Hi All,

I've just set up Hyperspin and RL to work with Mame, but I have a problem launching games from Hyperspin.

1 in 50 times it works fine, but 98% of the time it just appears to do nothing...

Looking at the log, it shows that it is passing RL the command:

Code: 
01:39:23 PM |  Launching Game 
01:39:23 PM |  Using HyperLaunch
01:39:23 PM |  Getting HyperLaunch path 
01:39:23 PM |  HyperLaunch located at C:\Hyperspin\HyperLaunch.exe
01:39:23 PM |  Running HyperLaunch.exe 
01:39:23 PM |  HyperLaunch Command Line is: C:\Hyperspin\HyperLaunch.exe "MAME" "mshvsf"
01:39:38 PM |  Loading Main Menu.xml

but nothing happens. It just sits on Hyperspin.
However, everything IS set up correctly - if i run that command in cmd then it works great!

Any help appreciated!
Thanks


EDIT: After testing it again it seems that it doesnt ALWAYS work in cmd or run - it will work sometimes but not others... it's almost as if RL is being choosy about when it runs or not
After looking in the RL log, it seems like the below is the relevant bit... something to do with WinWait WinClose maybe?

Okay, i think i've realised the issue.

HyperLaunch.exe (with the AHK icon) remains in the background when I escape out of Mame. It never exits. If I manually close it, the next game loads fine, but if I don't then I have issues...

Any thoughts?

You should use Rocketlauncher.exe, not Hyperlaunch.exe ;)
You can change this in one of the HyperSpin ini's.

So... I'm not. At least i shouldnt be:

Code: 
[Main]
Menu_Mode=multi
Single_Mode_Name=MAME
Enable_Exit_Menu=true
Enable_Exit=true
Exit_Default=yes
Exit_Action=exit
Version=1.0.0.0
Last_System=MAME
Hyperlaunch_Path=C:\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe

I just assumed that RL used HL still...

So my settings.ini is right, so why is it still using that?

Just a guess, but did you point your frontend to Hyperlaunch. exe instead of HyperSpin.exe?

I'm not at home right now, but I can check this later.

Solved it!

I was using the wrong version of Hyperspin! Doh!

Using 1.4 now and all good...

For some reason it wanted my XML in the RL directory too, but moved there so all good :)

This is strange. I have exactly the settings and this is my log:

08:13:16 PM |  Bye!

It's a long shot, but I have deleted HyperLaunch.exe. Perhaps this will work?

Another question: Do you use HyperSpin 1.4 beta?
