We are proud to announce the release of RocketLauncher v1.0!
In this release, all instances of HyperLaunch have been replaced with RocketLauncher. Also what was once HyperLaunchHQ is now known as RocketLauncherUI and HyperPause is now known as Pause. As you can imagine, this was a very intensive change. Changing all references from one name to another takes a very long time to do it right. Certainly never want to do that again.
In case you haven't realized, the url here is now www.rlauncher.com. The old domain will still bring you here for awhile until I decide to expire it. So update your bookmarks.
With this release, most of you will be happy that GIT is no more. You no longer need to be bothered installing another application to use RocketLauncher. I thank you all for putting up with it for the time until we could develop a proper method to get you updates. RocketLauncherUI now has a built-in updater that brolly did an excellent job with. Each time you launch RocketLauncherUI, and you are online, RocketLauncherUI will inform you if there are any new changes you need to download. All updates are handled internal to RocketLauncherUI. GIT will be taken down very shortly.
So going forward, please use RL when talking about RocketLauncher and RLUI when talking about RocketLauncherUI. If you use HL, we will assume you are talking about an older version, which is not supported here.
To ease the transition from HyperLaunch v3.x to RocketLauncher, I created a Transition tool to do all the work for you. You will also find the links to the initial upgrade pack there as well. Please see this guide on how to use them. It's only a few clicks and you will be all set to use RocketLauncher:

I'd also like to thank Warham and Marxkemp from IRC that helped me test this new release.

Please see below for the changes in this release:
General updates:
- Many modules that did not have "Hide Emulator" support now do
- DaemonTools is now known as VirtualDrive so future support can be added to other applications in the future
- BetaBrite_Params setting changed default to "usb {AUTO}%FRONTEND%" which will replace FRONTEND with the plugin name so it can be used across any FE
- Fixed a bug when ServoStik_Enabled & Hide_Cursor were set per-game, would take affect for other games
- Fixed direct launching system selection not showing due to new system xml structure changes
- Fixed bug in direct launch where it would show values that were not system names in drop down box
- Exit_Script_Key default value changed from Q+S to PageUp+PageDown
- Fade_Layer_4_W (Animated Image - Image Width) default changed from 128 to 200 because it was making the Rating image too narrow on default Fade
- Fade_Layer_4_X (Animated Image - Animation X) default changed from 1792|952 to 1715|952 so the animated image would be on screen by default
- Fade_Layer_4_Y (Animated Image - Animation Y) default changed from 891|1596 to 720|1596 so the animated image would be on screen by default
- SaveProperties changed so it does not cause delays and only writes to HDD once.
- Added systemDbName as it comes from the Front End in case media needs to be loaded from that name when an alternate systen name is mapped
- PacDrive and DXwnd file checks moved into their functions and only verify existance when those features are used.
- Added ability to trigger ScriptError w/o closing the module which can let the module handle errors and exiting properly from its environment
- Now automatically copies example inis over to their working versions when CheckFile() is used to check their existence. Note, this is not used on example module inis because those inis are never required.
