  1. I began messing with this again and this is a recap of what happened. 1. After reinstalling the plugins and doing a media refresh. And after removing a bunch of systems that were added during the mass addition phase of setup. The media assignments started working... so I was like ok... lets jump into hyperspin. 2. Once i get into hyperspin... half of them are freezing on the intial load... wont show the main theme at all. And many also worked. The program didnt freeze... just the scrolling between themes. 3. I started removing the ones that didnt populate the media. And readded the system back. This didnt help and the themes were still frozen upon rechecking. 4. I then deleted the entire media folder and made the program redownload the main media themes. There were a few that were now showing.. like teknoparrot. Most of the other ones still didnt populate. (Even though saying there was a theme assigned under the media tab) Mame is still broken... I gets stuck at 10 percent progress when I add my own rom folder. Nor does it have a main media theme as well. I feel some progress was made... but there are still severe problems.... Im hoping the next update aims to address these things. And im also hoping the devs are actively testing the software. I feel its almost there.... Just need to get over these last hurdles. A couple more issues. 1. Cant delete media on the media tab... If you try and delete it. It says it does... but going to another tab and coming back... the media is still there. 2. Where is the file that holds the cache for the images on the media main menu header? I completely restarted with a fresh version and when I loaded all my old systems were still there. I deleted the entire folder. As well as all the fils that get copied to the C drive in roaming and local. And the images were still there. That tells me there are some artifcats being left behind somewhere. Thanks
  2. I tried that.. didnt work... On top of that... the applied number jumps around... one time it will be 1, or 3... or 22... etc. Very weird... THey need a way to reset this completely. Or maybe rewrite how things are assigned.
  3. I started from scratch... and I used the new system add feature. THat seemed to work. However at the end of it... im unable to assign any of the main menu media. Started to work... as it was saving my selections. Then i went to a different menu...came back and nothing was saved. Ill try again next month.
  4. Noticed that there was a new update... After trying it out... My media assignments is still broken... I cant assign more than 3. I really dont want to start from scratch again. I feel that once I started moving around the wheel lists... it completely busted the ability to save changes to the media, wheel order etc. I will start from scratch if after this next update its not addressed. Things are really close to being functional.
  5. I was able to install mame... However I did so using the custom feature. I added the same name. Arcade (MAME) and it uses the Arcade theme. However.... I dont think theres any other theme media... game default theme for instance. Ive burned enough time on this... hopefully its helpful.
  6. Update I manually deleted the cache and had it regenerate... 1. My wheel list is now visible at 100 percent <----Im not touching this anymore... 2. My media is still acting funny.... and only is showing 2/3rds of the wheels. If I try and manually reapply them... I can do it initially... but then I go to another section, come back and now it says 4 media applied. But if I reverify it goes back to 2/3rds. Pretty strange behavior. Im currently messing with the mame install... I dont want a full list... thats not even an option really and just adds a load of non working titles and its very confusing.
  7. Can somebody explain what these folders do please? Backgrounds - System <---Places a background png behind all the games? Game Theme <---What is this? Is this a full video theme? Or do you need files like the game theme that are created in HyperTheme? Main Menu Theme <---- Like game theme? But for the system theme? One big Theme video file? Video Snaps - System <----Is this a generic Video Snap that will be used in case theres no snap for the game? Video Themes <---- No idea how to use this or what this is Video Themes - System <----- Another folder that does what? One big video theme for the system? Video Themes - Game <--- Same as above but for each game?
  8. Also the same exact thing happens with the media selections... if I try and change it from one main menu theme to another... or apply a theme to a wheel which doesnt have one... initially it says it did it... Saving it. Going back... things are reset. Also theres a ton of good wheels that dont have game themes... dreamcast for instance only has a main theme... but no game theme. Im sure these will get created over time though.
  9. 1. Chose my existing mame installation 2. Chose my Mame.exe 2. Chose my Mame rom folder 3. Went through the screen in what to download for media selections 4. Clicked ok... Refuses to hand off to the plugin. Just hangs.
  10. 1st Screen... 2nd Screen - Greyed out 2 additional wheels at the top. - it saves automatically 3rd Screen - Clicked on media.. came back to wheel... It resets back to what it was.
  11. WHeel Manager - Started moving things... Now I got stuff I cant make visible/Invisible also the show invisible filter shows both visible and invisible entries Media selection - Trying to change media... It wont save my selections and resets it back to whatever it was before the selection Mame installer is still broken... only one I can do is the full list installer... it refusing to pass on my mame list to the plugin... just hangs. Is there a way to reset the first two by clearing the files and having them regenerate manually? I dont want to go through and readd all my systems.
  12. The new version.. yeah... everything seems to be working now. Been messing with it for 2 days now Looks like things are finally shaping up!
  13. Anybody confirm any of this... Im not sure if the latest version is better at all... still the same issues from months ago.
  14. 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.
