Maybe I will make a video and upload it on youtube to be more specific.I've noticed that some games like QFG games need some tinkering to get working well, eg. So the MSDOS spanish frontend I mentioned before, came with its own media and art, which it worked well for me. Even though I tried to find a good DOS media but no luck at all. Regarding MS-DOS, I had that collection with thousand of games and the media that I had was poor, so I decided not to put hours of work into this. Maybe I just burned out from many hours of work on this, but I still enjoy it. well, I think everyone here at some point, has done some tedious work like that to make HS work as one wants. I don't have FTP so it's either ALL of DOS, get one from youtube, or make my own. Oh, and plus I have to go find a video clip somewhere. That's for EVERY ONE OF THEM lol Luckily I won't be doing many I don't think. *breathe* and THEN test it to make sure it runs, create a custom xpadder profile, grab some box-art, edit boxart to clean and fit right, boot up hyperspin, test the game. It's a tedious process though, add the game to the XML, extract it from the iso, extract the zip file to a folder, inspect the folder (because SOME are floppy images, and some are already copies of an installation) transfer it to a new folder (or install it via dosbox) on the gamedrive, run the settings/setup file via dosbox, create a shortcut, add the paramaters of a shortcut, move the shortcut to the shortcut folder, open RL, Edit the PClauncher module, add the game, locate the shortcut file, enter the paramaters AGAIN. I never played this version or knew it existed until recently) Ghostbusters 2 (Seriously the GEM of this collection for me. I've managed to pull some out of it so far. Yeah it's a mess of a set now that I've taken a closer look. So how I made it work is pretty much, a frontend (hyperspin) oppening another frontend (DOS Collection). So what I did is I managed to get a DOS collection collection from a spanish guy (From Spain) with its own frontendm which it looks really good. Besides, I didn't have a good collection for art. It was so annoying and it was sitting there in my collection taking space. I think I got the same collection of DOS games, but I never managed to make it work. With the Exo sets all the hard work is done for you. That's not to say other solutions wont work, because they will if you configure them right. They are preconfigured to work out of the box, and HS with RL has great built in support for them. Yeah, for DOS and Win3.x games you want the sets from Exo. but it still adds "\DOOM\" to the end of it.Īlmost like it's asking for a different configuration for every game. I changed the directory for the config file to the Dosbox directory C:\Hyperspin\Emulators\MS-DOS\DOSBox. Now when I try to launch it, I'm told it can't find the dosbox configuration file in X:\Games\MS-DOS\DOOM\!dos\DOOM Grabbed some cover art and set everything up in RocketLauncher. I renamed the 'rom' folder X:\Games\MS-DOS which solved my install problem and I was able to install Ultimate DOOM just fine to that directory. honestly I won't touch 90% of these as it is. Is 'Exo's set' traditionally what is used? I don't mind replacing what I have with something else out there. Inside each zip is what seems to be the contents of the install floppies. It's an absurdly large disc iso (18GB) full of zip files.
