    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.

    @jcm9800 Some games were not working for me at first because I didn't have all the bios files in RetroArch Extract this folder into RetroArch/system ep128emu.7z

    Those are both mult-part roms. I think you have to remove "prg" file extension from RetroArch module so it only sees .com or .bas files. Multi-part roms must only launch .com file. You can test in RetroArch (extract rom to folder then load .com file)

    I'll do my best to explain. Only extensions "com" and "bas" are required Rocketlauncher Main Settings: 7z=Enabled Settings -> Skip Checks = Rom and Emu Using Ep128emu RetroArch Core I hope that helps

    @Creezz67 I appreciate how much effort you're putting into testing the beta. You keep trying to make it work despite your frustrations and I respect that.

    You would need to find a more expansive xml or manually add to your existing xml.

    The Enterprise is a Zilog Z80-based home computer first produced in 1985. It was developed by British company Intelligent Software and marketed by Enterprise Computers. Its two variants are the Enterprise 64, with 64 kilobytes (kB) of Random Access Memory (RAM), and the Enterprise 128, with 128 kB of RAM. This setup was a collaboration with @brudibru These are the only the 96 commercially released games (compilations split for a total of 99). There are hundreds of hobbyist ports from ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, and Videotron due to the Enterprise's similar hardware being able to run them natively. We left them out because it would be a huge amount of redundant games from those systems. Full Setup includes: HyperSpin 1: Main Theme + Default Theme Database (with genre xml) HyperSpin 1 & 2: Main Menu Video + Wheel 99x Wheels (with brudibru) 99x Videos 99x 3D boxart @brudibru 99x Cassette Images @brudibru 99x Game Snaps @brudibru Modified TOSEC files + bios Bezel Includes Module Instruction for Rocket Launcher (RetroArch - ep128emu core) System can be launched from HyperHQ 2 and is a standard system selection

    I also request this. Database control is crucial. Lately all the bug request have been about MAME rom filtering settings and missing games after importing roms. Having control over databases would fix all that. Without importing a user created database, how can MAME be updated on a monthly basis? For that matter, how can MAME Software List systems be added? There's no way the shortnames of all MAME roms can be identified with the scaping tool. I'm not just talking about arcade games. MAME is the largest and most consistently updated emulator covering hundreds of systems. None of which can be matched to any media with the current scraping tool. I could only see that working if we could maintain our own databases and could scrape media based off the database game "description" info and not "rom name" info. Maybe HyperHQ could use MAME Software List Hash files to identify match roms to media? Still that would be so much work to set up. The easiest solution is to give us access to creating or using existing xml databases. There's no way to automate this and please everyone. So make it the users responsibility to maintain.

    I had to make an assumption because we don't have an audit tool to show us exactly what's being filtered. I agree with your interpretation of how the settings should work but I was not able to import my entire non-merged selection either. It will probably be addressed soon.
  16. floatingyeti
    I'm pretty sure that has to do with the region you selected when setting up MAME.

    That looks great! I think that covers everything for now. CL is not my strength so I would be referencing HyperCL more than contributing to it. I'm sure it will reduce the amount of troubleshooting questions. Thankyou for adding it so quickly!
  18. floatingyeti
    System | Emulator | Supported Filetypes | CL | description of what CL does I'm sure there needs to be more nuance but that might cover the basics. Thankyou

    From what I can tell from the game metadata and system info in system.json this seems to be using the same metadata/database as Launchbox Games Database page. If you match your game names to LBGB it might work.
  20. floatingyeti
    That's really been a breaking point for me as well. We don't have the ability to check and adjust the databases for personal preference or accuracy. I think this issue will be fixed in a future update because if they add the ability to create a custom system, you would also need the ability to create its database and metadata.

    Could we have a page to share emulator launch command lines? The prefilled default command line feature has been really convenient but it won't be possible to have a default available for every scenario. Could we have a community page to share emulator/supported system launch commands? Similar to the old Hyperlist page but with a list of Systems / Launch CL we can copy and paste into HyperHQ. I'm sure we can't call it HyperLaunch but maybe HyperCL?
  22. floatingyeti
    Thankyou for including the media\_overrides feature! Could we eventually have a feature in HyperHQ to search for missing media within a local folder? First we would use built in media sync to download latest media files. Then, if any media is missing, have a tool to search our pre-existing media collection and copy (only missing) media to overrides folders.
  23. floatingyeti
    Could we add "Sort Release Date" to the Wheel Manager Options? It would be nice to order systems by timeline of release.
  24. floatingyeti
    That was also the case with the previous version of HyperSpin. JPG doesn't support transparency so it would make clear logos impossible.

    That's exactly what I'm experiencing but I don't think I explained it as well in my bug report.
