badhemi Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Hi badhemi, I just see in your hyperspin setting that you use for amstrad cpc the Caprice32 core but can't find it in retroarch. Where did you find it. Thanks. it was an old retroarch apk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouteur Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 So, i can't use it with the lasted version of retroarch ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 So, i can't use it with the lasted version of retroarch ? You can't download the core. I expect you could give it a shot if you can get the core. Badhemi, do you have access to your cores to extract them? RetroArch cores are only held for a short time on the buildbot.

I got my self a Nvidia Shield didnt know I had to install al those things my self gggrrrr and there is no tutorials in Dutch so its very hard for me greetings from the Netherlands I understand now that roms are the game it self pff feel so stupid. So I used this tutorial and put everything on a usb stick and now hyperspin does start up jippieeeee but now it says ettempting launch missing rom. Is the something wrong with the roms do I have to do something with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Missing rom error is common, there should be plenty of comments in this forum, try a search of the error message. Briefly. 1. Your ROM names must exactly match the gamenames in the XML database file. (Located in databases folder under the name of your system) 2. The file extensions of your ROM files must be entered correctly in your settings file for that system(.ini file) seperated by comma. (Cue,bin,zip,7z etc..) Zip file roms are not compatible with everything though. I keep most things unzipped whee I can 3. The biggest trip up is the rompath= entry in your settings ini for the specific system. You need to make sure that is all correct to the location of you roms. (Hard to know what yours is) again there is plenty on here about that. Check the recent thread about Running Hyperspin from NAS drive. Don't feel stupid man I was in the same boat not so long ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckenzie67 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Yes did it, I can see all the games in Retroarch now, is it normal I have to play them in Retroarch before I can play them in Hyperspin? And I have 2 isue's now, in my screen wen I play there is a print of a joystick, is this normal or can I take it away some how? And second isue is that when I click on run to play a game in retroarch it ask me what the core is that I want to use, if I click on the wrong one the game wont work. Its gonna take a long time to go true all the options for all the games so I guess I do something wrong? Thanks for all the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epayson85 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 FYI you can add a filter in the settings ini for each emulator to only show roms you have. After setting this, if you don't see roms you know you have then you will know they aren't named correctly. Also Android is far more sensitive with naming than windows. So even if it shows up in Windows it may not on Android. For example... sonic and knuckles. It uses "&" on all standard hyperlist databases and Android will not read it. Had to change media, database, and Tom name to get it showing up. But yea you absolutely don't need to launch each game in retroarch first. Heck you don't even need to add or scan the directories.

sandog Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I have a nvidia sheild tv that i'm trying to use my working windows setup I have added the files to my setup but I cant get the roms to load. I have hyperspin starting up fine the game videos will play and i can get to the point to select the roms fine After looking at my windows set up I think the path to the rom is setup a little different then a stock windows set up. I have tried to change the path in the android setup to match the windows but no luck yet. Here is the path to my windows setup to the roms.D:\Arcade\Nintendo Entertainment System\roms. Would it be better to change the windows set or change the android set up to get everything to work on both setups. Also what files need to be changed Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 You need to create a 2nd set of settings files specifically for android. To combine this with your windows setup add a folder to your Hyperspin folder called Settings_Android See Here for more detail Place all your settings files in there and adjust your rom path to match where your roms are stored on your Shield, USB, external drive or networked drive. BTW where are your android roms stored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatman84 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I don't have a great deal of experience outside of my own setup. Is this one you have built yourself or accuired? I'm assuming you are plugging this drive directly into your shield? (Strange because I thought Hyperspin android would only find a Hyperspin folder but yours is called Arcade! Anyway you say it's working) I think your rompath should have / instread of \ Try changing one of your Settings_Android ini's to match Like this Arcade/Nintendo Entertainment System/roms Just focus on one system make sure your roms for Nes are not zipped. Should be .nes Also I have seen full rompaths used with external drives(I don't use one) Look in Es file explorer for the ID of your drive your rompath will be something like this if so Storage/hsbdboajbev8263617/Arcade/Nintendo Entertainment System/roms Please report back its good to know what does and doesn't work.

sandog Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 how does the path start off when using a ext hdd on the sheild? /storage/sdcard0/? /storage/usb/? or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 If it can see your roms within your Hyperspin folder then should Have no start. Just the 1st folder that's in Hyperspin folder. (No dots, no slashes) In your case Nintendo Entertainment System/roms After that use Es file explorer to look in you shield folders for the Storage folder In there will be your storage folders. Or if you have retroarch installed I used it to browse to my roms and it displayed the full path to my roms as it went. I have a shield pro and roms are on the internal drive. My path is Storage/emulated/0/ROMs/Nintendo Entertainment System I have not tested any others but as I say yours may come up with a long ID number. Have a browse through the forum again there are plenty of real life examples in the threads. Probably this thread also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
