Also I'd like to thank you for making these videos. When my hyperspin build died and I decided to rebuild it I watched a couple tutorials and didn't even make it halfway through them and hunted your videos down instead. They're just as helpful and complete as they were when I first built my original setup years ago lol so thanks man I appreciate the work
Yes I knew the RocketLauncher stuff would be long even in a 3 part series. I try to be no nonsense about it and if I can teach ya to fish, it saves time in the long run
When launching RocketLauncherUI v10.1.10 for the first time, I'm getting a "Couldn't download index file, it's not possible to check for updates at this time" error message pop up. Is this ok, or is this going to mess me up if I ignore the message?
Great video.im sure I missed some stuff and will come back.one place files was not set as default file extentions zip|rar?????? I think I got but is hard to read some of the text in video. as far as controllers do you have anything for x arcade tank stick. another stupid question. I have roms but no idea what emulators to use.most show green for mame202b.i know they are old.I bought used setup but haven't been able to get running by following other information so far.
I know this is off topic but i need help. I keep getting the same error every time i try and stasrt a game. Its Custom_joy_Names Enabled is set to true and no value was found. Please help me fix this .
Great detailed videos, I have an arcade cabinet and decided to remap the controls for GameCube thru dolphin and Dreamcast thru redream to my arcade sticks and buttons. When I go back into hyperspin I can’t select any game in those 2 systems. So I know I reset a wrong button. Is there a way in hyper spin or rocketlauncher to reset or set a launch game button anywhere. I have no clue where to go in either emulator or rocketlauncher or hyperspin. Any help would be appreciated
For hyperspin navigation go to hyperhq, controls tab For emulator control change go to the emulator controls options Furthermore if neither of these changes for mapper changes got to rocket launcher>mapper>joytokey or xpadder. You should have a folder for hyperspin and GameCube and a p1 and p2 profile.
ok, well, never mind, i had to install VS 2010 and 2012 and it seems to work. a google search of the autohotkey error led me to a RL form post. All is well.
I need help …….rlauncher has been working fine up until now, audits are green and upon pressing launch , message displays that it cant find path /game utilities. I haven’t changed anything , I’m stuck and trying to get back to Metroid other ZM. Any advice is appreciated.
Does the 7z exe have to be under module extensions? I use 7zip regularly for a ton of different things and have it installed under program files on my hard drive can I just point to the exe there or should I drop another copy under module extensions?
I also use 7z outside of all this. By default if you have the latest rl, it will show up there in the extensions, point all things to the set up never outside so you don’t have to hunt. Point yo the one in extensions
Is there a way to change the load time? Sometimes I trigger a pc game from hyperspin attraction II and it take about 10 seconds to load but the hypersin wheel returns within like 5 seconds and then the game loads and I have the hyperspin video playing in the background. Also can I disable the animations when I am in a console moving from game to game? Thank you.
@@PlanetGeekdom Thank you so much! Do you know how to disable the animations when looking for a game? Sometimes, there is skulls, explosions, slime, etc. I'd like to disable those.
Hell all, i just started this whole set up process. i have the latest version of RL and right off the bat i tried to 'configure hotkeys' i.e. add a two button combo to exit a game. and got an error message. AutoHotkey32.dll, error - 2. Any ideas?
Last question. Do I need to setup all the controls immediately? Currently I'm using a PS5 controller with RetroArch but once my hyperspin build is complete I'm going to hook up an xarcade tankstick and some retro controllers with USB adapter cables so I was waiting to setup the controls until everything is done. Will I run into problems if I put off editing all the control settings until the last step? I'm still not sure what all controllers I'm going to use so it would be easier for me waiting on those
@@PlanetGeekdom thanks. I actually found the discord last night after asking my last question and chatted with someone for a while about our builds and retro consoles and stuff. I figured out the art thing too somehow in the rocketlauncherui tab the very last tab under front ends it got switched to rocketlauncher as my default frontend which was causing the problem.
Can you make a video how to fix the command line problem on rocket launcher, please, it was working fine until I connected the internet cable, and start appearing the command line box when I run a game...
Actually I guess I DO have one more question lol sorry. When under plugins when I try to select any of the labels I get a pop-up saying "this frontend doesn't support the selected artwork type" and won't let me change it at all. I'm using hyperspin 1.5.1 is it maybe because it's a newer version of hyperspin than used in the video? Or is there a way to fix the error? I selected hyperspin as my frontend in the drop downs in rocketlauncher as shown earlier in the video by the way
Ok, next issue. At the top of the screen, my RLUI says [FE = RocketlauncherUI | plugin = RocketLauncherUI] even though i have Hyperspin.exe path for default fe, and default plugin has Hyperspin. Basically when i get to SETTINGS, PLUGINS, can't add any labels - and get the error "this frontend doesn't support the selected artwork type" - any ideas? Whole day shot - no closer to getting this running.
@@PlanetGeekdom- I got it working. i was going step by step and people should actually go to the Rocketlauncher ui tab first and make sure hyperspin is checked as default and active. I had not checked that prior to trying to set up the plugins tab. it was just a little out of sequence. When you set the plugin on the first settings tab (after setting the path to Hyperspon) it does not change the RLUI tab - not sure if previous versions did that or not. Anyhow, fixed now.
i am having trouble getting into a hyperspin Mame game. i can load into Hyperspin, get into the program. select an emulator. choose a game from that emulator. but I cannot open the game to play. I press enter but no response. the game doesn't play. can anyone please help me.
I have an issue on the Setting > Plugins > Artwork, every option I click on e.g Logo Labels comes up with "This frontend doesnt support the selected artwork type". Im new to all this so any and all help is very much appreciated.
@@PlanetGeekdom At the time I was just following the video and opening and closing menu's to see what everything did, but am I right in sayin that menu is only available to use in each wheel? Edit: to clarify I was on the global wheel
Hello,Thanks for sharing! I thought I had everything followed but I get this error when I try to select a game I have a ROM for. I am stumped and could use some help.....The message is: "There was an error waiting for the window "ahk_class MAME".Please check you have the correct version emulator installed for this module,followed any notes in the module,and have the emulator working outside your Frontend first.Also,turn off Fade to see if you are hiding your problem" I'm running Mame 0217b 64bit on a Win 10 laptop.The RocketLauncher Ver. is @t. Roms came from Retrostic(after a Google search for free legal roms) Any ideas are greatly appreciated,and again,Thanks for sharing,or I wouldn't be this close!
I didnt think youre supposed to put your rocket launcher folder inside youre hyperspin folder? Every other video says not to do that. curious about that. This vid is def different than the last few i been watching. Hyperspin used to be so easy now rocketlauncher makes it much more complicated
Just my .02 some of you may want to get rid of a lot of the game info that stuff seems pretty tedious. Pretty much all you need is Wheels for systems, games and title art & preview video. The rest is kind of a headache and doesn't really add to the experience for games you'll be playing a lot. For games you won't play a lot you won't be getting the time back invested or space on drive etc.
The game info is generally automated and displayed on the loading screen of rocket launcher but even then it’s choosy what you want to display. Generally speaking though I agree
Hyperspin looks great but what a waste of time and energy. Sorry but this guy does not know how to cut shit short. I hate how rocket launcher totes as the only way to play hyperspin. There are easier ways. Why is launchbox not this complicated.
It’s definitely an opinion yes. Generally launchbox users are less technical folks and don’t mind a cookie cutter feel. I can say for one that my hyperspin set up kicks my launchbox set up in the pants 100 fold over. It’s superior 99 to 1. The video is long yes because it covers the entire gambit of rlui. If it’s too much for ya bro, go launchbox. It’s not a bad frontend but it is a cookie cutter with its own problems. If you want to give hyperspin a go, check out my set up hyperspin in order playlist. Reach out if you have questions

