[neo.snk]

i never tought this was gonna be so hard to config a front end, maximus easy to config, gameex easy to config, mala easy to config. my question is why the config is so hard, i already try to config mame and i dont get any games to work. dont know why i been patien but im to the point where ill delete hyperspin from my pc and never comeback to the forum and sorry for what im sayin but i hope that u have a good support team.:banghead:


thank you

[Dazz]

Your descriptions says nothing about what's happening exactly. Mame is extremely easy to setup in HyperSpin. What version of Mame are you trying to run? http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=77&Itemid=87

[BadBoyBill]

Ya its about 5 steps to get mame running, not sure why thats very hard.

[ACE]

The newly designed 'Docs' tab at the top of this site is very straightforward and helpful in my opinion. Don't give up. I too, have tried all those frontends, and Hyperspin is by far the best. You'll agree after "getting it".

[neo.snk]

games are not showin in the frontend, i was checkin some comment that i have to move all my emulator to hyper folder i did all the steps to setup mame and still nothing, even try to setup nintendo and nothing. hyperspin is in the c:\hyperspin and mame is in D:\mame\mame.exe and nothing....... about the best well the intro is pretty cool and the wheel thing but when it comes to config and setup emulator so far the best i know is gameex, hyperspin its cool but like i said im to the point of break where bryan hoffman when you need him he help me alot with gameex

[Garebear911]

I had no idea Mame even existed till a few months ago. Hyperspin was my first front end and I was able to set up Mame in like five minutes with zero knowledge about anything. All you gotta do is tell HyperHQ where Mame is and all your roms and that's it basically.

[neo.snk]

ready did the it work with gameex dont know why doesnt work with hyperspin

[BadBoyBill]

games are not showin in the frontend

What exactly do you mean by this, your not being very detailed, because by default installation, without doing any work at all , no setup or anything and simply running HS, HyperSpin does show all mame games in the mame wheel.

Are you getting a blank screen or something, cuz thats what it sounds like your saying when you say games dont show up. Is there not a wheel there? When you try to launch a game what does the log file say?

Are you getting a blanks screen when you go into the mame wheel?, I think I asked that in the last post.

[ACE]

WHat exactly do u see from launch of hyperspin until you receive your problem. be specific, and we'll have u running.

[neo.snk]

i dont get any black screen everything runs fine til i choose mame from the emulator wheel i get the list of the games but i cant play them, i dont know if been specific everything work fine with hyperspin but cant play the games i see the list but they dont launch

[koolbrez67]

what mame rom set are you using. The Xml file that comes with the new hs is .136 . what version of mame are you using.

[neo.snk]

rom set 137

[BadBoyBill]

That shouldnt matter to much really , try turning on HyperLaunch under your mame settings and try to launch the game, you should either see a pop up error or something in the log file telling you why your game wont run. Post your log file results here after you hit the enter key to try and launch a game.

[neo.snk]

usage: HyperLaunch.ahk/exe"System Name" "Rom Name" , lol about the hijack thing that the error u r lookin for. uhh another thing im running windows 7 can the be a problem

[Dred]

I have the MAME 0.137 romset and its working fine.. only took me a few seconds. Here are steps i took to get it working. you don' have to follow them but they may help you.

How i got started.
1. downloaded hyperspin 1.0 and 1.1 patch and extracted them D:\hyperspin on my computer
2. created a folder called emulators inside hyperspin and then created a folder inside that called MAME
3. copied my command line version of mame 0.137 (recompiled for no nag screen+hiscore support) ran mame right away to make sure it loaded.
4. I got an error saying no rompath. So i typed mame -cc to create mame.ini and edited that to make sure the rompath was correct. which it then loaded and worked flawlessly
5. ran hyperhq and under wheel settings selected mame and setup emulator and rompath. also configured my joystick
6. ran hyperspin picked a game and it worked flawlessly with no nag screen and using the default database hyperspin came with.


