Street Fighter 4, Hyperspin, how?

[Alpha17x]

Been trying at it for a few days since the last time I cried about it.

How do I make it work, sometime please just tell me. I don't understand hyperlaunch at all. I took the 'script' from the sf4 pc autokey script' post on this forum, and pasted it on a new line at the end of hyperlaunch.ahk

I put a shortcut to the launcher in the same folder I keep all my other *.lnk 'roms' (they all work)

With street fighter 4 I get 'missing executable in PC Gaming.ini' I don't really know what that means, if it wants an exe to be in the folder that the ini file is in, and if so which exe? the street fighter 4 launcher? or if it just needs the rom extension of *.exe to be added to the list (which I don't know how to properly do. Logic would dictate that you do something like;

'romextension = lnk, exe'

However that did not appear to work. Nor does it cause any errors with pc games that worked prior to the change. Do you have to do anything special with the shortcut? create a batch file? How do you do it? Obviously some of us here have gotten it to work, how?

This is quite litterally the singular, and last thing that's keeping me from using hyperspin in one of my cabinets. I could do it anyway, my control panel has a track ball and I can just 'click' on the launcher... but really... I may as well just leave it on a desktop if that's the case .


So, the long and short;

Street Fighter IV, I have been asking for days, how, how, how, please. I am begging here, someone spit it out. It can't be all that hard, where do I put the 'script' what file do I create a shortcut to, is there a specific folder it goes in. Please just tell me.

To anyone who does tell me (in english, not binary please) Thank you, and may the gods rain down wealth, virgins, or whatever makes you happy upon you.

I told you PM me and I can help you set it up. Its really easiest to log into your machine and help you configure it. Once you understand it and see how it is done please write a tutorial in basic English.

[Alpha17x]

I recall that, and appreciate the offer. But i'm just not sure about letting anyone into my computer. which is why i'm looking for a tutorial.

Then I can only wish you the best of luck. There are many tutorials, but as you stated they are not in any language you understand.
Since there are already a couple threads here regarding this topic I may only ask that you do not keep spawning threads. If you do not get the answer your looking for in this second one.

If you change your mind let me know. Its not that Iam against writing a tutorial, if I did it would probably use the same verbage as the other tutorials, therefore a waste of my time.

Place the (extracted) attached ZIP file in your SFIV directory, where the EXE's are. Run the SFIV exe, if it launched SFIV press ESC to exit. Then make a shortcut and place it in the same directory your other pc game shortcuts are. Then rename the shortcut. Place the entry in the XML so it will populate on the game list.

[Alpha17x]

Thank you, that works wonderfully. Quite litterally the only piece of information I was missing was 'convert script to exe' I was under the impression that it had to be in the hyperlaunch.ahk file, which perhaps is, or isn't another way of doing it. I'll likely continue to read up on pc auto key and hyperlaunch for what info there is available, I simply hadn't read or heard anything about turning scripts into exe's, just the usage of ahk files.

[brian_hoffman]

Well, you can run an AHK file without turning it into an EXE "if" you have autohotkey installed.
Compiling to EXE ensures that if a user does not have AHK installed the script will run normally.

HS uses the Hyperlaunch.exe, a precompiled script. The source is included and can be edited (not for the faint of heart) and re-compiled.

Again this is geard toward super users.

Glad that worked out for you.

Cheers.

[QUOTE = Alpha17x; 53424] Obrigado, que funciona maravilhosamente. Quite litterally a única informação que eu estava faltando era 'script para converter exe' Fiquei com a impressão de que ela tinha que estar no arquivo hyperlaunch.ahk, o que talvez seja, ou não é outra maneira de fazê-lo. Eu provavelmente vou continuar a ler-se sobre as principais auto hyperlaunch PC e para o que há informações disponíveis, eu simplesmente não tinha lido ou ouvido alguma coisa sobre o giro scripts em exe, apenas o uso de arquivos AHK.

ola amigo vc pode me da1 ajuda entende portugues é sob o estreet fifgter 4 auto hyperlaunch PC ?

[mr_tap]

hyperspin video tutorials, that would be sweet.