Long but well worth Watching. Went though each step said just what we need to do and on to the next step. Well Done Thank You

Ahhhhhh the loud intro from hell! No wonder this is called Hyperspin!
Lol ya the sound level sets a few videos in
Are you going to do a daemon tools set up tutorial?
Yep that will be coming in a few videos! Thank you
If you go into setting folder and global emulators ini file, delete the example and all systems will show up and there supported file extensions..
That’s cool, I did not know this!
You mentioned you talked about installing joy2key in another video but didn’t mention which video it was.
ua-cam.com/video/qRd3XDF_cZQ/v-deo.html
Lots of modules are not working and every single one says : startmodule() not found ExitModule() not found CloseProcess Label not found
Are you on the latest RocketLauncher, my suspicion is you are not yet
I don't have systems in the left tab.
Sounds like you are missing your database folder
When launching RocketLauncherUI v10.1.10 for the first time, I'm getting a "Couldn't download index file, it's not possible to check for updates at this time" error message pop up. Is this ok, or is this going to mess me up if I ignore the message?
Ya the update server is down I think, you may have to get it manually at the moment if it doesn’t come through

AutoHotkey32.dll, error - 2. Any ideas?
This means you are missing a dependency AHK needs to communicate with windows. This is usually the VC++ 2010 package
Look up autohotkey on google and download and install autohotkey

What type of extensions are your artwork? They need to be png or swf
Or flv or mp4
