HyperSearch Open Source

[mccorkled]

@pietie can you please advise on alternate artwork across multiple systems?

[mccorkled]

This is not workingggggg.... I think I have tried just about every combination.

"Misc": {
    "EnableGameVideos": true,
    "ShowSystemImagesOnFilter": true,
    "ShowSystemImagesOnResults": true,
    "ShowWheelImagesOnResults": true,
    "AlternativeSystemWheelImagePath": null,
    "AlternativeGameWheelSourceFolder": "Z:\\Hyperspin\\Media\\Amstrad GX4000\\Images\\Alt","Z:\\Hyperspin\\Media\\Atari 2600\\Images\\Alt"
    "GenreWheelImageLocations": null
  }
}

 "Misc": {
    "EnableGameVideos": true,
    "ShowSystemImagesOnFilter": true,
    "ShowSystemImagesOnResults": true,
    "ShowWheelImagesOnResults": true,
    "AlternativeSystemWheelImagePath": null,
    "AlternativeGameWheelSourceFolder": true, "Z:\\Hyperspin\\Media\\Amstrad GX4000\\Images\\Alt",
    "GenreWheelImageLocations": null
  }
}

"Misc": {
    "EnableGameVideos": true,
    "ShowSystemImagesOnFilter": true,
    "ShowSystemImagesOnResults": true,
    "ShowWheelImagesOnResults": true,
    "AlternativeSystemWheelImagePath": null,
    "AlternativeGameWheelSourceFolder": true, 'Z:\\Hyperspin\\Media\\Amstrad GX4000\\Images\\Alt'
    "GenreWheelImageLocations": null
  }
}

"Misc": {
    "EnableGameVideos": true,
    "ShowSystemImagesOnFilter": true,
    "ShowSystemImagesOnResults": true,
    "ShowWheelImagesOnResults": true,
    "AlternativeSystemWheelImagePath": null,
    "AlternativeGameWheelSourceFolder": true, Z:\\Hyperspin\\Media\\Amstrad GX4000\\Images\\Alt   
    "GenreWheelImageLocations": null
  }
}

Judging by the colors, this last one is right but adding "" around it breaks it.

It takes a single folder name value, e.g. "Alt"

Is there an official release with the updates that you have made recently?

Having them all in 1 folder makes if very difficult to obtain missing artwork using a program such as HyperT00ls

I think an awesome feature to be added into HyperSearch would be a random game selection. I don't know if it would interfere with the intended purpose of HyperSearch, but I think it would be a really cool option.

Having them all in 1 folder makes if very difficult to obtain missing artwork using a program such as HyperT00ls

 

It is one folder per system though so it's not everything in 1 folder. If you have these in an entirely different location (e.g. different drive) you can always look at creating an NTFS symbolic link (junction) between SystemName\Alt and this other location.

[pietie]

Is there an official release with the updates that you have made recently?

 

 

Yeah I've decided to release on github : https://github.com/pietie/HyperSearch/releases

Could you perhaps edit the download entries on this board to point to that link or delete them entirely?

[pietie]

 

Hi, 

hypersearch in my pc not work. I use Xp sp3

 

Hmm  I think this has come up before but I can't find the old post now. Try this, edit Styles.xaml and go to line 266

At the end of line you'll find

 

Text="{Binding (GameList).Count, StringFormat={}{0:N0}}"

 

Take out the StringFormat part to end up with

 

Text="{Binding (GameList).Count}"

 

See if that gets you further

[Dime333]

Thanks, Pietie. I can't check right now, but is there a changelog in the download.

They are on the same drive. Can you PLEASEEE give a CLEAR example of how to setup a folder per system. I posted this before showing a bunch of ways I tried and can never get it to work.

Did you check the wiki link I provided last time?

I'm not sure if I can make it any more clear

        // If not specified uses the default Hyperspin\Media\[System]\Images\Wheel
        // If specified uses Hyperspin\Media\[SystemName]\Images\[AlternativeGameWheelSourceFolder]
        "AlternativeGameWheelSourceFolder": "AltWheelImages",

So...if you configured it as above HyperSearch will search in

\Hyperspin\Media\Mame\Images\AltWheelImages
\Hyperspin\Media\Super Nintendo Entertainment System\Images\AltWheelImages
\Hyperspin\Media\Nintendo Entertainment System\Images\AltWheelImages
...and so forth

This is currently all that is supported. If you do not have your alt folder as a sub folder you either need to move it there OR have a look at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx

 

This will allow you to, for example, point Mame\Images\AltWheelImages to C:\MyOtherFolder\MAME\Whatever

Is there a changelog somewhere? I'd love to see what's new since the last release.

Yes I checked the wiki but it did not help, that is why I asked for a very specific example.

"Misc": {

"ShowSystemImagesOnFilter": true,
"ShowSystemImagesOnResults": true,
"ShowWheelImagesOnResults": true,
"AlternativeSystemWheelImagePath": null,
"AlternativeGameWheelSourceFolder":
\Hyperspin\Media\Super Nintendo Entertainment System\Images\Alt,
\Hyperspin\Media\Nintendo Entertainment System\Images\Alt,
"GenreWheelImageLocations": null

I also tried it with out the . after each path and it still does not working. It throws an error as soon as I open Hypersearch.

As soon as I remove the alternate wheel path the error goes away.

"Misc": {
"AlternativeGameWheelSourceFolder":
\Hyperspin\Media\Super Nintendo Entertainment System\Images\Alt,
\Hyperspin\Media\Nintendo Entertainment System\Images\Alt,
"GenreWheelImageLocations": null

 

I did give you a very specific example. Use this as is:

 

"AlternativeGameWheelSourceFolder": "Alt"

 

It is just a folders name, nothing more. It is NOT a path. So no drive letter, no slashes no colons....just a simple name.

[pietie]

Is there a changelog somewhere? I'd love to see what's new since the last release.

 

Not at present. The main reason for the new release was to clean up the project and make it open source - so I decided to make it v2 because of that. You can check the first couple of posts in this thread for some of the changes that are new...but mainly they are:

 

• Built-in UI for changing settings
• Input settings are no longer pulled from Hyperspin.
• Various bug fixes, especially around the Minimize/Reopen feature

 

I also had a Steam Big Picture like keyboard planned but have not been able to finish it

[pietie]

Is this the official release now?

Great I got it working. There needs to be a , after "Alt" so even more specifically... "Alt",

will do tonight

Hi,

 

Just wanted to say that I love this program.  However, since using the recent 2.x beta, I can't seem to enter characters in the search window using the mouse anymore.  Has this feature been disabled?  Ideally, I'd like to just be able to click once with the mouse like a tablet instead of double-clicking but I can't even use the mouse anymore to input searches since the most recent build.  Anyone else have this issue?

You have the mouse turned off in the settings.
