Still having media issues after upgrading to 2.0.58.

Just wondering if there's going to be any resolution to this? I see it's been viewed quite a bit, but in two weeks, no admin has responded to say it's being looked at. I hope this gets some resolution soon. This makes QA testing quite difficult not knowing if this is affecting other aspects of the application.

Exactly! With some new coding, an option to set it to on or off, and a settings page once it's turned on.

HyperHQ version .49 fixed the issue. THANKS!!!

It's any version of MAME. I tried multiple versions.

I am having the same problem. However, mine appears to finish, but apparently doesn't. This is after my last clean install and upgrade download.

Ok guys. I finally figured out what the issue was and HyperSpin is now functioning. First I'll let you know what the issue was, then I'll offer some recommendations on how to help with something like this in the future. The issue was that I am using an older machine. I connected my DVI to HDMI cable to the video port on the motherboard so I could update my NVIDIA graphics card drivers. The problem was, that I never put the cable back and the onboard graphics chip is not strong enough to handle HS new HD display. Once I moved the cable to my graphics card, HyperSpin was running like a champ. Now, I would have never even thought to check that until I went back through the steps that I went through to get this computer ready to use it exclusively for testing HQ and HS. What I would like to recommend is error pop ups. HS was obviously erroring out or just getting stuck, but having something pop up stating that was occurring would be an extremely helpful tool in the future. Another thing that kind of threw me, is the HS log only contained three lines in it (please see log I attached earlier in the thread. Is the logging not set to a higher level and that's why there's only the three lines? Can you please look into that when you have a chance? I know you guys are busy, but I feel these two things would go a long way in resolving issues without relying on you all so much.

Here is my HS log showing little to nothing occurring when I start it. hyperspin-2025-02-03-02-50-41.log

Ok. First, a big thank you to @thatman84 for giving me the location of the logs. After reviewing the ROM import process in the logs, it appears that part of the issue of not all ROMs being imported, is because of the 2-player priority selection when setting up the import parameters. The import process is rejecting all 3-player and 4-player games, even though almost all of them can still be played by 2 players. It seems like instead of this "prioritizing" the games it is filtering and only importing 2-player games. I feel there should be an option that allows that parameter to be ignored. The rest are being filtered out because they are "imperfect". I feel here there should be an option to allow us as users to either skip imperfect ROMs or allow them to be imported. I know that several of the ROMs are imperfect, but most still work. This could also be a possible mismatch of ROM to MAME version. Please let us know if that's an accurate deduction. Another issue I see in the log is, only the first letter of the game name is displayed on the line stating it was "Filtered Out". I feel it would be beneficial to display the entire game name so we can go out and get the latest version of the ROM, if I am correct in the fact it was filtered out because of the ROM version and MAME version mismatch. I hope this adds some clarity as to what the issue is. I know I feel better. HyperHQ-2025-01-31-05-36-24.log

Ok. Figured out how to get rid of the folders in the HyperSpin/Emulators folder and keep them from coming back. Just delete them from the Emulators section in HQ, then delete the folders from the HyperSpin/Emulators folder. HQ will no longer see them as installed when you go to add MAME again. HyperSpin still will not run. Still loads, but won't run. I'm now going to try to uninstall HQ and reinstall to see if that changes anything.

I appreciate your comment and thank you for acknowledging my effort to help in the beta test. I would like to point out that I am not being impatient, just responding to other comments that are telling me to "lower my expectations" and insinuating I don't know what I'm doing. I am more than happy to wait for resolution of this issue because I know it takes time to recreate the issue, troubleshoot, make corrections, test, troubleshoot more, make corrections, test again (rinse & repeat as necessary), then release the fix; because I have been in the same boat as you all many times in the past.

Nope. Tell that to all the other people that expect it to import all their ROMs too.

Of the 15,113 of your ROMs, how many of them imported into HQ2? All of my ROMs are confirmed as working in HS1 using the most current version of MAME. I've been working on perfecting the operation of HS and MAME on my arcade machine for six years now. That's why I wanted to be a part of the beta testing. Any new version of software should be equal to or better than the original as far as functionality goes. When I can load all my working ROMs manually in the original version, but all of them won't import automatically, that's a problem that needs to be solved and that is base level functionality. Plus, why would I want a full set? Half of those games are garbage clones. I have only selected the ROMs for original games. That's my preference.
