robmoore208 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Are you using hyperlaunch to launch the games? Yeah... I have it set on HQ for hyperlaunch.. Ok, what I did was switch main monitors in the windows setting, now my smaller Marquee monitor is showing the wheel ( which becomes the marquee of sorts when the game starts, because it shows a still shot of the wheel) the bigger screen plays the game... Is that screen shot the Marquee? Im just glad to have fixed it this far haha Sent from my DROID DNA

robmoore208 Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 What screen shot? Sorry Damn mobile didn't post it.. This one, the and wheel spins on the bottom right.. And when the game starts it pauses at the menu, is that the marquee? TV on left plays the game.. And when it's quit it snaps back to the right.. Not an ideal set up but for testing it works Sent from my DROID DNA
or8ital Posted September 19, 2013 Author Posted September 19, 2013 Looks like something screwy if going on that doesn't involve HSHelper. Your emulator is opening in a different window from hyper spin. Info on HyperspinHelper Software: http://hyperspinhelper.wordpress.com. Allows you to enable two additional displays as a Marquee and a controls help screen as well as map UltraStik 360 controls. Works exclusively with Hyperspin.
loppydog Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 I don't mean to sound pushy, but did you get a chance to look at my issue yet? Can you think of anything I could try? Thanks again!
or8ital Posted September 21, 2013 Author Posted September 21, 2013 I think someone said for pinball they had to disable HS helper due to the program wanting to run a second screen. I don't know. I don't have pinball running. The wheel thing not working consistently is a known issue. It's not something I can address because it's a hack relying on 3 other programs to work. For most reliability don't use the LEDblinky change on wheel. Also make sure you aren't running HS full screen. Info on HyperspinHelper Software: http://hyperspinhelper.wordpress.com.

loppydog Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 I'm sorry I should have been more clear. The only issue that is a major concern for me is just the image not showing up on the second monitor. In my video example, the pinball worked great, but the other game I launched did not. Many games I try to launch do not display. It may have something to do with the resolution of the game not matching my desktop res, but that is just a guess. I will play around with HS windowed again, but it didn't seem to fix it before. As far a LEDblinky, I can live with the unreliability it not too big of a deal. Thanks.
or8ital Posted September 22, 2013 Author Posted September 22, 2013 Yes. Make sure your emulator resolutions all match your main screen resolutions as well.

If you dont fix your resolutions of the emulator, dont expect Hyperspinhelper to work correctly, i can attest that you will go crazy long before it works properly. Fix all resolutions outside hyperspin, all will be good. The reason why is with two screens, the emulator will use part of the second screen when it draws the emulator window..

loppydog Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 OK, thanks guys. That clears it up for me. Not all PC games allow you to change resolutions, including almost all Popcap games. So it appears that I will have to keep using the Irfanview method.
kanaya Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 it's possible HS Helper display the names of the systems?
gooch Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 it's possible HS Helperdisplay the names of the systems? It can't unfortunately since there's nothing to trigger off on the Main Menu. Or8ital mentions this on his WordPress page for HSH Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
or8ital Posted September 26, 2013 Author Posted September 26, 2013 it's possible HS Helper display the names of the systems? Where and when would you want to see the name of the system? If while in a game then it does show on the control panel screen. The marquee screen can be customized to show any image so you could add the name of the system to your images. If while in the wheel for a particular system I may be able to with ledblinky. Show the system rather than show the game image? Info on HyperspinHelper Software: http://hyperspinhelper.wordpress.com.

gooch Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 If you're thinking about going back in to HSH code and making some modifications I have a request, more thinking out loud than anything. Since the call to LEDBlinky from HyperSpin can be unreliable but the HyperLaunch trigger is reliable, why not use LEDBlinky to trigger for wheel scrolls (since it's the only way), but once the game is launched trigger off HyperLaunch. This would make the second screen more reliable as a whole. But if you don't change this no biggee. The software is great as it is, thanks! Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
or8ital Posted September 26, 2013 Author Posted September 26, 2013 The in game screen does trigger off of hyper launch. (I think) Are there times it doesn't show for you when entering a game?

There are times yes. It'll correctly show when scrolling the wheel, then I'll launch the game and it'll revert back to the default custom marquee. In order to correct it I have to exit the game, scroll through a few game wheels and back, then launch the game again. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

or8ital Posted October 1, 2013 Author Posted October 1, 2013 I checked, no I can't. Led blinky doesn't launch with the system when scrolling through the main menu wheel. If there was something for me to trigger off of then it would be easy but there is nothing that I can find that allows for it. Maybe BBB will open up a future HS with hooks for 3rd party components.

gooch Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Is there a way to use an animated file format for the default marquee image like Gif or Apng?
rfancella Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Or8ital, This looks great! I setup a second monitor for my cab and if this works as well for me as it has for others, I'll mount the monitor on top of my cab. Now, is there somewhere else I can get the HyperLaunch2 version? I have not had FTP access since the first of the year, and can't seem to get a response to get it fixed. If someone can email or post both current versions as I am going to eventually switch to RL (still have a few emu's to sort out).?? Much thanks, Ron Code Monkey and all around Command Line geek!If you like what someone has said or done for you, be sure and 'Thank' them. And if they changed your life, send them a Beer!

rfancella Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Sweet!!! The one I got from your DropBox has some issue...

sandman7793 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I believe the one on the Dropbox is for the new hyperlaunch. Be back to you shortly.

rfancella Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Thanks again Sandman. Found this out. My cab is running XP. HyperHelper requires .NET 4.5 to run. .NET 4 will install on XP, but 4.5 will not. Sad day.... One of these years, I will update my cab to a better set of hardware, but not yet. I guess i'll give Marquee Magician a whirl, or just forget the second monitor option. Thanks for your help, Ron Code Monkey and all around Command Line geek!If you like what someone has said or done for you, be sure and 'Thank' them. And if they changed your life, send them a Beer!
