Ok, I got it to work for Nintendo Entertainment System.. whew, glad I only like a few systems. LOL now I guess I can workout how to trouble shoot future issues, it was the emulator, possibly a combination emu/ahk file i had.. the names match and all that now. Had to use Jnes v1.1.. so my only issues left are the XML file, gotta manually just remove all the games i wont be running? And, the artwork? Im used to front ends that pick up games individual xml file for title description and use a "folder.jpg" for example. edit: alright, ive figured it out. Was able to use dons tools to edit my xml, figured out how to add artwork. One, by, one is there no zipped bundles for artwork online? i gotta say it looks amazing though.. for something i'll rarely use, but still. thx for the guide/help

problem 1: you were correct, ive been working on this.. Since deleting the xml file, ive come to realize, it has to be there.. I suppose once im all finished i can edit it to only the games im running? Ive just matched up a game (was "1943 (us).nes" needed to be "1943 - The Battle of Midway (USA).nes" I try to launch and i get the error not word for word but "cannot find c:\hyperspin\hyperlaunch\module extensions\dxwdn\dxwdn.ini ive just renamed it from dxwdn (example).ini to what it should be, so fingers crossed. problem 2: yea, pretty much. Im watching a tutorial now, its been a bit rough around the edges but its helping somewhat. problem 3: hyper tools? i downloaded dons hyperspin tools, i tried the rename program, but it didnt match my nes files, even when naming 1943 correct, i loaded the correct xml (i redownloaded the xml) i pointed to the roms folders, etc Must the roms be in root, or can they be in folder? i have both right now, assuming they must be in root, mine are in folders, so im testing with 1943 in root. but it doesnt see it. I figured i might be using an unsupported nes emulator, i tried fceu1 and jnes, i had an autohotkey error after changing the above situation, im currently still stuck. But ive configured it to use Nestopia now since ive found thats supported, i got v 1.4, which is in the global modules. Not sure why im still getting an ahk error.. maybe its cached. I noticed this, not sure if i need to manually set this up c:\hyperspin\settings\nintendo entertainment system.ini [exe info] path= rompath= userompath=true exe= romextension= parameters= searchsubfolders=true pcgame=false winstate=HIDDEN hyperlaunch=true shouldnt path be to my emu .exe, and rom path obviously to my rom directly for nes, and the rom extension? but not sure why hyperlaunch hq wouldnt have set this up

hypermakemyheadspin installation, here goes nothing.. cant complain for free stuff anyways, thanks. lol an hour later, fail.. i open hyperspin and it just appears to be a demo? i downloaded and installed git, and the pink turtle thing did it all to a T, aside from my first emulator i didnt install MAME, i installed NES.. simple and easy enough to add the extensions, point to where the emu is, added some roms in a folder, pointed to them. ugh another edit: figured out how to go fullscreen at least. i also noticed in my settings folder "nintendo entertainment system.ini" the path is blank, do i need to manually set the path to the rom? what confuses me is when I launch HyperSpin, and open the NES part.. its loaded with every game you could image. where is it scraping that database from? i think i need to delete stuff, then re-add stuff, to test if im configured right. Just dont understand why it comes pre-loaded with the lists. edit again: Well i deleted the nintendo entertainment system.xml since that had the ENTIRE list, why does the HQ not automatically create an xml file? Ive added a new xml file since i got the error "no xml file found" LOL.. i tried to manually add one of the ROMS thats in its directory, by copying the xml of that game.. into the xml for the main nes system. It doesnt say xml not found anymore, but it wont enter when i click on nes, so no games. im also getting some kind of module errors in Hyperlaunch HQ, i believe it was steem and steem sse something i forget, i deleted alot of the systems, but thats still under global. guess i'll search for a google video, im missing something so little im sure. this def isnt for the average user. seems like it could be bundled up for easier installation, but maybe not. It does LOOk cool enough to hassle with though. problem is this is just a test install on one of my laptops. LOL im hoping the next two installs on my htpcs will go easier, like copy the whole folders over, maybe just need to reinstall git and the pink turtle guy
