or8ital's HyperSpin Helper Software - 2nd / 3rd Display Controller

[connorsdad]

I think ledblinky itself is slow to respond to HS so probably not a good idea to use that.

It's not elegant but I have it working (not uploaded yet, still testing). It requires you to enable the debug file on LED Blinky. A total hack but it works fairly well, unless you scroll through hundreds of games before stopping.

Looking forward to it

OK, new code published. You just need the .exe and settings.xml file. Instructions here:

Please, as always, let me know if you find any issues.

Before someone asks, no I can not change the emulator images as you scroll through emulators. Nothing sent to LEDBlinky tells me what emulator it is on in the wheel. Sorry.

[or8ital]

Maybe someday I could actually build an arcade machine so I can use the software I am writing!

[connorsdad]

Brilliant works better than I thought it would

Only downside is it causes hyperpin to not show the table back glass while rotating the wheel

Any chance of adding an exception to hyperpin exe?

Still, real impressed with it, top man Or8ital.

Edit

Seems to have altered a few systems, any chance I can get a copy of the old exe to test, like an idiot I didn't do a backup

[or8ital]

I don't have hyperpin setup. I believe you can use it as an emulator in hyperspin or on its own? Or do I have that incorrect. If you can explain more how it works I can see about putting in an exception.

I have it set as game that launches from PCgames wheel, the same way any other .exe launches from the wheel. Sorry to be a pita.

Seems my Naomi, Atomiswave and daphne wheels are having issues when games are launched, the marquee screen turns to black, I'm sure they worked before. Can you put a copy of the old exe on the ftp please so I could test.

Just upgraded. I have to turn off HyperSpeech for it to work, but it seems to be everything I was hoping for. Awesome job. Is there something I can do to use both HSHelper and HyperSpeech? Don't make me choose!

Changing the setting to false should have it functioning like it did before. I know I should but I don't keep old copies of the program. I can test daphne to see what's going on.

I just tested daphne and the only issue I had was with hyperspin momentarily changing resolution and covering part of the screen but then it cleared up.

When I point HyperHQ to the HyperSpeech alternate LEDBlinky.exe (turning HyperSpeech on), HyperSpinHelper displays only the default marquee.png at all times, even when playing games.

If I point HHQ to the real LEDBlinky.exe, HSH works great. Haven't tested all systems yet

Did some research on HyperSpeech. They should work together if you use the following settings in HyperSpeech:

RealLedBlinkyActive=true

RealLedBlinkyPath=F:\Hyperspin\LEDBlinky\

(set the directory to the real directory)

I haven't tested it though to confirm.

Just tested this and it worked fine on my system.

Have you tried naomi and atomiswave ?

I have neither setup to test.

I just did some checking, and my HyperSpeech file is set up correctly with the RealLEDBlinky path & active lines, but HSH just won't see the triggers to change the marquee if HyperSpeech is working. Is there a log file I should be looking at?

Maybe its my imagination that the previous version worked better

I definitely have different results depending on having the setting true/false, Naomi Monkey Ball for example, when set to true, the marquee image disappears when the game is launched.

To confirm. It works fine when set to false and doesn't work when true? If so, that would indicate it did work fine. I can try later to setup other systems to see what I get.

Did you change the settings in ledblinky for the debug file? I assume you did since you said it was working. Look at the date/time of your ledblink/debug.log file and see if its updating. You can upload a copy too which might help.

which emulator are you using for Naomi. Trying to set it up to test.

Yep, the debug.log and verbosity are set. I'll have to take a closer look at the logs and time stamping like you suggest on Wednesday, won't have time until then. Wish I didn't have to wait that long, I'm anxious to get this working.
