PC Launcher not working

[micahlee]

Hello,

 

I am using RocketLauncher, and HyperSpin v1.3 and my PC Games will not start. I just started adding them, so I haven't actually started using them in hyperspin, only in RL.

 

I set up my Emulator to be a virtual emulator, with PCLauncher as the module.

 

When I add a PC Game, I do it through Modules->PCLauncher.ahk->edit system specific module settings.

From here I simply link the application (exe) and try to launch the game from here.

 

When I launch the game I get a message that RocketLauncher could not find an Emu_Path for PC Launcher in either of these two files: ...\Emulators.ini

System Specific Module Settings? I don't think I've ever used that for anything. I click on "Edit Global Module Settings", then click on the green + to add a game from my database, double click the game, then add the path to its executable (for non-Steam games that is)

What is your PC system called and do your paths (databases, media etc...) match to that name?

[micahlee]

I have tried both ways, and they both produce the same error.

 

The paths do match correctly. All my other emulators work find, it's only PC Games

[Metalzoic]

Only non Steam PC games? If you're sure all paths are right, your PC Launcher system name matches, you have PCLauncher set up globally, database is right then I don't know.

Maybe Rocketlauncher handles PC games differently than HyperlaunchHQ. In HQ you don't even set a "rom" path for PC games. What do you have in that folder that the error is asking you about?

[micahlee]

I didn't place anything in there, it's the automatically generated files. 

 

emulators.ini contains this: 

 

[ROMS]

Default_Emulator=PC Launcher

Rom_Path=

 

Other files are Bezel.ini, Games.ini, Pause.ini, RocketLauncher.ini

[Metalzoic]

Hmmm. I'm using HLHQ not RL, but in my Hyperspin/HyperlaunchHQ/Settings folder I only have HyperlaunchHQ.ini and FrontEnds.ini and I've never touched them.

Since it's looking for a rom path maybe you accidentally enabled a rom path somewhere. Try going into your Hyperspin/Settings folder and find the .ini for whatever you named your PC system (mine is simply names PC Games for both Steam and non-Steam games) open it and make sure UseRomPath isn't set to true instead of false.

Other than that I'm a super noob and have no idea. Good luck!

EDIT: How do you have it set in HyperHQ? Did you add a rom path there or click any of the rom path buttons?

[micahlee]

No there are no rom paths. This also prevents me from setting up Taito Type X games as well. Hopefully someone can help me

first off why would you place Hyerspin in your program folders?  your PC will place security restrictions on any program you install in your program files.

 

 

second.

you do not set up any emulators for any of the PC games.  this is why you are getting an error of game not found in your Emu_Path 

 

 

 

 

as mentioned go to your Global emulators tab

and make your PC launcher a virtual emulator

 

go to your PC Games system 

make your default emulator  -->  PC launcher [Global]

 

click on your Games tab

do a system audit

all your PC games will be red(report as missing).   their is no emulator path or rom extension.

your PC games will ALWAYS be reported as missing.

 

 

ignore that fact and run all your emulators

you will generate  some type of missing game/rom/path error.

 

when you generate this error; Rocketlauncher will make an entry of the game to your PClauncher.ini file.

 

Open your PClauncher.ini file

found here --> RocketLauncher\Modules\PCLauncher\PCLauncher.ini

 

go down the list  you should find your game in the list

 

[YOUR GAME NAME]

Application=

 

 

 

after you find the game add the full path to your exe.  Make sure to included the extension of the game.

example

 

[YOUR GAME NAME]

Application=C:\Program files\Your Game Name.exe 

 

 

 

 

launch game again.  with he path added  to the INI; you should be able to start your game.

 

depending on the game you might need to add more info, this needs to be handled on a game by game basis.

 

[Example]

Application=

AppWaitExe=

DiscImage=

SteamID=

OriginGame=

Hi,

I am having the same issue. When I load the mame game from Hyper HQ it crashes the emulator mame.

If I load the game from MAME directly everything runs fine.

What is the issue.

 

Thanks,

Hi I tried the above, and RL still gives me the same error

[micahlee]

I found the answer in the rocket launcher forums.

 

You need to set skip emu and rom checks in the settings for that system.

Is that something specific to the new RL? I don't remember having to do that at all in Hyperlaunch HQ.

This is exactly why I'm leery of updating to Rocketlauncher... Little changes that may Bork up my perfectly running PC games.

I guess so! I never had to do it in HyperLaunch HQ either.

 

Apparently a few other people had the problem because there were a few posts I found about it
