    I can't believe my rank is Newbie with just shy of 2000 posts... :) 

     

    Funny enough, FIXED! All ranks have been recalculated, you are now Rank 6 "Enthusiast"

    We have a new website feature to go along with the HyperSpin 2 beta, the Beer Me! (Tip System)

     

    Members now have the chance to show their support and appreciation for their favorite artists and contributors by treating them to a cold, frosty pint anytime! HyperSpin has always been a community driven by incredible artists, and the contributions to this project are nothing short of amazing. While reactions, ratings, and download counts are great, nothing quite compares to the gesture of buying someone a drink to say, "Thank you." So, why wait? Show your gratitude... buy that artist (or contributor) a beer today!

     

    Here are a couple of examples

    A big shout out to @RetroHumanoid for being our tester.  I hope you do not mind being the example.

  3. The overrides were thrown in last minute and very experimential, incomplete.  Probably should have waited until fully baked to add.  Even worse its doing data duplication to work with the existing cache system.  He alluded to changes next week in the post but in hindsight, it could have been more clear.  Anyway, known issue, this feature should be fully baked in a week or two.  It was rushed due to outcry 🫣

    Where do the video themes go exactly?

    They cant go in the same video folders right?

    C:\ProgramData\HyperSpin\media\Systems\_overrides\Arcade (MAME)\EmuMoviesVideoMedium <--Wouldnt it just think its a regular video? 

    Since this is overrides... hyperspin knows to use this folder over the cache folder? And even if it does use it... it projects the video to the full screen? Not displaying in the system theme?

    Also... having a copy of the video in the regular client folder... then copying it over to cache... and having another video in override.... is a bit nuts. 3 copies of the video for the same game? Plus snaps?

    We should be able to delete the ones we want and turn off syncing... every time hyperlaunch starts... it just starts grabbing the same files.  Taking up huge amounts of space.

    Thanks

     

    Spoke to @fr0stbyt3 this morning and you are absolutely right. It wasn't in the logic plan so I had to double check, but in the rush to get that out ASAP it got added with the current cache system in place that kind of demanded it be injested.  Next weeks cache upgrades will eliminate this need and then this whole thing should make a lot more sense and not needlessly fill your HDD with duplicate media. So consider this feature *experimental* this is not how its going to work long term or even near term.

    The feedback from the team is that custom systems like PC games and Steam will be tackled in a few weeks.

    UPDATE: The steam not launching bug was a typo in code and will be resolved with todays .36 release. PC Games will be a couple weeks.

    I just had this.

    Delete the MainMenu media folder & _cache folders completely, close down HyperHQ and then go back into HyperHQ

    It should just re-build them all again and work in Hyperspin, that's what I did.

    Jumping the gun a bit here, but a lions share of these types of issues all share a root cause with the cache system.  There should be a more detailed announcement later today following todays upcoming .36 release. Team has already started work and it's going to take a few days to a week probably. Not exactly sure on the timeframe but not long.

    I just read there one user writes that the video is downloaded to disk C, I look - there another one also writes something about video files...
    That's why I thought that they don't sync for me because I'm just a Basic member on EmuMovies...

    They wont download (sync) if you are a basic member, but you will be able to use ones you have or downloaded from the site soon.  

    EDIT: I just noticed that you are a content creator, submit a ticket over at EmuMovies and we'll get you all sorted. Thats one step above supporting member sir ;)

    EDIT EDIT: Found you, you're now a Content Contributor over at EmuMovies.

    Hi guys.
    I have a question.
    If I don't have a platinum membership on EmuMovies, do I get no video previews?
    Even the worst quality ones won't be available?
    I usually have a basic membership, and you could download some amount of video clips from the site for free in SD quality.
    If you don't allow regular users to download videos in HyperHQ, then maybe you could at least put screenshots instead?
    We're back to the problems of membership, synchronization, and the inability to use your media manually.....
    I have ALL the video prewievs for the systems I need, some downloaded from EmuMovies, many other videos, for Japanese ROMs I made myself or found on other sites. and now I can't use any of it.
    HyperHQ with my basic membership doesn't synchronize video previews for games.

    Maybe its bug?

    At all.

    Sorry for the confusion, it was stated in the livestream that local media wasn't supported at launch but would be coming. The main reason for this is that the sync system needs testing.  That being said, many image based media types were enabled as local overrides (local media) in todays .34 update. As stated in the update notes, video media is coming next, but there are some additional options that need to be enabled in the back-end and some testing.  The dev team is trying to test and harden one set of features at a time but mostly bug fixing atm 😉.  And screenshots will be automatically utilized at some nearish point.

    I don't disagree at all.. I had to do a fresh install. It seems the only time I can trigger the autoinstall of the emulators is on the initial setup. Afterwards, it's all manual.  

    Trust me, we are on day 4, it's going to get better by the day.  Great feedback here.

    So I found these file locations. To do a fresh install, all of these have to be removed. The uninstall seems to only remove the primary HyperHQ.  

    • Mine was located under C:\Users\<System Name> 
      • There's 2 files .HyperHQ and .HyperSpin
    • also C:\Users\<System Name>\AppData\Roaming
      • There's 2 files HyperHQ and Hyperspin
    • Default Hyperspin location 
      • C:\ProgramData\HyperSpin
    • lastly 
      • C:\Program Files\Hyperspin

    If you find anymore, let me know. 

    @fr0stbyt3 Adding my vote, also not a fan of this.
