MAME roms will not launch in Hyperspin

[jareardy]

Hey all, I've had these roms for a while now working on 1.3.2 and when I updated to 1.3.3, none of them will launch in Hyperspin.  I test them in Hyperlaunch and they play fine.  But in the actual wheel mode, I get nothing.  Any help?

[jareardy]

If you go to downloads there is a Hyperspin 1.3.3 Full install link.

So why wont roms work anymore in Hyperspin?

[FrankyRizzo]

Yeah Jeremy is right.  Check settings.ini and your launcher path.

[jareardy]

No, I saw that rocketlaunch is now the newest program to use so I got rid of HyperlaunchHQ.  Was that what screwed it up?

[FrankyRizzo]

Make sure in rocketlauncher settings its pointing to HyperSpin as the Front End.  By default it will be Rocket Launcher.  Also go into settings folder in hyperspin and make sure settings.ini has the correct path.

Thanks guys, what should the ini settings read?  I set this up 4 years ago and don't really remember all the steps I did.

Hyperlaunch_Path=D:\HyperSpin\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe

 

you will see something like this... This is the path for your RocketLauncher.  However odds are yours will be different.

[jareardy]

I double checked and that file path is good, roms still wont load though in Hyperspin itself.

Can I copy/paste some log to show you how it is currently setup?

[FrankyRizzo]

do the games launch through rocket loader when you are not using hyper spin?  And you can post a log.  I think u need to have the option turned on in both hyper spin and rocket launcher.

They load fine in the Rocketloader and in Hyperlaunch.exe.  What log file would you like to see?

[jareardy]

Anybody else have any ideas?

Downloaded the Hyperspin 1.3.3 full install which came with hyperlaunch.exe, from reading the forums it's said that I needed to download rocketlauncher to get the new hyperspin build to work.

Jaready. If you go to the rocket launcher forums you will see you need to run a transition tool to get rocket launcher working with hyperspin 1.3

It's not just the main settings.ini that needs the path set, it's each systems ini too. Luckily the tool does all this.

Hs 1.4 only needs the main settings ini changed but that is in beta and only available to platinum members atm. So not relevant, but explains why there is some confusion about how to setup.

I would link to it but can't get the site to load up right now to paste link the exact address - sorry. Try later

You have a choice. You can use the HyperLaunch 2 that comes with HyperSpin 1.3.3, or you can use RocketLauncher which is available at rlauncher.com. If you choose to use HyperLaunch 2, then you don't need RocketLauncher and vice versa. At this point I would trash your HyperSpin install and start fresh, choosing the launch method you wish to use, and follow their instructions for configuration. You'll save yourself a ton of time troubleshooting and get a nice clean setup as well.
