Experiencing a new error. A few minutes after launching a MAME game, HyperSpin all of a sudden retakes focus and the MAME game is still running in the background. Any ideas?

Is HL still running? Are you hitting Q+S, the default exit script key?

Mr Black Arm... Did you ever find a solution to this. I have a similar issue which has only been happening for a few weeks. I cant think of anything I might have done to create this problem and have tried many things to solve it.

Issue: Mame has no issue. But if I use nestopia, Fusion or zsnes as the first thing I do after going into hyperspin. The game will load and i have about 10 - 20 seconds before the focus flick back to hyperspin with the emulator and game still running in the background. You can tell its going to happen because the in game screen will flicker moments beforehand.

I am running the latest Hyperlauch with the latest AHK's for each emulator

player 1 keys though ipac are - up: w Down: s Left: a Right: d button1: 3 b2:e b3:r b4:z b5:x b6:c

If i run a game through Mame first, then the emulators are ok.

Any advise for this strange problem

I had a problem similar to this, I found that my player 1 buttons that were mapped to crtl and alt were to blame. It only happened when I played a 2 player game as the button combo of crtl + one of player 2's buttons made the switch. I found an easy fix was to remap buttons 1 and 2 on player 1 on all my emulators to letters instead.

Ok then try to isolate your problem, does it alway happen in Mame? Have you tried other emus? What if you start a game and the do not press a button, does it still occur? How are you launching mame from hyperspin in your settings?

The problem is not Mame. Mame is fine. However If I run another emulator. As the very first thing I do, after launching Hyperspin... lets say FUSION. Then the problem will occur. It will happen without any input.

Its like a problem with the AHK's or something.

Funny thing is.. if I launch MAME as the first thing that I do after loading hyperspin.. its fine.. then AFTER that if I launch an emulator such as FUSION.. it wont Lose focus.

Hopefully I have explained the issue better this time.

This is very stumpy. Have you checked your DPI settings in windows? Whenever it is set to extra large (or whatever the largest is) it does wired things to programs. I had it set on my media PCM and Hyperspin would do that sometimes.

Interesting. Because I was messing with the DPI.. to get a more readable windows font on my arcade monitor. But changed it all back once i started having issue.. but the issues seem to have come along for the ride.

I think you may have cracked it. Will need to experiment, when I have some spare time :)

Did anyone find a cause or resolution to this?

I'm having the same issue with Nestopia, but MAME works fine. It doesn't matter which one I launch first when I open Hyperspin, the focus returns to hyperspin after launching Nestopia and then the game is running behind it and you can alt+tab to get to it.

do you guys are using the recommended emulator version on the module. It sounds like HL is not finding that the emulator is running because the ahkclass of your window is diferent from the one set on the module.

When asking for help for RocketLauncher, POST ON THE RLAUNCHER.NET FORUMS!

Also, please post your RocketLauncher.log with logging level set to troubleshooting in pastebin (set the log level in RocketLauncherUI, global system > General Settings -> RocketLauncher).
