HyperMarquee

[DrZhark]

Hi Antos

 

I'm finding it hard to explain, so I'll use an example

 

I'm playing Street Fighter 2 on MAME, and I have the SF2 logo displayed on my marquee screen, I have a second artwork with the special moves / instructions for that game that I would love to be able to invoke at will.  

If I select the option on HyperMarquee to switch artworks automatically, HM will be doing it on its own and I have no control over it. I would prefer being able to cycle through the artwork when I chose to and here comes the hard part: while in game. 

 

Is it possible to add an option to switch artwork files when Hyperpause is invoked?  Or any other way?

 

Thanks for considering the request

[Antos]

DrZhark, this is interesting, I will look at this when I have a chance. I am on holidays lately, I will get back to you when end of August, beginning of September...

Hello!

 

HyperMarquee new version 0.4.5 is coming soon. (likely Monday August 31st)

 

This upgrade will consists of an increase compatibility of HyperSpin Theme display within HM. I.e. 95% of themes will display the same, 4% with minor differences and 1% with more or less success.

- Supports all artwork display (artwork 1-4, overlays, frames...)

- Supports all videos (.flv and .mp4)

- Supports video transitions (.flv and .mp4)

- Supports overlays (images and 3 layers frame/border)

- Support Z index

- Support 2D rotation

- And more...

 

NB: Other than videos (game & transitions), it do not support image animation and macromedia files.

Cheers,

Antos

I was thinking of trying to use Hyper Marquee with GameEx if possible but was wondering if I can display Hyper Maquee using a command line and if so what should that command line look like to try and test it to see if it will work.

 

I seen the videos but for some reason I never successfully got it to work with Hyperspin or RocketLauncher and thought maybe I can try it with GameEx.

if you seen eds, you could use the parameter portion as the client to do so, it will request a little play on your part to get it to work

Hello!

The new HyperMarquee version 0.4.5 is now ready for download.

If you are using Hyperspin Themes within HyperMarquee, this upgrade is for you.

New functionalities within Beta Version 0.4.5

This upgrade consists of an increased compatibility displaying Hyperspin themes within HyperMarquee. I.e. 95% of themes will now display the same, 4% with minor differences and 1% with more or less success. Many hours have been put into this. Themes within HM are particularly interesting for systems when no original dedicated Marquee exists or when the marquee quality is too low.

To install, just replace your old HyperMarquee.exe with the new HyperMarquee.exe (beta version 0.4.5). No full install needed.

NB: Other than videos (game video & transitions), HM do not support image and macromedia animation.

​

Cheers,

Antos

I wanted to follow up on my post (557). I had a little bit of time to poke around with HM/EDS today and it seems as if the only close events that work are 2 and 4. This is on 0.4.5 BTW. Can anyone confirm if any other event close filters are working for them?

 

Thanks!

[sevenseal]

those events are based on hyperspin only... its doesn't make call for all events

[Antos]

To trizzev,

 

I did some quick test and you are right, the close event #3, do not work. This is a bug and it will be fixed sooner than later. Thanks for reporting this. I will also look at event #4.

 

Antos.

NEWS UPDATE - 2015/08/31 EDS (Beta Release version 0.7.2) is now ready for download.

 

Bug fix: This is a bug fixed (please test) reported by Trizzev where some closing filter events (3,4 and probably others) where not closing the remote application as expected.

To install the new beta version 0.7.2, please copy and replace files included with the patch. No need to do a full install if you are already running version 0.7.1.

​

NB: This post belongs to the EDS forum, please ensure that communication is posted within the proper forum.

Antos:

 

I installed the patch and it works great now. Thanks for the fix! 

 

Yeah, this string started with what I perceived as a HyperMarquee issue, but transitioned into an EDS issue. I'll segregate them to the proper forums best I can next time.

 

Thanks to both you and sevenseal.

I am a MAME veteran but new to Hyperspin and have jumped in head first. I am currently testing the Hyper Marquee app with Hyperspin 1.4 and wow! It's what I've been wanting for years! It seems to work great except I have one problem that seems to occur quite frequently. When I close Hyperspin, the Marquee windows remain open. I am using Hyper Marquee .4.5 in conjunction with the EDS .7.2 program. I read about some similar issues happening to others but I'm not sure if a solution was discovered. I'm new around here and still getting used to, well everything. Awesome app, keep up the great work.

I have the same issue, i installed the new update yesterday though, so I don't know if it fixed it.

Make you are using latest eds and that should solve your problem, if not you would need to look more closely to what you have set as your close events on eds

Please check to see if your eds is function properly by sending in a few example directly from hyperspin database... if not your artwork/database are label the same to work

Hello! I just installed Hypersearch and did a search for a common game on many platforms, Tetris.

Hyper Marquee crashes every time i step forward in that list. (Not just for tetris, but any Hypersearch generated list).

 

Would you wanna take a look at what might be wrong? Can I help in any way to make the bug easier to find?

Thanks for the offer, yes I would like your support to fix this.

I don't have hypersearch but I may install it to reproduce the bug. I will get back to you with a small list of information that I would like from you. Thanks again!

Great! Thanks!

Hi guys!

Thanks, talk to you soon.

Nice job Antos BTW. I finally was able to get hyper marquee working the way i want but I still have a couple bugs. I was able to put in a hyperspin logo as default background (like for startup and when no image present) and it will show the console or the game that is played. Well most systems work ok but when i try the NES and i think one other system it displays the proper video game on the marquee to match the wheel but once the game launches it seems toi grab another background or theme and puts that on the screen instead. It is also not centered just thrown in there.

could you please make a video of the issue so that we could help troubleshoot this?

Altough I am a hyperspin noob (<Month) I figured out a solution for this just now. I extended my displays as i normally do so in the monitor settings it was to the right of monitor 1. I launched a game in fullscreen just now from rocketlauncher and noticed it threw a piece of the rocketlauncher program onto the 2nd monitor (It pushes to the right). So I went into the display settings and was able to put the 2nd monitor above monitor 1. I then moved the hyper marquee into the new window and launched HS. Now it works perfectly ! I assume some systems push things to the right or left when they are launched because they don't fit on the desktop anymore but now that my marquee is on top it don't matter anymore.
