hi, I cant get the latest version of hyperxmlspin to load from within hyperspin. I have version 1.7.2 that was installed for a long time now, and it works great in hyperspin. So I put the new version in my folder and told hyperhq where the new exe file is and it wont launch it from hyperspin. outside of hyperspin it launches just fine. When I try to launch it from within the wheel, hyperspin just freezes up until I alt-tab or ctrl-alt-del and come back to it. when I launch in hyperspin and go to task manager its not listed as running, but when i launch it outside hyperspin it shows up in task manager. 

Just to see what would happen i told hyperhq to use the old exe again and it works inside hyperspin. But the new version still won't run. I've double checked the read me file, I just can't seem to get it to load up.

Running win7 x64

Also, no antivirus running

Thanks for the great program, and the help.

So I started using HyperXMLspin recently, setup took all of two minutes, pointed to RL, then pointed to HS. I did nothing else, and it seemed to work great!!

I just noticed (for example) it will not pull results for my N64 roms. If I pull the System to N64 and search 'a' I get 0 results. Other systems seem to work fine, especially MAME.

Trying to troubleshoot, any suggestions what I can look at? 

Update: Figured this out for anyone else having this issue. Turns out some of the XML files were not formatted correctly, believe it or not if the xml had the below (note the cloneof lines)

  <game name="007 - GoldenEye (USA)" index="true" image="0">
    <description>007 - GoldenEye (USA)</description>
    <cloneof>
    </cloneof>
    <crc>
    </crc>
    <manufacturer>Nintendo</manufacturer>
    <year>1997</year>
    <genre>Shooter</genre>
    <rating>ESRB - T (Teen)</rating>
    <enabled>Yes</enabled>
  </game>
 

OR

    <cloneof> </cloneof>
    <crc> </crc>

It would not pull the results into hyperxmlspin. Reformatting to the below works great!!!

    <cloneof></cloneof>
    <crc></crc>

    <cloneof />
    <crc />

I found a few bugs that i'd like you to fix if possible. I created a view with the search  "Zelda" and exported it to my main menu wheel. The media transferred over fine via link but when I launch a game it says it doesn't recognize the extension for the rom. The ones specifically are .zip roms. Is my INI set up correctly? Maybe I've done something wrong. I've noticed that some games will run but most don't. They run fine outside of the app, I use rocketlauncher for all my games. Note that if I change the ini file to use hyperlaunch=yes it will say that the game name (note it has @'s in the name) hasn't been set up in rocketlaunch and it doesn't know the exe, fade, or title screen to run the game.

How do you launch the games in the new version? looking forward to using this app to create a playlist wheel

It was determine that the setting for not launching from RocketLauncher are truest correct and I needed to add the extensions in the system name Inis to launch outside of RocketLauncher however I’d really like to run thinks through RocketLauncher from the main menu. What settings do I need to have for it to launch via RocketLauncher so that I get the bezels and all through the RocketLauncher set up that runs when running a normal game? When I update the settings system name ini to hyperlaunch=yes it errors out at the system isn’t set up under pclauncher which is confusing since it would be a console game

I've uploaded a new version that don't need anymore to be launched through hyperxmlspin : with tag system : <exe>%system%<exe> 

i've found a solution for games that have the same name across multiples systems they will be renamed with a space before game name.

Your HyperXMLspin XML will be more cleaned for sure !

To use this version you have to convert your old Hyperxmlspin lists into params/update/scan medias.

 

Version 1.8.0.5
+04/12/2018 - Info --> Launch games through Hyperspin with a non-converted HyperXMLspin list is possible.
+04/12/2018 - Added --> Update old HyperXMLspin lists (<exe></exe>)--> Into parameters/Update/scan medias.
             Old lists will be saved (with extention .bak). Old artworks , themes and videos will not be deleted or renamed.
             You have to do that yourself if you do not want to keep them on your HDD.(That is not compulsory , but your directory will be more cleaned  :-) )
+04/10/2018 - Added --> Xml lists are created with game tag <exe></exe> : no need anymore hyperxmlspin to decode game name before launch.
Version 1.8.0.4beta4
+04/08/2018 - Fixed --> Bugg : Variable not cleared after first search , cause sometimes no results .(Thanks to ninja2bceen)
Version 1.8.0.4beta3
+04/07/2018 - Fixed --> Bugg : Full launch of hyperxmlspin instead of just game launcher from a game from hyperxmlspin wheel.(Thanks to ninja2bceen)

I'm having a problem.

