperMarquee

[sevenseal]

trying to make a default theme for hypermarquee to share as a default for everyone... theming is a nightmare lol

[condemnedcad]

both

have you tried any other interesting ideas out, i have hitotext showing in HS, and made a HM for it calling on the same .exe.

never got it to show.

Very Happy with EDS and Hypermarquee though, makes hyperspin fun again when you can come up with new ways to enhance the experience. More people should try it out!!

[sevenseal]

yes indeed... well its an open box and you can do alot with this, even start this a new frontend just need something to contain items to select and send pipe or cli to eds...

Quick question, as i see you have the rating showing up, am i doing it right when i point to hyperlaunch/data/gameinfo?

and use [rating]?

what do you use to call your rating images from?

[sevenseal]

go to artwork section have it point to your rating artwork after you have setup you gameinfo and hyperlist xml, it will read off you gameinfo send info the [rating] wildcard to be used in the artwork... in order to use it that way you have to make a new setting in hypermarquee and layer the image where you want it to be

you have to make some records of high scores and recorded in the game, only certain games are implemented to be used with hitotext, not all games work with it. anpther thing is that you have to enable mame to produce hiscore.dat inorder for all this to work which require a complied mame that has the patch to make it

Just wanted to jump into the thread after years of inactivity to say that I am planning on doing this as well. I have a request for quote in to an AliBaba seller about one of their "Bar" style LCDs. I'd like the cost to be somewhat low, but I have a feeling it won't be.

Here's the seller if anyone is interested: http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Stretched-Bar-LCD-Monitor_143883291.html

I am looking at the 18.5" 1/3 style one since I intend to build a bartop with a 20.1" 4:3 LCD from Dell. No idea what the components will be for the computer build though. Should be fun!

Thanks for the great work on this!

I Sent You a message

Maybe i didn't say it right?

HiToText is working fine displaying inside Hyperspin, so i know i'm setup that way.

My issue is HiToText in Hypermarquee, i've set my hypermarquee to HiToText&pointed to the correct folders, used the correct wildcards in gameinfo, in EDS is it a parameter i'm missing?

EX:false Mame_HiToText_ "[game]" "[system]"

[sevenseal]

in eds did you set the application to HyperMarquee.exe.. I know it is displayed as hitotext in eds.

[sevenseal]

looking at that is a little misleading, It got me at first when I was setting it up for the first time for that option

[condemnedcad]

yes i call it to hypermarquee in eds then the event is hitotext-

trying to figure out where i went wrong, either HM or EDS, or Both?

[sevenseal]

mind sharing you setting for hitotext in hypermarquee and eds setting on whole line of hitotext portion ?

[condemnedcad]

OK, now i got it, it was EDS- had [game] only as parameter and

changed to "[game]" "[system]"

now if i can just figure out the rating image- checked on that and matched image.png name to gameinfo/.ini's rating and they do in fact match. still comes up blank but i'll keep testing as that will be one of the last things i need.

Have you figured out when to use [event] in EDS parameters, i know that shows by default when something new is added, but i never leave it in.

[condemnedcad]

I've made a chatroom for those on right now that want to help others setup hypermarquee

[sevenseal]

nope remove it in eds,

false (name of hypermarquee setting) "[game]" "[system]"

parameter example:

false Mame_hyperspin-Artwork "[game]" "[system]"

pipeid should match the same name as hypermarquee setting label

Is it possible to just run HyperMarquee with just MAME only? I use Mala for a frontend and would like Hypermarquee to show the marquee of the game I just selected. Possible or not?

Chappie

[sevenseal]

yes, its require you to setup EDS, place MAME as the system filter you scroll to left enough you will see it, place it there

[Chappie]

yes, its require you to setup EDS, place MAME as the system filter you scroll to left enough you will see it, place it there

Ok so what I take away from that is HyperMarquee.exe false Mame-Image "Galaga" "Mame"

Is that correct?? So the $5 question is can the name be a wildcard that is determined when selecting it in Mame? Or do I have to build a marquee for every game I play? Do I map to the mame.xml and mame.ini in the setup paths? Also, if I have to build each marquee is the name of the game used or the rom name? Thanks for the reply. (Maybe you answered that a few posts above..sorry..saw it afterwards.)

[sevenseal]

you can leave the wild cards... you move further than that... there a column for system filter to trigger only, its out of sight so you would have to that secrion and add mame into the blank area

Hello,

EDS is a good tool to test your FE applications. You can test your Hyper Marquee setup under several options. Now, there is no video for HM yet, but I invite you to watch the EDS video and, at the least, read the user guide when you have a chance.

Now, here is a screenshot example of EDS with some HM parameters.

As sevenseal previously well mentioned, EDS & HM are completely dynamic. They are wild card parameter based systems. To launch mame marquees only (already configured by you), just type mame keyword under the column 'System Filter'. Again, I invite you to read docs for more possibilities.

Please report any bugs or improvements idea. Note that those apps are Beta version for testers only. It is expected to have a stable versions for both apps relatively soon.

Thanks for testing! Cheers.

I have version 0.4.0...not sure I see that screenshot like you have..is that 0.3.9??
