    @rik81 I was agreeing with you not making a counterpoint. I've also used Rocketlauncher with HS 2.0 but it felt more like a workaround than something supported.
  2. floatingyeti
    Yes, but that's why beta testers are upset. Take a moment to think about how most people used HyperSpin 1.5. It was used to display themes/media according to user defined databases and pass game launching on to Rocketlauncher. Yes, it could do a bit more than that but for most users that was the extent of it. I understand they want to eliminate Rocketlauncher, that's not an issue. It's reasonable to expect (even during beta testing) that the most basic function of any software bearing the name "HyperSpin" would correctly display themes/media. Specifically in the HyperSpin menu first and foremost. Any expanded functionality is a bonus but should not be focused on until the primary feature of HyperSpin works. It's a spinning wheel that displays themes, videos, and logos. Can we get that working first?
  3. floatingyeti
    I've always placed the (compatible) sxx.dll file in the HyperSpin directory. Is that fix no longer working?
  4. floatingyeti
    I think there should be a "lite mode" for HyperHQ. A simple text only mode for users that appreciate the HyperSpin menu and themes but prefer not to use Launchbox.
  5. floatingyeti
    I think it's the opposite. Hyperspin users have been in the minority for a very long time. The problem for us Hyperspin enthusiasts is that more people care about Launchbox, Retrobat, or [any other] popular front-end. We are so far in the minority that Hyperspin 2.0 is not made for us. Appealing to Launchbox users would be a far more viable and sustainable strategy. This is "business" not a passion project to cater to loyal HyperSpin users.

    @Dime333 The only option is to repeat the process up to the last point of compatibility but then permanently disable windows updates via the registry.

    I think people are asking for a routine progress report. A weekly text post with a few development bullet points. Minimal communication and engagement can help a lot.

    Emulation is still rough and most of the selection are homebrew titles but NUON is now playable enough to justify! This is a combined effort with @brudibru (Media/Module/Bezel/Fade). Without his help, showing me current NUANCE compatibility and the homebrew games, I wouldn't have considered the system. The existing module did not work well with homebrew games, so we are using a modified version of PC Launcher. Freefall 3050 A.D. and Iron Solider 3 are still not playable.

    Who is the intended audience for HyperSpin 2.0? I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm legitimately asking. The cache system makes it nearly impossible to create content. So if I made a new system with 20 games and created all the media myself, would I put them in overrides and suffer the long delay of the cache system? What if I had to make quick adjustments or edits because they are never 100% right the first attempt? But then for a theme I have to submit and upload online but wait for the cache system to allow me to test my own theme after downloading it? Again I would probably want revisions and absolutely would not want to publicly submit my work until I could test it offline. That process isn't just slow and inconvenient, its very uncomfortable. I don't feel like these are beta issues, it seems like the intended process. So Hyperspin 2.0 will be for someone who wants to have a front-end but only the more popular system with available media, doesn't want to add their own systems/media, and is ok having the same themes as everyone else. It's sounds like Hyperspin 2.0 was made to attract the same people that purchased Hyperspin HDDs. A very quick front-end setup designed to automatically install everything and discourge any DIY creativity or advanced customization. I hope all those assumptions are incorrect and the beta will become something that's "user-friendly" but not at the detriment of "creative freedom".

    Yes, the core is finicky and you need to exit and relaunch a game. Most of the credit for this system goes to @brudibru. He showed me how to launch the games, determined the game list, and created most of the artwork. Try to follow all the setup steps I put in the comments here.
