Check your settings for the various folders for everything RocketLauncher etc

What's happening is supposed to happen - when you load a game the HyperSpin process is paused meaning it freezes. When you close the emulator it will spring back to life.

could it be in my MAME INI folder

It seems like your trying to use both RL and HS to launch the rom.

That's ok. Have you got any other systems setup to test?

you mean install it all on another system?

[Guest]

you mean install it all on another system?

No I mean do you have any other systems setup in HyperSpin, like Genesis, SNES etc or are you just starting with MAME?

sorry lol just started with mame

No problem. Can you give us a brief run down on what you've done so far to set it up?

installed hyperspin 3.1 installed rocketlauncher in its own folder with in hyperspin set every thing up in rocketlauncher after update to piont to my emulator and roms all test work fine in rocketlauncher updated my mame.xml to suit my roms then run rl transition to suit hyperspin 1.3 and edited the dxwnd example to just dxwnd thats about it really 

[Guest]

Ok. Firstly, I'd advise using the setup tools rather than editing the settings files directly. HSHQ is the setup for HyperSpin and RLUI is for RocketLauncher.

Secondly you need to be using the new HyperSpin 1.4 beta to use RocketLauncher. You'll need to get access to that first.

[pil196]

Why does your log say you have RocketLauncher.exe inside the RocketLauncherUI folder?

 

 

Also if you are going to use RL with HS 1.3 you need to run the transition tool from RL.

Ha ha top man that was the problem I just edited the MAME.INI from path=C:\Hyperspin\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncherUI\ to path=C:\Hyperspin\RocketLauncher\ and all is working i must have cocked up with the rl transition tool some were.

a big thanks for all your help people just got figure out how get me joysticks and buttons working now