[SORHP]

ok, I got the file exe located here and placed it into the Street fighter iv directory, I then made the lnk and placed it into my "pc gaming" folder in my "emulators" folder, when I execute the lnk outside of hs it works perfectly, it does not load inside hs at all, no black screen or anything when I select the game in the pc gaming wheel I created. I have all of my parameters set properly as far as I can see...

what am I missing?

Here's what I have and it works for all of my PC games (putting shortcuts in c:\Hyperspin\Emulators\PC Games\)

[exe info]
path=C:\Hyperspin\Emulators\PC Games\

userompath = false
exe=

[SORHP]

ok, so I used your settings, and still SFIV will not load, the .lnk is good, my wheel shows the game info and the theme, but when I press enter to load the game nothing happens... is there anything else I can check?

edit...

After reading through this a few times I dont think I changed your dir "pc games" to my dir "pc gaming"....
I'll try it out when I get back to my house this evening


edit ...

ok , fixed the path, still doesn't work, am I supposed to use hyperlaunch and insert something into it? my SFIV.lnk (that works perfect) is located in C:\Hyperspin\Emulators\PC Gaming\

here is my database

[sneakily1]

according to your log file, it's not finding the path to the .lnk shortcut. It's looking for a file called "SFIV.lnk" in C:\Hyperspin\Emulators\Pc Gaming thus the following in your log file.

ERROR Cannot find blah blah something C:\HyperSpin\Emulators\PC Gaming\SFIV.lnk

go to this directory and make sure your Street Fighter 4 shortcut is in there and named SFIV.lnk
because that's what hyperspin is looking for. Also make sure it's not named with a double extension (ie. SFIV.lnk.lnk) it should just say SFIV and when you right click on it, Windows will say it's a .lnk file. Hope this didn't confuse you.

[shimoda]

When you guys run SFIV, does it come up with a "pre" window asking if you want to configure controllers? Not sure how to handle this.

[sneakily1]

Mine doesn't...I can't remember because it's been a while, but I think I had it pointing to a different file to solve that problem. Instead of the launcher I think I just went straight to the exe in the folder or something. I rarely play the game

[shimoda]

Does anybody try to use the Street Fighter IV.exe under Steam\Steamapps\Common\SFIV\ ? It won't do anything by itself. If I could find a way around this controller setup screen. I imagine I could figure an ahk to select the right button. Any hints on that?

Here's the autoit spy:

[sneakily1]

I have no idea...I'm allergic to Steam. Maybe there's a way to bypass the launcher in one of the Steam configs?

[ashurax]

how do you create this file ? SFIV.lnk I don't understand thanks for this noob question !

[sneakily1]

just right click on SFIV.exe and choose "Create Shortcut"
the shortcut is a .lnk file

[ashurax]

simply thanks sneakily1 ^^

[bassslayer]

This is the only PC game I will be using (there maybe more in the future but I would want to do it this way)

I've only got one wheel (MAME) I'm using Lasheks greatest hits .xml and have a streetfighter 4 ini file in the settings folder.

Heres my exe sandwiched into my mame.xml

</game>
<game name="sfiii" index="" image="">

and my sfiv.ini

[exe info]
path=C:\Program Files\CAPCOM\STREETFIGHTERIV\
exe=sfiv.exe
parameters=
pcgame=true
winstate=HIDDEN
hyperlaunch=false


Currently the screen goes black when I go into the mame wheel There's gotta something small i'm missing, when I get it going i'll donkeyface myself.

[BadBoyBill]

You might still need the index field and name field but leave them blank. and just to be safe add all the other ones also like description , year etc..

[bassslayer]

Tried all that, didn't work, put it in the too hard basket and decided that all the time I spent setting up all the consoles would have been a waste if I did, so it's on the main wheel. Thanks anyway.

[juanchocnva]

[juanchocnva]

[Poolie68]

Hey SORHP,
I'm sure you have figured it out by now, but what i was doing wrong was i had the extension wrong.
I was using .ink instead of .lnk (DOH) works fine after that.

[codecrank]

Place the (extracted) attached ZIP file in your SFIV directory...


Thanks man, finally got around to intergrate PC games into HS. much appertained.
