Sounds great and all... but please fix the media... its completely broken on many systems... doesnt display. Overrides dont work. A few things. You can see all the media in hyperHQ... it just dont show up in hyperspin. Fix this... and the popularity shoud drastically increase... right now... its on life support.

Please do! This is great news! If it pans out....

And I just started with a brand new fresh copy of Hyperspin 2. Tried to add Mugen.... None of the override media was added as expected.... Basically nothing changed.

Correct

100 percent correct. I added basically everything as a test... and not only did it falter... but to add a new system.. I had to keep deleting the cache to get it added. And the load times went through the roof.

Ive extensively added a ton of systems... And as of right now... its not Awesome... Damn thing chugs when you start adding thousands of games. They need to remove the databasing every file stuff. I dont even know if I want to put the time in to test if the media works on this new version... It probably doesnt.

I see the work going in.... Its extensive... If you want people to jump on and start believing in things... Fix the media first so it displays the way its meant to be displayed.... not some wheels showing everything... while other wheels completely ignore their media. And this goes for the themes too... you can download them... but the hyperspin side of things just chooses to show blank media. You can see the changes in HyperHQ... IDK. Nobody is going to care about the shiny new rails when the engine is on fire.

I havent tried it yet... but if the displaying media portion and overrides is still broken... then all this other stuff doesnt matter.

Kind of barking up the wrong tree buddy.... Buying systems is frowned upon here... you were supposed to build your own set. Generally though if you can see them in RL... then they should all appear in hyprespin HyperHQ... is there somewhere.. probably where the hyperspin exe is.

Wouldnt be a loser if they just stuck to what worked before... And after messing with Hyperspin 2 extensively.... creating something with a high number systems... collapses under its own weight. IDK.... Hopefully 25H2.. fixes HS1.

Well... 3 weeks have gone by... So much for the bi weekly update.

I remember when it first released... there was a file with a huge list of systems... some you could add media.. some you couldnt... There was literally no difference between them and they all had their hash codes. Also... what about overrides... none of those have hash codes.. and some systems use the overrides while others completely ignore them. Dont you think this should be the first thing that should be worked on? Otherwise.... your just shooting yourself in the foot. People will come... and lose interest. Every other feature can wait.

You can still have your themes etc... but now theyre stored on your account.. on their server... if you want others to get them... make them public. RL is still supported. They supported it out of the gate. Theyre not eliminating it. It's a spinning wheel that displays themes, videos, and logos. <---- This is what I just said... its the caching system messing everything up. Storing the cache on the C drive etc... Ive added every single wheel they offer... I know what works and what doesnt... and its ONLY specific wheels that have problems.... THere are a lot of them....ITS ALL MEDIA RELATED... Everything else works pretty well.... hopefully in the next update they adderss things. Theres also the grey screen that im getting now... same as the other screen where you would get the white dot in the center cause things ran out of ram.... So they obviously recycled the same code... Theres other problems too.... I dont think anything actually gets refreshed when clearing cache.... Ive checked all the files on C while doing it..... and nothing gets deleted.. no file size changes.. nothing. Its a bit weird.

THe beta works in every aspect but the media.... its the cache system. This thing would be full speed ahead if they didnt try and lock it down.

Its the sxs.dll file... it got updated in the system32 folder... Which doesnt work with hyperspin. Needs to be replaced... but you cant just update the folder manually with the file as its protected.

Its only certain wheels... needs to be fixed on the backend. Something to do with the cache files... who knows.

Theres more... but I keep getting the Grey screen again.... I appreciate that your trying to work on a ton of different new features... but the cache system although better... still has a ton of problems. In its current form... The launching and various things work great... but the media... is still very much a mess since most of the main wheel media, doesnt populate like it should. Also the search needs to be improved... Doesnt find the right matches. I dont know... i messed with this for a few hours today.... Pretty drained to be honest... Hopefully the next update addresses the media... in its current form. Its broken.

Another update... So ive been messing with this for a few hours.... Bad PNG files... completely crash hyperspin. I had some bad files in the Marquee folders... And I guess when hyperspin tries to read them.... The loading screen gets stuck. Also... the Grey error seems to be gone too... amybe it was from the bad files? Im not entirely sure.

Another update.... I tried to import my media back over.... and its frozen at the "Loading system and rom assets" Screen again. Ill wait a few mins and see it loads... but if it doesnt... Im going to start removing media... reloading.. see if I can isoloate the problem.

Quick update! The software is getting better.... After doing a fresh install. I made a backup of the files on C was able to import them over. And I tried loading hyperspin, and It did load! So im happy about that! Please work on the systems not populating media and custom systems! Its pretty important and fundamental to the use of the program.

Still not working.... Nothing from the Override folder works. Im going to assume the custom system add doesnt work either... I guess ill try again in 2 weeks.

Im going to try a brand new install and add mugen again... see if the media populates.

Just an update on things... applied the new update.. At first I still got the screen where things went completely grey and I had to manually close things. I reset the cache... Tried to reinstall plugins etc. Now its just frozen on the hyperspin loading screen... I really hope I dont have to start fresh yet again.