I created a "Tetris" wheel and it found roughly 75 games across many systems.

Well, when I go to launch a game, most of the games from most of the systems won't launch.  Sega Naomi, Philips CD-i, NDS, 3DS, etc, and they just sit there.  I press enter over and over and it just sits there on the theme and doesn't launch.  Other Tetris wheels from other systems, such as Mame, Nintendo, Sega Genesis, etc, launch fine. 

It's about 50/50 right now.

This is happening no matter which wheel I create.  Tetris is just an example.

If I go to the actual game on the actual wheel, it loads fine, with no problems.  They just won't load from the XMLSpin wheel for whatever reason.

Where should I look?

[ninja2bceen]

Can you post your hyperxmlspin log after selecting on that doesn’t work? My bet is your system ini setting file is not correct. I think you were saying mame system was working, be sure every system ini looks similar

Below is the log.

I upgraded to the latest version, then did a media update.  It converted my XML files to the new format and now I can launch from all systems, but again, about half of the systems give a new error.  Mame, for instance, worked before the update, but now, it gives a "rom not found" error.  I can launch it directly from the Mame wheel in HS, though.  Several other systems are the same way, but some work fine.

So it's either this, where half the systems say the rom isn't found, but do "attempt" to load, or go back to the previous version and have half the systems just not respond and not even try to load.  It's different systems that work on each version, though.

Ninja, remember, I was on this version before switching to your version, and we had this problem and tried "Everything" to get it to work and couldn't figure it out.

If I convert the databases back to the old version and reinstall your version (I don't know which version you're using, but apparently it's not the newest) then Mame will work, but other systems will just sit there and not attempt to load.

It's a catch 22.

[jevansoh]

The error is Rom not found, no valid rom extensions or something like that, btw.

[jevansoh]

Here's another log.

This time I just deleted the Tetris DB that was converted and created a new one.

Now about 75% of the systems will load, but again, the other 25% give a no rom found in any rom path with any valid extension error.

Here's the funny thing.  Mame doesn't work, but "Favorite" which is a DB I created of my favorite Mame Games DOES work!  They're the same games!  Weird.

Anyway, here's the latest log...

On the Tetris wheel, which game/system is busted and what does the error say?

Several systems don't work.  They all give the same error.  Mame is one example of a system that doesn't work.  It says something to the effect of Rom not found, no valid rom path found in any extensions, then lists all the extensions...

[r0man0]

hi could you share your converted tetris.xml ?

[jevansoh]

Here are all three Tetris files.  The original one is named bak, the converted one is named converted, and the new one I made is Tetris.xml.

Thanks!

Cannot find rom in any rom path provided with any rom extension...That's the exact message.  Then it lists the path to my roms, which is correct, and also lists all the extensions.  That's the exact error message, BTW.

[r0man0]

Some of your tetris games come from a wheel called "favorite" , i think that your wheel favorite is not a dedicated emulator but an hyperxmlspin wheel, so it's not recognized by hyperspin/rocketlauncher all the games with tag <exe>favorites</exe> will have an error ...that's because your tetris search results have included your favorite wheel games....

[jevansoh]

No, the favorite games actually work!  They work fine!  It's not a HyperXMLspin wheel, btw.  It's a wheel I created manually.

[jevansoh]

Thanks for responding so quickly.  Hopefully we'll figure this out.

[r0man0]

ok you have created a favorite wheel yourself with game tag <exe> ? so results have been added to your previous old search because old hyperxmlspin doesn't recognize this game tag and add this wheel as an emulator , that is not an emulator but an hyperxmlspin extension that allows lists across multiple systems.

for exemple : If you made search again for tetris games , with the new hyperxmlspin app , you will not have favorite wheel games added to results. because new hyperxmlspin skip lists with game tag <exe>, to prevent doubles

[jevansoh]

No, I didn't do that.  I made a wheel in HyperSpin called "Favorite."  It's just like any other wheel.  It doesn't have any thing to do with XMLspin.  It's just a regular wheel like any other, called Favorite.

[jevansoh]

BTW, favorite works in all three versions of the XML.  Again, though, Favorite was created a year ago or so as a regular wheel and has nothing to do with XMLspin.
