please post hyperlaunch script notes so it can be incorporated into hyperlaunch downloads

please post hyperlaunch script notes so it can be incorporated into hyperlaunch downloads

Here i leave the code that i have put on the hyperlaunch.

;*******Taito Type X2******

else if (systemName = "Taito Type X2" && executable = "Taito.exe")
{
hideDesktop()
Runwait, "%romPath%%romName%%romExtension%", UseErrorLevel
Process, waitClose, %romName%%romExtension%
}

As you know, this emulator has no executable file in your home directory, you have a bat file as executable so the hyperlaunch cannot launch it from the bat file.
Then what you have to do is the following. With this program we make the bat file to exe, and we provide the name of Taito. We have the exe file to the hyperlaunch. Then we would have to create a folder in the directory of the emulator called for example, games, and in an awful mess this folder a shortcut of the executable file, with the name of the game according to the database that we have.
And finally to add games, the only thing that we have to do is to convert the bat file of the game corresponding to exe, and create a shortcut on the game exe that we have created and put it in the folder "games" with the name that we have in our xml file.
Here i leave the ini file that i have:

path=C:\hyperspin1.0\emulators\Taito Type X2\
exe=Taito.exe
romextension=lnk
rompath=C:\hyperspin1.0\emulators\Taito Type X2\roms\
searchsubfolders=false
userompath=true
pcgame=false
hyperlaunch=true

[Skitprat]

Awesome, thanks ! I'll try this out tonight :)

[Skitprat]

Hey there, just to let you know that your solution worked fine for me, I just had to tweak some options but it did the trick just fine ! Thanks for your contribution :)

My solution supports vertical games, this does not. Also mine launches from bat files, no need for a new exe.

Hello all,

Tutorial for Taito on HSP.

For begining you must create new Wheel: TAITO and add this on MainMenu.

After, create a folder in Emulator "Taito Type X 1&2 GAMES" and your put all folder of game TAITO you have. (ie: for BLAZEBLUE CONTINUUM SHIFT create BBCS)
Create a link of game.bat and put on Taito Type X 1&2 GAMES folder. (BBCS.lnk)

Make script "TaitoTypeX" with AutohotKey with this text:


#singleinstance force
RWin::return
LWin::return

Compile your script for obtain "TaitoTypeX.exe" and copy this file on path of Taito Games, for my situation is "D:\HyperSpin\Emulator\Taito Type X 1&2 GAMES\"

Add this on your Hyperlaunch.ahk and compile to "Hyperlaunch.exe"


;******************TAITOTYPEX*********************
else if (systemName = "Taito" && executable = "TaitoTypeX.exe")
{
hideDesktop()
Hotkey, %exitEmulatorKey%, CloseProcess
Run, %emuPath%%executable%
Runwait, %romPath%%romName%%romExtension%
sleep, 15000
WinGet, NewPID, PID, A
Process, priority, %NewPID%, High
;MsgBox The newly launched PCGame's PID is %NewPID%.
WinActivate, %NewPID%
Process, waitClose, %executable%
Process, Close, %NewPID%
WinActivate, HyperSpin
}

Configuration for Taito.ini on Hyperspin settings (this is a example of path, make for your situation)


[exe info]
path=D:\HyperSpin\Emulator\Taito Type X 1&2 GAMES\
rompath=D:\HyperSpin\Emulator\Taito Type X 1&2 GAMES\
userompath=true
exe=TaitoTypeX.exe
romextension=lnk
parameters =
searchsubfolders=true
pcgame=false
winstate = HIDDEN
hyperlaunch=true

Add to wheel menu your game, the same name of your link(ie: BBCS for BLAZEBLUE CONTINUUM SHIFT)

Enjoy

PS: Sorry for my english, i promise to make better with the time.

I already made a HL1.0 script, you can find it on the ftp. Your script is basically a rehashed PC games script that doesn't support all the taito games.

[naku]

How i can have acces to your script on FTP, it's FREE ? ??

All games of taito work with my configuration ^^, but i would like have access to your script.

It's my first time, for make script.

Thanks a lot.


PS: Very sorry for my bad english

Your vertical games won't rotate, but they will "work". If you have AH3 on your wheel, your desktop res will not be restored when you exit the game, also fixed with my script.

FTP is not free, you have to be a gold member.

[naku]

Ok, thank you for information, but saw it was the games that I will not play.
Games that are m'interrese King of fighter, Blazeblue, Samurai and Spica, so yes it was true that I could not verified for the other games I will not play

I will look at the requirements to become Gold Member, you are really doing a great job
element and many scripts that you it packs or themes are available for a GOLD member.

Thanks for the script m8, I did everything u said and managed to launch raiden 3:). The only problem I have is exiting the game. My exit button is mapped to C ( in config and in my HS script) but it does nothing. If i hit esc on the keyboard it exits but the screen wont rotate back? I tried looking through the script but its way above my head . Any help?

[djvj]

If it's not rotating back, it's not detecting the exe is closed, the key you use doesn't matter. Are you sure your exe is called game.exe? If it is called launcher.exe, rename it and fix your bat file.

[sam225631]

After rereading my post i just mapped the exit key to another key and it worked ok. Not sure why the script and emu cant share the same exit key but i got it working anyways. Ta for the help. Another problem i have is with Shikigami_No_Shiro_III, hyperspin freezes after exiting. I think it might be due to the res change but not sure?

So far I got most of the games working. Cheers

[darko934]

same problem here

[volumetric]

It's for gold members only.
Any reason why? I'd hate to think Hyperspin was making itself a financially exclusive front end. That would fly in the face of all the reasons why I use HS. Is this also why none of the required settings.ini are available except on the FTP? For those who dont have FTP access, there is a frontend called arcade pc loader, it creates exe files to launch type x games with things like selectable resolution and screen rotation built in.

[djvj]

Because I wanted it so? I have no ties to anything with HS and finances, so there goes that theory.

This whole thread should be locked or moved as if you want to discuss "questionably unsafe systems," donate.

Because I wanted it so? I have no ties to anything with HS and finances, so there goes that theory.
I was asking a question, not putting forth a theory, as for 'questionably unsafe systems,' i dont even know what that means, as such i have no idea why i should be donating to discuss them. If you are referring to unsupported systems (ps2 / Wii etc) I wasn't, i can't see any of the required ini's for any systems available for download anywhere obvious. The reason why i asked the question, was because i couldn't understand why you would post your scripts on the main site where everyone can see and download them. But keep the settings.ini files only for those who have paid. I will donate when i can afford to, until that happens, i will continue to donate what i can afford, which right now is my time.

[ZedEx48K]

Now, not meaning to shit stir here, but after seeing another thread asking for help with the Dolphin emu to get Gamecube games running and being told the system wasn't supported due to age/profit in it etc and being locked to stop contination of discussing adding it, how is it that this emulator is fine to be added? Afterall it is filled with new'ish titles all still making a profit in the arcades and on current gen consoles.

[volumetric]

Your confusion is understandable, i think the rules need to be looked at because i think the 'emulation' scene as such has overtaken them. It does seem strange that there are numerous threads devoted to cave SH3 and taito type stuff. Yet we cant mention gamecube. Im certainly not advocating that we start opening up previously unsupported systems. Actually looking at the unsupported list, i dont have any of those systems installed at all. What i am conceding is that as things stand, it's a little confusing.
