When I launch a game ProjectN64 tells me "attempt to open file has failed"
Ideas?
This program works outside of HS so I am guessing there is something not right with my command line?
what version of PJ64 are you using? I think right now HS works with 1.7, but not many people have that version...
Hopefully HyperLaunch gets released soon, that should fix version specific issues like this.

yeah its because 1.6 doesn't support quotes around the rom path/name for some reason.

1.6
I will go get 1.7 and report back.

Well I did get it but seems it does not like Vista. 1.6 runs fine but 1.7 crashes. Soooo... I guess no N64 with HyperSpin for now.

yeah I had problems with 1.7 and x64, I can work on writing up a little script in autoit at some point that'll work for you to launch 1.6. I can't do it today though.

I would really appericate that.
Yeah, it seems like 1.7 would work too but it crashes. I read some other place that someone was having issues with it as well in Vista. Maybe it is Vista in general using it and maybe it is the 64 bit version... shrug
I tried all the graphic plugins as well, they all make it crash.

use 1.7.49

I don't have that version.
Does 1.7 let you map the ESC key to exit the program?
And, does anyone know of a wrapper for 1.6 that would allow it to work w HS and maybe also map the ESC key?

Hyperlaunch wont fix your issue with your build of n64 1.7.55 crashing... It also will not make 1.6 version work.. As we discussed before you need 1.7.49. Hyperlaunch will only map ESC to close the emu and return to the FE.

I am not using 1.7.55, I am using 1.6.
Guess I will have to wait and see as it seems Bill is stating otherwise.

I have hyper launch. I guess we will see.
If it doesn't, I am almost done writing a wrapper for 1.6 to work with HS. I've got it launching PN64 and loading the rom fine when passed from HS and then sending the Alt+F4 to kill it. The only thing left to do is map the ESC key. Never tried capturing a system wide key before so it's tripping me up XD . I'll be sure to post it here when it's done.

I bet it will work now. ;)
After a full day of classes/labs :P got the wrapper done.
Here it is...
Just put the 3 files anywhere you want and point your HS Nintendo 64.ini to xehn.exe instead of PN64. There is an ini file in the zip that has the path to PN64. Make sure it matches where you have it installed.
Sample of my HS Nintendo 64.ini
[exe info]
path = C:\Emulators\Nintendo 64\
rompath = D:\Nintendo 64\ROMs\
userompath = true
exe = xehn.exe
romextension = zip
parameters =
pcgame = false
pcgameextension =
winstate = HIDDEN
Works w/o any problems w 1.6 on my machine. Hope it works for everyone else.
GL HF ;)

worked for me,thanks.I read the log file and saw the z64 games it was looking for were USA but there isn`t any USA file so i renamed the working z64 file to the same as the log and it worked every time.

i was wondering why it wouldnt find the rom even though the path was correct and this fix worked like a charm thnx
I didnt want to pay $20 for 1.7

Thankyou for this great wrapper! Solved my problems, since i would otherwise have to pay for 1.7..
Although this works great, perhaps this could be solved in one the of the future releases? I dont think 1.7 will be free for public soon.

yeah thanks for the wrapper my N64 games now work very well! :)
How do your .ahk and .ini files look with regards to this addition?