This is for BBB i don't know if this is a bug it was easy to fix but thought i let you know in case you didn't.

The only error i got was when i set the hyperhq parameter to .\ instead of d:\ and it ended up telling me rompath d:\hyperspin\hyperspin\emulators\roms did not exist. All i had to do was delete the extra hyperspin in hyperhq but since it would not let me do this. I just went to the settings folder in hyperspin and edited mame.ini and fixed it really quick.
no big deal thought i let you know.

[BadBoyBill]

usage: HyperLaunch.ahk/exe"System Name" "Rom Name" , lol about the hijack thing that the error u r lookin for. uhh another thing im running windows 7 can the be a problem

No, in HyperHQ under your mame settings you will see a checkbox for HyperLaunch, check that, then try running a game. After you try running a game post the contents of your log file here.

[neo.snk]

what u know it work with the hyperlaunch mode, so from now on i gotta use hyperlaunch instead of normal mode i got it workin thank

[neo.snk]

mame is running great without a problem thanks guys, but im having problems with nintendo im using jnes and it said that is not supported.

[Dazz]

For NES; Nestopia is the emulator that's pre-configured in the HyperLaunch script.

[neo.snk]

ok thank you ill check with guys. where can i find the list of emulator that support hyperspin

[Garebear911]

ok thank you ill check with guys. where can i find the list of emulator that support hyperspin

http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5598&highlight=supported+emulator

it about halfway down the page, it's from the old version but still applys.

SEARCHHHH :)

[neo.snk]

im havin issues with nestopia, but you know what i give up im only runnin mame on hyperspin and for the rest of my emulator ill just use gameex. thanks anyway

[Dazz]

What issue are you having with Nestopia? It's by far the best emulator out for NES right now and seems to have a great compatibility/playability rate.

[EvilDindon]

Is nestopia compatible with 15kHz monitors ?

Arcadevga or soft15kHz @ 256X240 ?

[neo.snk]

i got it working i had to disable the UAC on windos 7

[Dazz]

i got it working i had to disable the UAC on windos 7Yeah, I think disabling UAC and also telling all of your emulators to run as Admin seems to be the trick with Windows 7.

[neo.snk]

yeah i totally forgot that, i just windows xp for a long time that its hard to work with windows 7. i only had problem with nestopia all other runs well, already downloading all the cat, box etc.......

[Dazz]

Cool, it's good to see that you haven't completely written HyperSpin off.

[neo.snk]

one more question i got another problem lol, i know that they gonna tell me to search jajajajaja lol. what kind of games do this support with nestopia, like tosec, no intro ?. i got the emulator runnin but it tell me that cant find the game

[Dazz]

HyperSpin uses No-Intro for all cart based systems that have No-Intro dats for.

Why do we use No-Intro?
"Often there are more versions of the same ROM dump, but most of them are garbage, some examples may include: bad dumps, hacks, fakes, overdumps, underdumps, and so on. "No-Intro" lists only the best available ROM; it must be a full dump with no faults and no changes to the file, basically just the ROMS that are the closest as possible to the original licensed cartridges. "

[neo.snk]

okis dokis im getting it thanks alot dazz

[neo.snk]

help !!!!!!!!!!!!! im havin trouble with hyperspin sayin that cant find the roms i post the issue in some other thread, check all the setting and switch the filter from nes to zip and still having the same problem. i know i been a pain in the *** but hyperspin its a lil dificult for me than others FE. f*** this you can keep you FE and the donation this fu**** things sucks and alot bug the support sucks even more wait for 4 hours already this are the reason ill stay loyal to gameex even freekin 3d arcade is easier to config i wount waste my time any more i did everything by the book and still have problem im uninstall hyperspin and delete this site from my bookmark

Thank You.... yeah right im so piss right know

are you serious? this programme is free!!
im a newbie to hyperspin, and looking forward to getting it running on my cab, im computer literate yet am finding it confusing, but its just a matter of reading the docs, and having patience. im sure it will be worth it!

its quite a mammoth task setting up all your emus, paths, getting all the art and themes and wheels working, and getting it all perfect is time confusing and slightly challenging but im enjoying the quest for the perfect FE and gaming experience. And call me sick but the compiling and configuring is all part of the mission :) maybe you've just got to have that perfectionist personality, where having one piece of missing game art is annoying :)

i love it either way, and neo geo if your just looking for quick gaming fix, just run the emu as a standalone!!

anyway, greetings people.
1st post and its almost a rant lol!

