Title: Can't load hyperlist
Post by: rendal on November 13, 2018, 12:41:18 AM
Hi everyone.
I really need your help : I can't load any "hyperlist" info.
Well, this is my "setting" for my nes collection :
###############################################################################
# On default, Nintendo Entertainment System roms are not clearly named. We need to use the HYPERLIST
# metadata for them.
##############################################################################
metadata.type = HYPERLIST

And I've changed nothing at the configuration of the files...I can't find where the problem is...

thanks
rendal

Grab your system hyperlist from http://hyperlist.hyperspin-fe.com/
then just use the relevant name in the metadata.type =

Don't use the one from hyperlist. Some of the ones included in the retrofe install have extra info you'll lose. By default the meta line in the settings is commented out because it will automatically use the hyperlist one.

Unless something has changed recently those comments about the meta setting aren't in the default settings files. Are you using some sort of preconfigured install?

Don’t use the word HYPERLIST there; use the name of the file with the meta information in the meta/hyperlist directory or comment it out, and make sure the filename equals the collection name.

First of all thanks for your help...
Then, I hope that my exemple will serve for all the next générations of RetroFE users.

I'm using the 0.8.18 version of Retro FE and I've changed nothing about the meta files...
So, here are my files in image...

It still don't work.....Since I'm french, I'm sure there's something that I've missed....

Thanks in advance

It would just be the name of the file, not the path:

Code: [Select]
metadata.type = Nintendo Entertainment System
or just put a # in front of metadata.type to comment it out and it will use the hyperlist xml matching your collection name.

Code: [Select]
#metadata.type = blahblah

IT WORKS. It was "just" the name of the meta files.... >:(
don't know why it was not "exactly" the same.....
I'm gonna write a tuto about that (since, I think it was not that simple in the user manual guide).

Thanks again
