Every time I start a game I get this error message. To be clear this is a clean install (just started with HS 2.0). I have allready gone through the nuclear option en re-installed everything, but still the same (btw windows 11 if it helps)

MAME system creation continues to fail when using the option for only your ROM list. The MAME Plugin gets stuck at 5% at the Preparing MAME Install during the Setup Process. This issue has been occurring over several versions and has not been resolved. The full MAME database option works. Why is that option even there? It just loads all the crap you don't have in addition to what you do have and gums everything up. Totally unnecessary. If you're going to keep that option, at least have a setting in the wheel that allows only the ROMS you have to remain in the wheel and not display absolutely everything.

I think it would be a great feature for HyperSpin, for attract mode to cycle between the platform view into the game view and vice versa while in attract mode instead of just one or the other

1. Couldnt install mame.. had to reinstall the plugin 2. No override media.. just doesnt show. Ive only got 1 wheel installed... mame.. and installed a custom mame system to check that.. 3. Overrides should take presidence in viewing the wheels in HLHQ.. right now.. it doesnt. 4. No media shows in the Custom system setting. None 5. When adding Arcade (Mame).. adds all 15000 games... Even though I only added my rom folder with has under 4000.

Two things I am noticing. First thing is if you have emumovies set to highest video quality in the settings, it will not download 480P (medium quality) videos if no (high quality) 720p, 1080P are available. I could see this confusing new users because a lot of their videos will not download due to this. I believe this was fixed in a previous beta but the issue is now back. 2nd issue is the dropdown menu for this setting is not color coded correctly as shown in the screenshot.

While Windows tolerates this in many cases, certain command-line tools (like 7-Zip) can fail or behave unpredictably when given such paths. This makes it a latent source of bugs. Cause: Paths are likely being constructed via raw string concatenation instead of a path-aware method. Example: (Not sure which languages the team is using) basePath = "C:/ProgramData/HyperSpin/HyperSpin/"; subPath = "\plugins\HyperspinCore Essentials\7zip\7za.exe"; fullPath = basePath + subPath;

Active path: C:/ProgramData/HyperSpin/HyperSpin 2/ Log: ERROR HyperHQ: 'C:\ProgramData\HyperSpin\HyperSpin' is not recognized as an internal or external command, The way HyperHQ is trying to launching Hyperspin, HyperHQ is dropping part of the folder dir if there is a space in the folder name.

The reason that Hyperspin takes sooooooooo long to load up (10+ minutes for me) is because it is compiling/verifying EVERY single item that is in your collection, be it media (boxart,backgrounds,videos etc) then ALL of your roms. 10 minutes is just while I have 1 system added (Atari 2600) + media for 20 others using overrides (seeing as I keep having to delete HyperHQ/Hyperspin every time there is a new build. . I currently have 620 systems on Hyperspin 1.5, so I would literally have to wait a week for it to load up if I added them all if it had to check in the same way. This is obviously never going to work going forward, so maybe look at the entire process so early into the build, before there is no going back ? Nobody is waiting 10+ minutes to load up a frontend, never mind a week. Ps, I am using Windows 11 64bit 23H2 build where Hyperspin 1.5 still loads up in 5 seconds with 620 Systems on it.

I have recently upgraded to version .60. The version before that I was having problems with just the auto import of ROMs for MAME, but now I'm seeing it for all systems. Based on the logs, it looks like the tasks are completing, it's just the progress bars are not completing and closing. I've turned off Auto Import for the time being, but that's just a work around to make the progress bars not show up. Please see the image below for reference.