[volumetric]

3d arcade is easier to config

Thats the funniest thing I've heard all week (and i just watched 2 new episodes of futurama), dont get me wrong, i love 3d arcade, but try and do anything with an emulator that doesn't support CLI, and you got trouble mister. One of the reasons i use HS rather than gameEX/MALA/Maximus/AtomicFE is due to the fact that set up is so much more straight forward than ANY of these (Also Hyperpin looks a hell of a lot better). It is also more flexible allowing for more (official and unofficial) supported emulators than most other FE's. I still have 3d arcade on my system, but i gave up maintaining it when i hit a brick wall trying to set up SFIV. A task that took me about 2 mins of searching on the HS forum for an answer.
I've found that when i describe my problem adequately on this forum, i get an answer pretty dam quick. Its one of the best communities on the web in my opinion, and im seeing it more and more as i delve into hyperpin.
I can see people trying to help you. But you describe your problems poorly and then blame the posters who cant fix them. I do my best to answer anyone ones questions here, i'll even re-type large chunks of the docs to answer questions if they are asked politely. But when i see someone swearing and acting like a jerk, the last thing im going to do is help them. I would say that if you like gameEX, stick to gameEX. It sounds like its the perfect FE for you, and then you wont have to put up with hyperspins difficult setup, or incompetent forums. Apologies to any regulars who might feel this is a little strong, but this is the second or third time recently that i've come across someone bagging HS (and its forum dwellers) without justification and to be frank, its starting to s**t me.

[BadBoyBill]

wait for 4 hours

What do you expect us to be at your beckon call 24 hours a day? We have normal lives and normal jobs and this is not commercial software where we are obligated to support you, we provide support on our own free time and will. Donations are welcomed here but thats all it is ,a donation, it is not forced on you and everything can be freely downloaded from the site for the most part. And in case people are wondering why im not answering ever single support request, its because I'm busy programming on the free time I have to fix the existing bugs and filling feature requests. The docs section covers what you need to do to get going and theres lots of great guys here that provide support also that dont even have to.

Sorry but the issue your facing is a simple one, you can only get the missing rom message if.

1. Your rompath is wrong
2. Your database name doesnt match your romname.

This is pretty simple and not a hard thing to figure out. HyperSpin doesnt know or care what roms you have, it only knows your database, it doesnt care about your roms. It tries to launch files names in your database in the path you specify for your roms. Thats how HS works. If you dont have the filename thats in your database or your path isnt correct then you will always get that message. Managing your roms isnt what HS does, you can use other third party tools like clrmamepro or romcenter and even HyperList to manage your roms and create databases. HS uses the output of these programs to build your interface and launch your games.

Send me your paypal address and I will send your donation back plus some to cover the paypal fee.

Why are you guys responding to a 3 month old thread?

[ICEFIR3]

Hilarious... Soooo funny when ppl complain about free things...

[jeepguy81]

complaining about free things in broken english, just makes me laugh

[guitarman84]

Don't hate on Hyperspin. Though it is definetly not as easy as Maximus it is ten thousand times cooler in the end. Most everthing is about file structure and making sure your $hit is labeled properly. I was a huge maximus fan until I saw the first youtube video of Hyper now I am never going back. So freakin addicting and you can either spend time configuring or making art or videos or scripting to make it the way you want. So don't hate, appreciate. I heart BBB.
