If I could figure out how to get in the inner circle of the HS / HL programmers then I could get these worked out ahead of time. Appreciate you guys being patient. I think we might be pretty stable now.

Awesome work but I have found a bug you may want to know about.

I could not get this to work until I figured it out. I am running Windows vista 32bit, Hyperlaunch 2.25c and in the log.txt file I am getting this:

(You will notice it is cutting off the first letter of the emulator name, any ideas?)

Marquee CommandLine: "d:\HYPERS~2\HYPERS~3\HyperLaunch.exe" "Nintendo Entertainment System" "Legend of Zelda, The (USA) (Rev A)"

Marquee Emulator: intendo Entertainment System

Marquee Game: Legend of Zelda, The (USA) (Rev A)

Marquee CommandLine: "D:\HYPERS~2\HYPERS~3\HyperLaunch.exe" "MAME" "1941"

Marquee Emulator: AME

Marquee Game: 1941

I switched to RocketLauncher and now it is working so it has to have something to do with hyperlaunch or I had something messed up. Thanks.

There are two versions on the FTP site. One for HL2 and one for RL.

Hyperspin FTP site. You have to be a member to get. More instructions on the Wordpress site in my signature. Thanks.

This is great work, thanks or8ital. A couple of things I'm hoping you can help me with:

First, is there any hope for displaying marquees while selecting systems and not just upon launch? I see a couple of other packages have done it with Marquee Magician and

. Marquee Magician seems to only have workarounds for HyperLaunch 2.x and no posts on RL, and HyperMarquee's site appears to be down.

Also, how are people typically launching this? I set it to auto-launch HyperSpin in the settings.xml file (the default), then I try to shell HyperSpinHelper.exe but it crashes on bootup every time. Right now I'm shelling HyperSpin.exe and telling HS to launch HyperSpinHelper.exe on startup. This works for me but your instructions explicitly state to launch HyperSpinHelper.exe first so I hope this config doesn't break anything.

Thanks again for your work on this project, it's a very impressive addition to my cabinet.

On the first item I would like to. I just don't know how to determine which wheel it is on. Maybe I will shoot BadBoyBill and see if he can give me a hint on what might be exposed from HyperSpin that I can key off of.

That would be awesome to have it show the marquee in real time :)

Is anyone else having a problem shelling this or is the problem on my end?

Any thought of using the triggers Arzoo uses in LEDBlinky? Or will that not work?

I don't know what ledblinky triggers off of. Doesn't it have some built in functionality with Hyperspin?

Yes it does. In HS, you simply turn on ledblinky support and point the path to where ledblinky.exe can be found. If you want to see it in action w/o an ledblinky, grab the ledblinky logger on the RL dropbox and as you scroll through HS, you can see what commands are sent and when.

Thank you! Will check it out this weekend.

Took a look at triggering off of LEDBlinky. Having trouble getting it to work. My program can reliably determine when it launches but by time it goes to query the command line parameters to set the images the program has closed (meaning I get no results). As a result it only switches the images about 20% of the time.

Still trying to figure out if there is a way around this.
